MINOX DC 8122
Take a look! A new 8.1 Mega pixel camera with 6 x zoom and image stabilizer.
For the MINOX digital camera DC 8122 our slogan
is:“Take a look – its worth it”! For any macro,zoom
or portrait snapshot – the innovative optical system
allows close focussing to just 20 millimetres with
a 6x optical zoom, giving outstanding versatility.
The small and handy DC 8122 offers a wide range
of applications for both for the casual and creative
photographer with 8 mega pixels.A standard feature
is protection against blurred images, especially
when using the long zoom range, by the built-in
image stabilizer.
Any shaking of the camera as the shutter is released
is registered by the electronics and automatically
balanced.The CCD image sensor with a resolution
of 8.1 million pixels provides all the necessary per-
formance. The high-speed autofocus MINOCTAR
lens ensures that detailed images are produced
so big enlargements of excellent quality can be
expected. Lens, image sensor and software are
perfectly coordinated to ensure sharp, brilliant and
true colour images.
Aperture and shutter speed may be selected in-
dividually if required. Also, different programmes
support the user in special situations. For example
a portrait, sport or night-time mode is selectable,
otherwise the automatic mode controls all settings,
ensuring a perfect result. An automatic white ba-
lance adapts to the individual light conditions in
daylight or artificial light.
Motif selection and subsequent image assessment
are extremely convenient with the 2,8”TFT colour
display on the rear of the MINOX DC 8122.Thanks
to its anti-reflex coating it is also easy to read from
different viewing angles, even in sunlight.With the
slim and elegant aluminium body measuring only
93 x 57 x 28 millimetres, the DC 8122 is one of the
smallest cameras in 8 mega pixel range.
Video clips inVGA resolution are available without
any time limit dependent on memory. The actual
possible length of the video relies on the capacity
of the inserted memory card.The MINOX DC 8122
has a SD card slot for cards of up to 1 GB as well
as an internal memory of 32 MB.The power supply
comes from a changeable Lithium-Ion battery.
Complete with the MINOX DC 8122 are an ever-
ready-case, wrist strap, USB and video cable as well
as a CD with software and user manual.
