Using Sony's interpolated imaging technology the FD83 camera can realize a 17% increase in image size, delivering a 1 million pixel image (1216 x 912). Mavica FD83 provides high quality still images by reading all of the pixels on the imager (CCD) with a single pass. This one-time pass over the imager delivers clean edges and an overall sharper picture quality. The MVC-FD83 allows you to capture up to 60 seconds of video and audio right onto a standard 3.5" floppy disk. This is one of the fastest, easiest ways to get video and audio into your personal computer, for E-Mail, Web sites, or presentations, etc. MPEG Movie offers 2 settings: Presentation Mode, up to 15 sec. (320 x 240) and Video Mail Mode, up to 60 sec. (160 x 112).
