Features

Any unique features: Behind that substantial-looking lens there’s not one, but three CCD image sensors, one for each primary colour. Triple CCD sensors are a standard feature on professional and studio video cameras, they improve colour accuracy and rendition no end, and have a big impact on noise levels. They also help low light performance and because of the way the pixels overlap, there’s also a small but worthwhile increase in resolution, compared with single-chip cameras. The DX100 has a full set of automatic and programmed exposure facilities -- even your old granny can use it -- but there are manual controls as well, so it can cope with just about any kind of lighting situation, and to help with the exposure there’s a facility called ‘zebra pattern’.

It’s a common feature on pro-cameras, that superimposes a cross-hatch pattern on over-exposed areas of the image, simplifying manual adjustment. On the top of the machine there’s a conventional colour viewfinder and on the side there’s a 2.5-inch fold-out colour LCD monitor screen, for on the spot playback, with sound. It will also face forward, for self recording (the image is automatically inverted). Sound quality is broadcast quality too, it has a choice of two 12-bit PCM digital stereo soundtracks, one of which can be dubbed, or one 16-bit stereo soundtrack, that compares favourably with CD audio. There’s a comprehensive set of editing facilities, and an industry-standard FireWire digital output, for no-loss transfer of digital video to PCs and digital editing equipment.
