2 Simply elegant An absolutely fresh design makes the DiMAGE X1 a desirable and stylish camera. The metal body is polished to a mirror finish, the surface is kept flat and clean and the form is rounded. All that results in a high end look which exposes the qualities of that model.

10 New Designed Lens A new optical system was designed for the Dimage X1 to accomplish less than 20mm in thickness. Inheriting the flat zoom as a big feature of the X-series, the camera employs a folded optical system. The camera contains the Super Macro function for distances down to 5cm. It has a 3x optical zoom and uses a mechanical aperture.

11 New Anti-Shake System The camera s Anti-Shake feature differs from the CCD shift system of the A and Z series; it incorporates a new system that inclines the lens barrel. Just like the CCD shift system, the new system provides a shutter speed that can be up to 3 steps slower. During movie recording an electronic Anti-Shake is used.

14 Function of digital image stabilizer An electronic anti-shake feature corrects shaking by moving the image area read from the CCD according to the amount of shaking detected. Conceptual view of the anti-shake function Function of optical image stabilizer An optical element (glass plates or lenses) compensate the shaking. Example for an optical stabilizing system.
