New 2.5-inch Widescreen LCD for digital photographers who want more than a thumbnail image
Kyocera Finecam L3v/L4v with Widescreen 2.5 LCD
Kyocera innovation brings another Worlds First to digital photography with the introduction of the Finecam L3v (3.2 megapixel) and L4v (4 megapixel) digital cameras. Each model offers a new and incredible 2.5inch Widescreen LCD viewfinder for the largest, clearest view of the picture you are about to capture or review. These are among the largest LCD monitors currently available on a consumer digital camera. It's like. having your own home theatre display in your digital camera. Kyocera (the company that brought state-of-the-art technology to wireless handsets and Mita office products) developed the "DayFine" technology that uses external light to enhance the image on the 2.5-inch LCD. Compared to typical digital camera LCD's, it's like having Home Theatre in your digital camera! The "DayFine" LCD is manufactured by Kyocera to surpass the performance currently available in any competitive model. The "Dual Backlight" design incorporates a newly developed special optical film to increase the transmission of light from the LCD. In addition, ambient light is used to increase the intensity of the image displayed on the LCD. This increases the brilliance and contrast even under the brightest outdoor conditions. Compact in size, both cameras are also very lightweight at 6 ounces each so you can take them along anywhere, anytime. But don't let their small size fool you, as they are packed with lots of great built-in features. Each camera has a sophisticated 3X optical zoom lens (5.8-17.4mm, equivalent to 38~115mm) + digital zoom (4x on L4v, total of 12x; 2x on the L3v, total of 6x). A built-in lens cover helps protect the lens. There is also full flash control including Auto Flash, Red-Eye Reduction, Fill Flash, Flash-off and Red Eye Reduction with Night Portrait. Included is a Movie Mode with sound recording capability, AVI format. In addition, you can add a voice memo to any of your images. A unique feature of the L3v and L4v is the Picture Confirmation Light that lets the subject know when their image is about to be captured. A customized startup screen is another sophisticated feature found on both models. Similar to a desktop, the user can view their favorite image when the camera is first turned on. And the top mounted, easy-to-use "Command Selector Dial" (CSD) allows you to easily change from Camera, Playback, AVI Movie or Set-Up modes. The ergonomically designed keypad and selection feature buttons are positioned for easy use. The date may be easily inserted (or later removed) into any of your images for easy reminder of capture. There are also four selectable menu colors plus a "Battery Conservation Power Save" option that allows you to choose the time in which the camera remains active before automatically shutting off. Another important feature is the built-in "Image Resizing Mode" (IRM). This extremely flexible feature allows you to keep your original image while resizing the same image into a separate folder for easy emailing to family and friends. Other key features include: Metal Body Covers 2/10 Second Self Timer Exposure Compensation 5 White Balance Modes Color/B&W/Sepia Modes Chroma/Sharpness Settings Program/Aperture Priority Modes 3 Focusing Modes (Spot/Wide/Manual Focus) Long Exposures (up to 8 seconds) Auto/Manual Selectable ISO (80/160/320) Metering Areas (Evaluative/Center/Spot) Images are stored on Multimedia Cards (MMC) or Secure Digital (SD) Cards using JPEG compression to maximize the number of stored images per card. The L3v and L4v offer Fine and Normal image quality settings, while four still picture and two movie resolutions may be set independently. Both cameras feature Epson's revolutionary new PRINT Image Matching (PIM) technology, enabling them to work perfectly with the newest generation of Epson Stylus Photo Printers. With PRINT Image Matching, critical image specific parameters for printing are recorded by the camera and saved in each image data file. PRINT Image Matching-enabled Epson Stylus Photo printers use this information to ensure that they accurately reproduce the image created by the camera. The L3v and L4v are both powered by a CR-V3 lithium battery that can provide up to a very impressive 3+ hours battery life. To make the cameras even friendlier, two rechargeable Ni-MH AA batteries (optional) may be used instead of the lithium battery. To make the L3v and L4v a long lasting member of your family, the cameras have been crafted from metal external panels providing durability for many years to come.
