Boasting a sturdy body which is watertight to a depth of ten meters, the DC 6033 WP digital camera stands up to dust, water, sand and salt and has been specially designed for use in a rough environment. This camera is geared to capture perspectives, whether canyoning, on the beach, diving or sailing, or in hard everyday working life. It has a 6 megapixel CCD sensor. The high quality multicoated MINOCTAR lens which delivers neutral color rendition features a 42 mm fixed focal length (in 35 mm format terms) and permits macro shots from a distance of 60 cm from the subject. It is also impact-resistant and hard wearing – despite weighing in at just 230 grams with dimensions of 78 x 120 x 43 mm. The choice of subject and viewing of the image after the shot is even possible under water with the 2 inch TFT color monitor on the back of the MINOX DC 6033 WP. An integrated electron flash unit automatically brightens up the scene or, alternatively, only if selected to do so by the photographer. In addition to this, there are various exposure programs to help the user in special situations. The photographer can, for example, choose between an underwater, portrait, sports, landscape or night-time mode. Otherwise the automatic mode takes over all necessary adjustments and controls everything from pin-sharp focus to the correct exposure. ISO sensitivity and white balance can also be adjusted automatically or manually. The extended scope of the DC 6033 WP includes the use as PC-Cam or the recording of video clips. Besides the slot for SD memory cards with a capacity of up to 2 gigabytes, it has a 16 megabyte internal flash memory. For independence when traveling commercially available AA batteries or rechargeable batteries are available as power source. The camera has a digital USB port and a PictBridge interface for direct printer connection. The scope of delivery of the MINOX DC 6033 WP includes two AA batteries, a wrist strap, case, USB cable, CD-Rom with software as well as a user manual.
