Megapixel Quality
◆ The little DiMAGE Xt is big on
performance. Images captured with
the super-sharp aspheric zoom lens
are formed with 3.2 million pixels, and
enhanced by Minolta’s CxProcess image
processing technology – the same
technology used in Minolta’s top-of-the-
line digital SLR cameras. Produce up to
10 x 14˝ 150 dpi prints or double-L size
photo-quality prints.
◆ Minolta’s CxProcess image processing
technology produces vivid digital images
that mirror your original impression.
CxProcess produces clear, natural-looking
images by optimizing sharpness, color,
and contrast, while minimizing noise.
3x Optical Zoom Lens
◆ Although thinner than any single focal
length digital camera, the DiMAGE Xt
houses a revolutionary folded 3x optical
zoom lens that captures everything from
scenic landscapes to macro close-ups.
◆ By using a high-quality prism that folds
the optical path, the lens never extends
from the camera body and zooming noise
is whisper quiet. The high-performance
37 – 111mm f/2.8 – 3.6 lens ( 35mm equiv.)
include three aspheric elements to ensure
crisp, detailed images with high contrast.
◆ In addition to the 3x optical zoom, the
DiMAGE Xt has a 4x digital zoom; selec-
table in 0.1X increments. The resulting
maximum 12X zoom equals a 444mm
super-telephoto lens on a 35mm camera.
Autofocus Modes
◆ Two autofocus modes give precise con-
trol over image sharpness. Wide AF
uses a large autofocus area for quick,
easy picture-taking. Spot AF uses a
small focus area in the center of the
image frame for singling out a specific
subject or detail.
Exposure Control
◆ Advanced multi-segment metering evalu-
ates subject and scene brightness and
continuously monitors the situation for
even the slightest changes.
◆ The camera uses information about sub-
ject location from the AF system along
with 256 metering segments to calculate
the optimum exposure based on subject
and background brightness. No need to
worry that the subject will be lost in
deep shadows or washed out in front of
dark backgrounds. Additionally, the
built-in flash is activated automatically
in backlit or low-light conditions.
◆ For basing exposure on a small area of
the subject or scene, spot metering con-
centrates the exposure reading to the
area covered by the spot AF sensor.
◆ Extended shutter speed (1/1000 to 4 sec-
onds) range gives the camera greater
control over exposure.
Super Thin 3.2-Megapixel Digital Camera
An ultra-thin “shirt-pocket” camera, the stylish and award-
winning DiMAGE Xt features 3.2-megapixel CCD, 3x optical
lens and 4x digital zoom, Minolta’s CxProcess image-
processing technology, the world’s fastest start-up time of
any digital camera with an optical zoom lens, and an even
smaller and thinner camera body than it’s predecessor,
the DiMAGE Xi. For added versatility, a waterproof case is
available as an option. The contoured new vertically oriented
design of the DiMAGE Xt eliminates more than 5% from the size
and 8% from the weight of it’s predecessor. At 3.4 x 2.6 x 0.8˝ and 4.2 oz.,
the DiMAGE Xt can be slipped into a pocket or bag as easily as a wallet. The exclusive folded optical zoom system (the lens
is positioned vertically within the camera, which allows the lens to always remain inside the camera body) allowed Minolta
to recreate the world’s thinnest, compact, planar digital camera with a 3x optical zoom.
Optional Waterproof Marine Case
The waterproof MC-DG200 Marine Case allows
the camera to be taken to extreme locations.
Smooth, contoured shell is constructed of an
elegantly curved clear polycarbonate, which
allows full access to all of the camera’s controls
through mechanical buttons. From 100´ under
water to the tops of the most rugged mountain
peaks, this case will protect the DiMAGE Xt from
the elements. Extremely compact, the case is
easy to store in a life vest or day pack.
