MINOX DC 8111
ELEGANT COMPACT CAMERA WITH 8.1 MEGA PIXELS ENHANCES SCOPE FOR CREATIVE PHOTOGRAPHY
Top digital performance in its most compact form:
with the DC 8111 MINOX presents a digital ca-
mera of the 8 megapixel class which sets a new
benchmark in design, equipment and performance
potential. A CCD sensor with a resolution of 8.1
million pixels embedded in the heart of the han-
dy and elegant aluminum body demonstrates the
same sensational quality as the multicoated and
fast MINOCTAR lens. Autofocus, 3x optical and
5.1x digital zoom, automatic exposure as well
the possibility to set the camera manually are
features which give the creative photographer
enhanced scope.
The color monitor on the back of the camera,
which is based on state of the art LTPS-TFT tech-
nology, is another eminent feature: the generously
dimensioned, brilliant and sharp display with a
diagonal of 2.5” enables the photographer to
compose the picture prior to pressing the re-
lease button and then assess the shot directly
afterwards. For this purpose it is also possible
for several people to conveniently view the shot
without glare from different angles, even when in
bright sunlight. Additionally, the DC 8111 boasts
an optical viewfinder.
Natural color rendition of the images is ensured
through perfect, individual coordination of the
image sensor, lens, electronics, and software com-
ponents. The user can enjoy creative freedom by
selecting the manual mode – for nighttime, sport,
portrait or macro images from a distance of just
five centimeters, for example. This is where the fre-
ely selectable apertures and shutter speeds deliver
the required amount of scope. An automatic white
balance ensures optimal exposure in varying light
conditions. Four different flash functions enable
perfect coordination of the shot to the ambient
conditions. A minimal shutter release delay allows
spontaneous snapshots whatever the situation.
The SD card with up to 1 GB capacity serves as
memory and the power supply comes from a Li-Ion
battery. For a fast file transfer the DC 8111 has a
digital USB interface.
The scope of delivery includes the AC-DC adapter,
Lithium ion rechargeable battery, SD card (64 MB),
case, wrist strap, USB and video cable, CD-ROM
and manual.
