Digital SLR Camera with World's First Body-Integral Anti-Shake Technology http://konicaminolta.com SUPERB SHAKE-FREE IMAGING WITH ANY DYNAX AF LENS, YOURS WITH INTUITIVE EASE The introduction of Konica Minolta's first digital SLR camera, the DYNAX 7D, marks a turning point in modern digital photography. Backed by the technical expertise that gave birth to the world's first body-integral AF 35mm film SLR camera, the MINOLTA 7000, and a world-renowned lineup of films, photofinishing systems, and other photographic products, the Konica Minolta DYNAX 7D represents a culmination of the optical and photo-imaging expertise of two of the most respected names in photography. In addition to being the first digital SLR camera in the world to offer body-integral Anti-Shake, it inherits the intuitive operating ease of the award-winning DYNAX 7 35mm film SLR camera, and maintains compatibility with genuine DYNAX AF lenses and accessories. Equipped with a large, 2.5-inch LCD monitor that brings a new standard of image reviewing to digital SLR photography, it is designed in every detail to enhance shooting comfort and creative freedom. And no freedom is likely to be more appreciated than the freedom from camera-shake offered by the DYNAX 7D’s powerful new implementation of CCD-Shift Anti-Shake. Specifically designed to match the performance requirements of the camera’s 6-megapixel CCD, it brings Anti-Shake protection to a wide spectrum of genuine DYNAX AF lenses, from macro to extreme telephoto. So you can enjoy the blur-free benefits of Anti-Shake shooting at any focal length, and be assured of the beautiful results you’ve always wanted. 2 Designed to maximize the clarity and sharpness of DYNAX lenses Large, 6.1-megapixel CCD delivers amazing image detail BREATHTAKING IMAGE QUALITY Actual size A 6.1-megapixel (effective) CCD gathers the highresolution image data you need to produce professional-quality prints that are rich in fine detail. Equipped with a proprietary Konica Minolta optical low pass filter for optimum color and tonal balance, it offers low noise and a wide dynamic range for improved highlight and shadow detail. Advanced image processor for higher speed and image quality An advanced image processor with three separate processing modules dramatically boosts image quality, data handling speed, and shooting response. Noise and signal interference are significantly reduced, and image quality is enhanced because the modules can perform complex processing tasks in parallel, allowing extremely sophisticated algorithms to be used without slowing performance. Designed specifically for the DYNAX 7D, the new processor uses proprietary technologies to handle the vast amounts of image data generated at higher resolutions, and assures a shooting experience that is every bit as responsive as a film-type SLR camera. Data: A Mode, F5.6, 1/160 s, ISO 200, WB Auto A fusion of Konica Minolta technologies for photo-imaging excellence The DYNAX 7D is a marvel of modern technology that draws on more than a century of Konica Minolta expertise in advanced optics, photo processing, digital mini labs, light measuring, electronics, and precision measurement systems. Each element plays an important role in capturing and rendering the highresolution images that turn a split-second in time into a lasting photographic memory. It is Konica Minolta’s high level of technology integration that makes the DYNAX 7D such a pleasure to use, and the images it produces such a joy to behold. From the camera’s 6.1-megapixel CCD to its advanced processing and optimization controls, the elements work together to assure truly breathtaking image quality. CxProcess™ III image optimization for more natural colors and textures optics precision measurement Exclusive CxProcess III technology optimizes color saturation, edge sharpness, and highlight/shadow contrast to ensure that colors are rendered just as the human eye perceives them. It also suppresses noise during slow-shutter capture, and assures rich textural detail and spatial perspective for vivid yet natural reproduction of skin tones, clouds and other subjects with delicate surface textures. photo processing AF 85 mm f/1.4G (D) Closest Focusing Distance: 0.85 m Maximum Magnification: 0.13 x Filter Diameter: 72 mm Dimensions: 81.5 mm x 72.5 mm Weight: 560 g 4 The DYNAX 7D is engineered to take full advantage of the advanced optical technologies incorporated into DYNAX lenses. Aspherical optics, for example, reduce the spherical aberration that can degrade resolving power, particularly on largediameter lenses. Aspherical elements also allow lenses to be made lighter and more compact, and provide excellent contrast even at the largest aperture setting. AD (Anomalous