Information

• Features a 23.5×15.7 mm CCD with 10.20 million effective pixels for high precision and a wide dynamic range. • Features Shake Reduction (SR), a CCD shifting shake reduction system. This enables you to capture Sharp pictures with minimal camera shake regardless of the lens type. • Features an AF sensor with 11 focusing points. The central 9 are wide cross area sensors. • Features a viewfinder similar to that of a conventional 35 mm camera, with a 0.95 magnification and 95% field of view, for easier manual focusing. Also features a superimpose function in which the AF points on the viewfinder illuminate red. • Features a large 2.5-inch LCD monitor with 210,000 pixels, a wide viewing angle and a brightness adjusting function for high-precision viewing performance. • Features a Digital Preview function for checking the image to ensure that the desired result is achieved. • A user-friendly design has been implemented in various parts of the camera. The large, high-resolution LCD monitor and easy-to-use menus make the camera easier to operate. • Dials, buttons, body joints, and retractable parts of the camera are splash and dust resistant. • The CCD features a special SP coating against dust deposit. The Dust Removal function also shakes the CCD for removing collected dust. • Supports the optional Battery Grip D-BG2 with vertical shutter release button. If a battery (D-LI50) is inserted in both the camera and grip, the battery with more power is prioritized. This enables you to get the best camera performance for an extended period. A menu item also allows you to prioritize a battery and use its full power before switching to the other battery. • Records in the versatile JPEG format or the high quality and fully editable RAW format. You can also select JPEG+RAW and record in both formats. Pictures taken in RAW format can be processed easily. • Features Hyper-program and Hyper-manual modes that let you take pictures with the intended exposure. Also features Sensitivity Priority mode K that automatically adjusts aperture and shutter speed according to the set sensitivity, and Shutter & Aperture Priority mode L that automatically adjusts sensitivity according to the set aperture and shutter speed. The captured area (view angle) will differ between the q and 35 mm SLR cameras even if the same lens is used because the format size for 35 mm film and CCD are different. Sizes for 35 mm film and CCD 35 mm film : 36×24 mm q CCD : 23.5×15.7 mm Angles of view being equal, the focal length of a lens used with a 35 mm camera must be approximately 1.5 times longer than that of q. To obtain an angle of view framing the same area, divide the focal length of the 35 mm lens by 1.5. Example) To capture the same image as a 150 mm lens attached to a 35 mm camera 150÷1.5=100 Use a 100 mm lens with the q. Inversely, multiply the focal length of the lens used with q by 1.5 to determine the focal length for 35 mm cameras. Example) If 300 mm lens is used with q 300×1.5=450 Focal length is equivalent to a 450 mm lens on a 35 mm camera.
