CONTAX
TVS DIGITAL
State-Of-The-Art Lens Design
The Carl Zeiss T* Vario-Sonnar 7.3~21.9mm
(35~105mm equivalent in 35mm format)
zoom offers 3x optical and 4x digital zoom.
The latest technology in lens design is
standard on the Vario-Sonnar. 3 aspheric
surfaces are incorporated in this six-ele-
ment design. The T* anti-reflection coating
is applied to each lens element, dramatical-
ly reducing flare and increasing contrast
and sharpness in your photographs.
Multimedia and SD Cards
The TVS Digital exploits the advantages of
both Multimedia cards (MMC) and Secure
Digital (SD) memory cards. This media is
especially suited to the compact design of
the TVS Digital and is easily shared with
other electronic devices PDAs and cellular
telephones for storage and transmission of
images and data.
Immediate Access
The top of the TVS Digital provides instant
access via the command dial for the AVI
movie mode, two exposure control modes
(Aperture priority or Program control),
image review and main setup menu. The
top LCD Information Center provides feed-
back about the flash mode selection,
remaining pictures on the installed memo-
ry card, manual focus feedback, macro
mode and battery condition.
USB/Video Connection
Transfer of your images to a computer is
easy with the built-in USB port and sup-
plied USB cable. Video output is also possi-
ble using the video out plug and supplied
video cable to connect the TVS Digital to a
monitor or VCR. A DC in port and AC
power supply is included to power the TVS
for extended shooting or viewing.

5.2-Megapixel Digital Camera
Combining the incomparable optical quality photographers have come to
expect from Zeiss T* optics, with the cutting-edge
technology that Contax is famous for, the TVS Digital
delivers images not available from any other image
capture device. Housed in a titanium body, the TVS
Digital features a 3x Carl Zeiss T* Vario Sonnar lens -
the ultimate in high resolution, color saturation and
contrast - with a huge 5-megapixel CCD, as well as a
4x digital zoom, three metering modes, automatic
exposure and white balance bracketing, flash
compensation, high speed shutter and movie modes, LCD histogram, voice memo, self-timer/remote release and image editing.
Dual Set-up Command Modes
The well-designed layout provides quick
access to the menu items you want to con-
trol. Two set-up modes for customization
allow the user greater control over camera
functions. Set-up "C" changes camera func-
tions (Flash mode setting, change of expo-
sure compensation range, etc.) while Set-
up "D" changes digital functions (electron-
ic tone, electronic zooming, startup screen
setting, etc.). Another feature of the TVS
Digital is a customized startup screen,
which is similar to a desktop PC. The user
can choose an image taken with the cam-
era to be displayed on the screen each
time the camera is turned on. An AVI
movie mode is also featured on the new
Contax TVS Digital and can hold up to 30
seconds of high quality digital video.
For the user who wants to be a part of the
picture, the included RC-1 Remote
Controller makes it easy.
New DayFine LCD
Outdoor LCD viewing has often been a problem in the past. That is until Kyocera
pioneered a new technology which has been incorporated into the TVS Digital. The new
DayFine 1.6˝ TFT color LCD makes it easier than ever to view images or subjects while
outdoors in very bright conditions. Utilizing “Dual Backlight” design, a special optical
film increases the transmission of light from the LCD. In addition, the ambient light is
used to increase the intensity of the image displayed on the LCD. This increases the
brilliance and contrast of the LCD, even under the brightest outdoor conditions.