Dispersion) glass also helps improve contrast, and is particularly effective in reducing the chromatic aberration that can occur with high-power telephoto and zoom lenses. Konica Minolta was also the first camera manufacturer to feature multi-coating on its lenses, and today this technology is used to reduce ghosting and flaring on a wide range of DYNAX lenses. Fine image control for a greater range of creative freedom Four different types of digital image adjustment controls make it easy to fine-tune your photos to obtain the precise effect you want. Sharpness, contrast, saturation, and hue can all be set in 5-step increments, giving you a wide range of creative freedom. The post-processing flexibility of simultaneous RAW/JPEG recording Simultaneous RAW and JPEG data recording gives you much greater freedom in how you process your images. By saving the image in both formats, you can quickly display the JPEG version as a reference when you edit and process the RAW data for final output as a beautiful gallery-quality print suitable for framing and permanent display. The revolutionary Konica Minolta body-integral CCD-Shift mechanism ANTI-SHAKE PERFORMANCE AT ANY FOCAL LENGTH — AVAILABLE ONLY FROM KONICA MINOLTA Protection for every occasion CCD What sets the DYNAX 7D’s Anti-Shake apart from all other camera-shake compensation systems is its exclusive CCD-Shift mechanism. Consisting of an extremely sensitive angle-speed sensor and a robust new Smooth Impact Drive Mechanism (SIDM) specifically designed to match the DYNAX 7D’s large CCD, the system instantly and precisely shifts the CCD to compensate for camera motion. It’s so effective you can shoot at shutter speeds two or threes steps slower than what you could use without it. So even in low light, you can keep your images clean and sharp, free of the noise that creeps in when you boost ISO sensitivity. And because the mechanism is integrated directly into the camera’s body, it works with virtually any DYNAX AF lens — another major advantage. Anti-Shake can make the difference between a good photo and a great photo in a wide range of situations. For long telephoto shots and close-up macro photos, of course, it’s practically essential. But it can also give you much greater freedom when you want to shoot romantic candlelit portraits, twilight cityscapes, or artwork in museums where you can’t use flash. Unlike systems that only compensate for high-speed shake, Konica Minolta Anti-Shake is equally effective against low-speed shake. For sharp telephoto shots Anti-Shake OFF Anti-Shake ON Effective at any focal length Only Konica Minolta offers effective Anti-Shake protection across the entire spectrum of lens performance. Whatever type of lens you’re using* — telephoto, wide-angle, zoom, macro or standard — the DYNAX 7D analyzes data on focal length, current aperture setting, and focusing distance so that it can optimize Anti-Shake performance to offer the highest level of protection. * Except DYNAX Macro Zoom 3x – 1x. For beautiful flash shots Anti-Shake OFF Data: A Mode, F8.0, 1/300 s, ISO 200, -3 Ev, WB Manual The solution to an age-old problem No matter how advanced the camera, or how skilled the photographer, an otherwise-perfect photograph can be ruined by camera shake. Because camera shake is a fact of life — particularly at slow shutter speeds, or when shooting with high-power telephoto, zoom or macro lenses. Sometimes you can get around the prob- lem by using a tripod. But not always. Even if you’ve got one handy, the situation may demand the mobility and freedom of handheld shooting. And it may require the use of slower shutter speeds, simply because you can’t use a flash. Whatever the reason, now at last there is a solution: Konica Minolta Anti-Shake. Keeping you informed A convenient 5-step indicator in the viewfinder keeps you informed of Anti-Shake system activity. Displayed at the right side of the viewfinder, it allows you to confirm the amount of camera shake at a glance. 6 Anti-Shake ON NEW AF 17–35 mm f/2.8–4 (D) Closest Focusing Distance: 0.3 m Maximum Magnification: 0.19 x Filter Diameter: 77 mm Dimensions: 83 mm x 88.5 mm Weight: 430 g 7 Data: A Mode, F4.5, 1/250 s, ISO 200, -3 Ev, WB Auto INTUITIVE & INSTANTANEOUS CONTROL A large, 2.5-inch, high-definition LCD monitor for detail-rich display of images and shooting parameter data Easy-to-operate dials and controls Dual-purpose dials on the top of the camera Histogram display Conveniently positioned White Balance dial Actual size File Browser function Enlanged display Vertical-format display ■ A better view for better photos The 2.5-inch LCD monitor’s large screen and ultra-fine 207,000-pixel resolution make it easy to check the details of images you’ve taken.

