November 3, 2004 � Slide the lens cover and the newly released NHJ Dzign DZ-300 powers up with an animated picture. The brightly colored compact digital camera has a 3.2-megapixel CMOS sensor and a 1.4-inch LCD screen. The camera will be released in Japan.
The 3.2-megapixel camera can shoot at three resolution sizes: 2048 x 1536, 1600 x 1200 and 800 x 600. The NHJ Dzign DZ-300 has 16MB of internal memory and a slot for an SD card. Exposure can be adjusted from -2 to +2, shutter speeds can range from 1 to 1/1000th of a second, and the white balance can be selected to automatic, sunlight, shade, light bulb or fluorescent. In the DZ-300�s macro mode, the user can shoot objects as close as 15 inches. This is not as good as most compact digital cameras; most can shoot a subject about 4 inches away. The camera has a sleep function which turns the Dzign DZ-300 off after several minutes of idleness.
