Extraordinary Image Quality The DiMAGE X60 s 5 Megapixel CCD and CxProcess III image-processing technology combine to deliver sharp, high-resolution images. You get photo-quality prints as large as 17x13 cm at 300 dpi, as well as enlargements up to 35x26 cm at 150 dpi for truly memorable shots. CxProcess III helps reproduce shadows and highlights with outstanding accuracy, so images look natural and true-to-life. Also its noise reduction automatically prevents the blemishes and graininess associated with slowshutter shots (up to 4 seconds). This gives crisp, clear night scene images with minimal noise. The Best Shooting Modes Automatic Digital Subject Program Selection automatically chooses the optimum shooting mode for your subject. Or, you can choose from Portrait, Sports action, Landscape, Sunset, Super Macro*, Night portrait/night view*, and text* modes. Either way, this advanced function enables you to take fabulous photos with ease. *Activated via manual selection only. Precise Autofocus The wide 5-Point AF makes it easy to focus on your subject. Also, manual selection of Spot focus mode gives you more accuracy with the ability to focus on a specific point of the frame. Multi-Segment Metering/Spot Metering Multi-Segment Metering automatically measures light readings over the entire frame to give you the best exposure for your subject. And Spot Metering measures light in the centre of the frame, allowing you to measure the brightness of a particular spot on your subject. Take Extreme Close-ups The DiMAGE X60 allows wide-angle close-ups that are clearly focused as near as 10 cm from the subject, without the need to switch to macro mode. If you need to get even closer, a Super Macro mode takes extreme close-ups as near as 5 cm from the subject. Direct Camera-to-Printer Printouts Forget all about complicated connections with a PC.