And if you want to scan through a lot of images quickly, you can switch to multi-frame display and view 4, 9, or 16 images at a time. The DYNAX 7D features the same intuitive and easy-to-operate controls that have made the award-winning DYNAX 7 a favorite of photographers around the world. The dualpurpose exposure/drive mode and exposure/flash compensation dials on the top of the camera will be instantly familiar to any SLR user, and provide fast access to the most frequently used controls. White balance control is via a conveniently positioned dial on the top of the camera near the grip. And for extended vertical-format shooting you can use the optional Vertical Control Grip, which provides additional battery power and is equipped with its own shutter release, AE-lock and AF/MF buttons. High-durability magnesium-alloy body Enlarged playback ■ Shooting data & easy navigation In shooting mode, the monitor displays detailed information about current settings and exposure values in large, easy-to-read type.

To exercise even more control, you can use the focus area selector switch on the back of the camera to choose any of the nine sensors as a spot-focusing target — the selected focus point will be indicated by a red mark superimposed on the image in the viewfinder. metering, Anti-Shake, and ADI flash systems. Another focusing option that is particularly useful for macro and portrait photography is Direct Manual Focus. When the shutter release is pressed halfway in this mode, the focusing mechanism's internal clutch is released as soon as the AF system locks onto the subject, allowing you to manually rotate the focusing ring to fine-tune the image. Combining the convenience of AF with the enhanced creative control of MF, it lets you to enjoy the benefits of both without switching focus modes. offers full-auto shooting ease, while the PA and PS modes combine the convenience of programmed AE with the enhanced creative control of aperture-priority and shutter-priority shooting. Advanced white balance control with color temperature settings Distance metering point Distance metering area Outstanding speed, plus the ability to accurately focus on moving subjects High-speed AF data processing and lens drive systems assure instantaneous focus response, so you can more consistently capture the “magic moments” that SLR photography is all about. In addition, the AF system offers multi-dimensional predictive autofocus with auto-tracking focus-point display. It uses powerful processing algorithms to calculate the speed and direction of moving subjects in four directions, and significantly improves focusing accuracy during highspeed action photography. Auto and manual focusing modes for greater shooting versatility AF 70–200 mm f/2.8 Apo G (D) SSM Closest Focusing Distance: 1.2 m Maximum Magnification: 0.21 x Filter Diameter: 77 mm Dimensions: 87 mm x 196.5 mm Weight: 1,340 g 10 Four focusing modes assure optimum performance in a wide range of situations. There’s an AF-S mode for single-shot AF, an AF-C mode for continuous AF, and an AFA mode that automatically switches from single-shot to continuous AF when it detects that your subject is moving. In addition, the DYNAX 7D features the same AF/MF controls featured on the DYNAX 7. Conveniently positioned for easy operation with the right thumb, the AF/MF button allows you to instantly toggle between autofocusing and manual focusing — without interrupting the flow of distance information to the camera’s Optimum exposure control for beautiful images in difficult lighting conditions New direct color temperature settings provide wide-ranging, professional-level white balance control. Settable in 100K increments over a range that extends from 2,500K to 9,900K, they offer exceptionally fine control when shooting under complex lighting conditions. There are also 6 finetunable presets, 3 user-definable custom setting, and an auto mode. Advanced Distance Integration (ADI) for intelligent