Unlike other manufacturers which employ optical stabilisation within certain lenses, Konica Minolta has mounted the CCD sensor on an adjustable platform. Konica Minolta has taken a unique approach to tackling the shakes. The top image was taken without Anti Shake, while the one below was taken with Anti Shake. The images presented here are crops from a close-up taken with the 5D and its bundled lens at 70mm, using with an exposure of one quarter of a second. This is identical to the technology first seen on the earlier Dynax 7D, which Konica Minolta claims can allow you to handhold shots two to three stops slower than normal. The big selling point of the Dynax 5D is of course its built-in Anti-Shake system. We used a SanDisk Ultra II 1.0GB Compact Flash for these tests. Images are played back quickly with single frames appearing almost instantly and thumbnails of nine images loading in under a second. You can continue shooting at this rate with images being recorded to the card pretty much in real-time. The burst mode shoots at 3fps for up to ten best-quality JPEG frames, then slows to around 2fps. The 5D starts up in about half a second, which while fractionally slower than its rivals, is still quick enough for you not to miss anything. Our test model was supplied with version 1.0.2, although a free updater was scheduled for late August. The 5D is supplied with Dimage Master Lite software, but you’ll need version 1.1 to process its RAW files. All colour modes apart from the Adobe RGB ones employ the sRGB colour space. Konica Minolta says it is a USB 2 port, although quotes the USB 1.1 transfer speed of 12Mbps in its specifications.Ĭolour modes include Natural, Natural Plus, Portrait, Landscape, Sunset, Night View, Night Portrait, Black and White, Adobe RGB, and embedded Adobe RGB. The 5D uses Compact Flash memory cards and behind the door you’ll find a single port used for both USB and video outputs. Using the full resolution and best quality JPEG setting, the average file size worked out at 4MB each. They can also be recorded in Konica Minolta’s RAW MRW format with the option of an accompanying JPEG at any of the three resolutions. Images can be recorded at three different resolutions, each with a choice of three JPEG compression levels. The sensitivity can be set between a wide range of 100 to 3200 ISO. This sensor size results in all lenses effectively having their focal length multiplied by 1.5 times. The 5D employs the same 6.1 megapixel CCD sensor as its predecessor, which measures 23.5 x 15.7mm and delivers images with 3008 x 2000 pixels.
