Konica Minolta is pleased to announce the Konica Minolta Maxxum 7D. This ground-

breaking new 6.1-million-pixel resolution, lens-changeable digital camera is the world’s

first digital SLR boasting a body-integral CCD-shift, “Anti-Shake” technology that

combines enhanced picture quality, performance and improved handling

characteristics. The Maxxum 7D is compatible with the full range of Maxxum AF

lenses.

The key benefit of Anti-Shake being it can support most of Konica Minolta’s AF lenses.

Anti-Shake technology allows photography with reduced blur due to camera shake,

even when shooting dimly lit scenes or when using telephoto lenses and shooting

macro subjects without the aid of flash or a tripod.

Another key to the camera’s performance are its 6.1-million effective pixels, housed on

an APS-C size CCD plus Konica Minolta’s proprietary, CxProcess™ III image process-

ing technology that delivers high-definition, natural-looking images.

The camera also boasts a large, easy-to-view, high-definition 2.5-inch color LCD

monitor, the large screen handles the tasks of menu navigation and image display,

also providing shooting information and camera setting displays. In keeping with its

acclaimed Maxxum film SLR counterpart, the Maxxum 7D inherits a similar, simple to

use dial and lever operation system. Enhancing handling further, the new model also

features a superbly-bright, easy-to-view, high-performance viewfinder designed to be

comfortable and easy to use.

In addition, the new digital SLR offers a comprehensive function set, designed to meet

a diverse range of photographic challenges and user needs, complemented by a broad

range of Maxxum accessories.

Konica Minolta is pleased to introduce the new DiMAGE A200 8.0-megapixel SLR-type

high-performance digital camera that is perfect for all levels of photographic experience

from advanced amateur to creative beginner. Equipped with Konica Minolta’s Anti-

Shake technology featuring a unique CCD-shift mechanism where the CCD shifts to

minimize the effect of camera shake up to 3 shutter speeds. Konica Minolta’s Anti-

Shake function delivers a highly effective way to take high-quality images with low-ISO

hand-held shooting under telephoto and low lighting situations.

In addition, the camera’s newly employed vari-angle, TFT color LCD monitor can be

rotated up to 270° vertically and 180° horizontally, allowing photographers unrestricted

shooting at high and low angles. The included multi-functional wireless remote control

makes it easier to take self-portraits and movies whenever and wherever. And,

because the LCD provides high-speed, real-time viewing at 60 frames per second,

there is minimal lag time between the on-screen display of moving images and the

press of the shutter release.

The DiMAGE A200 comes equipped with an 8-megapixel 2/3-type progressive

primary-color CCD with 8.0 million effective pixels for super-high-resolution. The

Konica Minolta 7X optical GT lens ensures that light gets to the CCD sensor with

maximum fidelity. Plus, with its proprietary new advanced LSI engine and

CxProcess™ III image-processing technology, the DiMAGE A200 provides high-speed

and stress-free image processing with low power consumption. And, its ability to

suppress noise and provide exceptionally accurate color reproduction means that

users get high-quality images every time.

Konica Minolta will introduce a new image editing and enhancing application software,

the “DiMAGE Master”, to the market with the launching of its world’s first digital SLR

with body-integral anti-shake technology, Maxxum 7D, as well as the new digital EVF

camera, DiMAGE A200. To satisfy the needs from DSC users for a more practical

software with advanced and easy-to-use features, such as filing , editing, processing

and printing of images, the DiMAGE Master is an optional software application to

improve creative workflow for advanced users. The newly developed 3D Lookup Table

(3D-LUT) technology for RAW processing enables more accurate color reproduction,

and can process any RAW images taken by a Konica Minolta digital camera.

Diversified operations, such as viewing, classifying, correcting, printing and more, can

be performed in the three main operating windows.

Boost Work Efficiency:

-Organizer Window

Users can browse images quickly with its instant thumbnail display. Focus checker

quickly enlarges a small portion of an image with just a click of the mouse, it’s as

simple as checking films on a light box with a magnifier to confirm focusing results.

Images can be classified into four customizable categories with just clicking a button.

-Examiner Window

Advanced and unique tools are available for accurate and effective comparison that

helps to select the best shot from several images, such as which were taken under the

same scene. The selected images can be interactively displayed and examined in

detail on the base of quantitative analyses of exposure, histogram, white balance and

focus.

-Photofinisher Window

The DiMAGE Master’s Photofinisher windoe provides a sophisticated platform for

image retouching with professional and user-friendly functions. Each editing screen for

such as white balance adjustment, tone-curve tuning, can be opened from the tool

menu in the Photofinisher window. The variation pallet allows an image to be corrected

by comparing it to other slightly corrected images that are automatically displayed

surrounding the original.

Main features:

-3D-LUT color conversion

It enables more accurate color reproduction by converting RAW image data precisely

in individual color with the newly developed algorithm.

-Customizable classification

Image files can be easily organized into four customizable categories just by clicking a

button or dragging and dropping.

-Focus checker

It enlarges a pointed portion of an image to confirm focusing results with just a mouse-

click.

-Image comparison

The tools are available for comparing images side-by-side and interactively in details

on the basis of objective analyses of histogram, white balance and so on.

-Color management

The color management system using ICC profiles is built for color matching, for

instance, the ICC profile for QP paper renders the best color reproduction for use with

Konica Minolta inkjet paper (QP paper).

-Image correction jobs

It helps to save image correction settings for easy application to other images.

-Advanced sharpness correction

Sharpness can be appropriately enhanced by the precise and flexible adjustment of

spatial frequency response.

-Snapshot

Image corrections can be stored temporarily as a thumbnail next to the displayed

image.

-Apply processing function

It allows a batch processing of multiple corrected images and saving operations can be

executed in a lump.
