Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z1 - Manual (Page 4)

Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z1 -4-
Backgrounder (cont’d)
As well as Natural Color and black and white, the DiMAGE Z1 has two color modes for creative
control: Vivid color and Sepia. Vivid Color increases the saturation to produce vibrant color
images. Sepia creates the feel of antique photographs with its warm tone.
White balance controls how the camera interprets the color of the ambient lighting. Auto white
balance compensates for changes in lighting automatically. Five preset white-balance settings,
daylight, cloudy, tungsten, fluorescent, and flash, can be selected for specific light sources. And
for critical control over color, the custom setting allows the camera to be calibrated to the lighting
conditions at the scene.
Being able to see the images that have been taken immediately enhances the excitement of digital
photography. With the flick of a switch, users can access their recorded images. And playback is
fluid from frame to frame.
Accessory Flash Compatibility
The DiMAGE Z1 is compatible with the Konica Minolta Program/Maxxum Flash 3600HS (D) or
5600HS (D) units as well as the latest addition to the Minolta accessory flash line, the
Program/Maxxum Flash 2500 (D). These powerful flash units can be used directly on the camera.
The 3600HS (D) and 5600HS (D) have a zoom head that automatically adjust as the camera’s
lens is zoomed in and out, and their heads can be tilted for bounce illumination. The 5600HS (D)
also has a swivel head and the flash output can be controlled with power ratios. The new 2500
(D) is a compact, automatic flash unit with a tilting head and an affordable price tag.
