DiMAGE Image Viewer Utility Software
The utility software can import
RAW images (12-bit data
unprocessed by the camera) and
combine it with the original cam-
era settings or allow corrections
and manipulations using the
built-in functions. There are vari-
ous correction tools to choose
from: tone curve/histogram,
brightness, contrast, color pallet,
hue/saturation, lightness adjust-
ments, and sharpness filters.
Images can then be saved in TIFF,
JPEG or BMP formats.
Other functions include the Color Correction Job that saves correction settings so
they may be applied to different images. With the variation function, photogra-
phers can choose the best image from a series of automatically bracketed correc-
tions. The unique sharpness correction method is easy and effective. The color
matching is compatible with most color spaces. The ICC profiles can provide
accurate color reproduction. The software also shows the date, focal length, and
exposure used when the image was captured.
Conveniences
◆ High 22mm eye relief offers comfortable
viewing for eyeglass wearers when view-
ing the SLR-type Viewfinder.
◆ Compatible with Type I/II CompactFlash
cards as well as with IBM’s Microdrives.
◆ NTSC/PAL video output allows immedi-
ate playback of images on a TV or moni-
tor via the supplied video cable.
◆ Use the optional RC-1000S or L Remote
Cables to minimize shake during long
exposures. Accepts 49mm filters as well.
◆ Unique Anti-Shake Function minimizes
handheld camera shake to provide the
sharpest images possible. Especially
valuable when shooting at long focal
lengths or in low-light conditions with-
out a tripod, Anti-shake allows the cam-
era to be handheld with shutter speeds
eight times longer than usual. When
using the camera at the telephoto set-
ting, approximately 90% of the images
recorded will be sharp even with a shut-
ter speed as slow as 1/25 sec.
◆ Add 15-second audio memos to images
as well as text-based information (date,
time, serial numbers and text up to 16
characters).
◆ Uses four AA type batteries— alkaline,
nicad or NiMH. There is also an optional
AC adapter available.
