Capturing life's happy times requires a camera that lets you get up close. That's why the Freedom Zoom 115 is equipped with a high-quality 3.1x zoom lens that lets you take dramatic close-ups. The 115 also offers a host of automatic features to ensure you get sharp, detailed pictures with little or no effort at all. And since you're on the go, all these features are packed into an ultra-thin, ultra-compact body that slips easily into a pocket or purse. A protective stainless steel shell adds a stylish finishing touch.The key to the Freedom Zoom 115's winning combination of small size and high performance is Minolta technology. The Freedom Zoom 115 has been downsized to the absolute minimum through the use of a new compact zoom lens system with two double-sided aspheric elements, significantly reducing the thickness of lens elements. The viewfinder optical system is thin, due to a compact roof prism inversion system for optimum clarity. Also contributing to the camera's compactness are efficient unit design and placement of components, as well as a thin protective stainless steel shell. The Freedom Zoom 115's high-quality Minolta zoom lens features two double-sided aspheric elements. Each lens is created using a multi-step manufacturing process where aspheric elements and a zoom component are aligned with micron order precision. At any focal length, the Freedom Zoom 115 assures clear and sharp images with superb contrast.
