Manufacturer's Description
The DiMAGE Z20's 8X optical Mega Zoom and 4X digital zoom combine for a total 32X zoom, allowing you to capture everything from sports events to panoramic scenery. The optical lens system consists of 11 elements in nine groups and includes two aspheric lenses, a construction that adds up to sharp, high-quality images. The DiMAGE Z20 combines a 5.0-megapixel primary-color CCD with proprietary CxProcess" III image processing technology for pictures that are exactly the way you see them.
The DiMAGE Z20's Rapid AF combines a passive AF sensor with the video AF system, giving a fast focusing time of approximately 0.3 second in both the wide-angle and telephoto positions. The Rapid AF also has Predictive Focus Control, which predicts where a moving subject is heading and focuses accordingly. To round out the list of quick-response features, the DiMAGE Z20 has the fastest startup in its class (approx. 0.5 sec.), a short shutter-release time lag, and continuous shooting. Now you can be stress free amid all the excitement when you capture those decisive moments during sports events or other continuous action.
Not only is the DiMAGE Z20 a sprinter with its fast startup; it's also a marathon champ with power efficiency that allows you to take up to approximately 450 frames with the four included AA alkaline batteries. This is more shots than any other digital camera in its class.
The DiMAGE Z20 has a Macro mode that allows you to bring the lens as close as 1 cm from the subject. Capture the smallest subjects-flowers, insects, or jewelry-with the greatest detail.
In addition to all its still shooting features, the DiMAGE Z20 can also take high-quality movie clips in VGA (640x480) size.
Despite its large 8X optical zoom, the DiMAGE Z20 weighs just approximately 300 g. Its ergonomic form gives you a steady grip while its intuitive control button layout allows even camera novices to be up and enjoying digital photography in no time at all.