flash photography 14-segment honeycomb-pattern metering ■ Three metering systems The DYNAX 7D gives you a choice of 14segment honeycomb-pattern metering, center-weighted metering, and spot metering modes. The 14-segment honeycomb pattern metering is particularly versatile, and employs new metering algorithms to ensure beautiful results in extremely high-contrast or backlit situations. Exposure compensation can be set in 1/3- or 1/2-step increments, offering even finer control. ■ Versatile exposure modes In addition to aperture-priority, shutterpriority and manual exposure modes, the DYNAX 7D features three programmed AE modes that analyze a wide range of shooting data to achieve optimum results. P mode Advanced Distance Integration is available with any DYNAX D-Series lens. By comparing information obtained from the lens’ built-in distance encoder with pre-flash metering data, ADI calculates the optimum exposure settings and flash brightness needed to obtain a beautiful image — even if your subject is standing in front of a very dark, light, or reflective background. Built-in flash or remote flash — you get great performance either way The DYNAX 7D supports full-featured flash photography with the built-in flash and external flash units such as the Program Flash 5600HS(D) and 3600HS(D), allowing you to take advantage of wireless high-speed and TTL flash, rear-curtain flash synchronization, bounce flash and advanced offcamera setups for pro-level flash shooting. 11 High-performance viewfinder optics for easy focusing and framing EXPAND YOUR PHOTOGRAPHIC HORIZONS Other advanced features ■ Extra Fine mode with 1:2.5 compression Uses JPEG-format 1:2.5 data compression to achieve an excellent balance of high image quality and small file size. ■ 6M / 3M / 1.5M image size selection Provides a choice of three image sizes: 3008 x 2000 (6M), 2256 x 1496 (3M) and 1504 x 1000 (1.5M). Glass pentaprism ■ 3 color space mode selection Offers a choice of Natural (sRGB) and Natural+ (sRGB), and AdobeRGB mode. The default Natural setting provides clear color and delicate textures, while Natural+ enhances both contrast and shadow. AdobeRGB offers a wider color gamut than sRGB. Spherical acute matte focusing screen The DYNAX 7D’s viewfinder displays essential shooting parameters at the bottom of the frame, providing all the information you need to make important creative decisions quickly. Incorporating high refractive index, low-dispersion lens elements and a high-quality optical glass pentaprism, it offers crystal-clear imaging with 0.9x magnification for fast, easy framing. A spherical acute matte focusing screen also assures outstanding brightness, making it easy to confirm and adjust focus even when using small-aperture telephoto lenses. ■ High-key/low-key Zone Matching mode Extends CCD dynamic range and adjusts tone curves to beautifully emphasize highkey or low-key areas of a composition. ■ Noise reduction at slow shutter speeds Suppresses noise to ensure improved image quality on long timed exposures taken at very slow shutter speeds. ■ User-programmable settings Up to 19 combinations of frequently used camera settings can be stored in memory for later recall. ■ AF illuminator for low-light shooting Provides increased autofocusing accuracy when shooting in very low light.

High-capacity buffer memory for high-resolution continuous shooting At the high resolutions offered by the DYNAX 7D, a massive amount of image data is recorded for each frame. Ordinarily, such large quantities of data reduce the speed at which a camera can shoot continuously, because the image data from the preceding shot must be processed before the next shot can be taken. The DYNAX 7D solves this problem by using a high-capacity buffer memory and more efficient image processing. As a result, you can shoot up to 15 frames* at a high-speed rate of 3 frames per second, and be assured of capturing that “special moment” that makes a truly great photo.
