The number of magnification steps in enlarged playback is dependent on the size of
the recorded image. The smaller the image size, the fewer steps are available. 1024 X
768 digital zoom images recorded with the DiMAGE 5 are enlarged in three steps: 2X,
2.5X, and 3.2X.

On February 20th, 1962, John Glenn became the first
American to orbit the Earth. On board his Friendship 7
spacecraft was a Minolta Hi-matic camera to record that
historical event. The 4 hour, 55 minute, and 23 second
flight orbited the Earth three times at an average speed of
28,000 kph (17,500 mph).
Mr. Glenn visited our Sakai camera factory in
Japan on May 24th, 1963 to plant a palm tree in
honor of the occasion. The palm tree is still in
the courtyard of the factory and stands over
eight meters tall (26ft).
