The DiMAGE G400 has a 4.2 megapixel CCD allowing anyone to take beautiful images.
The 3X GT Hexanon zoom lens employs seven elements in six groups to provide sharp,
high-contrast images. The lens is designed to minimize flare and off-axis aberrations so
that the tonal range and detail in the scene are apparent in the final image. The new
signal-processing engine ensures the images captured with the CCD are reproduced as
accurately as possible.
Advanced amateurs will appreciate the image-making features included in the DiMAGE
G400. Color, sharpness, and contrast can be controlled to create the image you want.
And the color-balance function allows you to change the relative proportions of the red,
green, and blue to shift the overall color of an image.
Dark noise, an ever-present problem in electronic systems, manifests itself by giving a
grainy or sandy appearance to images taken with long exposures. DiMAGE G400
combats this with a noise-reduction function, which automatically activates for exposures
of 1/2 second or longer.
The DiMAGE G400 is easy to use. The built-in lens cover not only protects the optical
zoom, but also turns the camera on and off in one smooth movement. Buttons and
controls are ergonomically placed to facilitate operation. And the familiar click of a film-
camera shutter sound gives a positive confirmation an image has been captured.
Close-up photographs can be made of small objects. The DiMAGE G400 can focus as
close as 5cm (2 in). At its maximum magnification, an area of 8 x 6cm (3.1 x 2.4 in) is
covered.
The DiMAGE G400 has a dual card-slot system for flexible image storage. Both Memory
Sticks and SD Memory Cards can be used singly or in combination. When both memory
card types are used with the camera at the same time, up 640MB of data can be saved
depending on the capacity of the cards. This eliminates the worries of running out of
memory during those important events.
