Oppgradert Minolta Dimage 7i

Minolta vil i løpet av kort tid lansere en oppgradert modell til den allerede suksessrike modellen 7i. Det har svirret rykter om at den nye modellen skulle få utskiftbart objektiv, men det har vist seg å ikke stemme.

Den synligste forskjellen på oppgraderingen er sort utførelse og et forbedret grep (gummi). Resten går på billedkvaliteter og hastighet, og virker som en ren firmware-oppgradering. Dette betyr at de som allerede har en 7i i veska har har muligens en mulighet til å oppgradere denne.

Listen over oppgraderinger har nå lekket ut, og omfatter:

• PC Sync built-in
  
• Color space selectable for each picture
  
• Color profile embedded in output image file
  
• Extra Fine Mode with a compression ratio of 1/2.5 (no ECON. mode)
  
• 15 second shutter speed in Manual mode
  
• Improved high-speed continuous advance (2560x1920):
  

-Up to 10 frames at 3fps in Fine
-Up to 7 frames at 3fps in Extra Fine
-Up to 5 frames at 3 fps in RAW
-Up to 3 frames at 3 fps in Super Fine

• Customizable user interface (the following items are customizable from the set-up menu:
  

-Memory recall method

• Dialogue default on the delete confirmation screen
  
• Undo function for P re-set
  
• 9 white-balance positions; the fluorescent white-balance setting has been
  

replaced with two settings, fluorescent 1 (corresponding to the previous
fluorescent) and fluorescent 2 which is for daytime fluorescent lighting.
Also, there are now three custom white balance settings.
