Touching allowed – AgfaPhoto digital camera with touchscreen



The new AgfaPhoto DC-1338sT has a 3″ touch screen TFT display.



Uhingen, 22. September 2008. It’s impossible to stop touching the new AgfaPhoto DC-1338sT with touch screen. At photokina the new camera will be presented to the public for the first time. The new AgfaPhoto family member will be on display from the 23rd through the 28th of September 2008 in Hall 05.2, booth C031, waiting to be touched.



The AgfaPhoto DC-1338sT has a 3″ touch screen TFT display. A gentle touch – either with a finger or a stylus – of the display is all it takes for the user interface to open up. Thanks to the intuitive icons the DC-1338sT is immediately user-operable, so that all the functions and settings can be used lightning fast.



Apart from the touch screen TFT display of the light and compact digital camera its chic black metal casing will also win you over. With this design the AgfaPhoto DC-1338sT is bound to attract all looks towards it and conjure up a little smile to the lips of those photographed. With its “Smile detection” function those joyously radiant facial expressions will be automatically focussed on for sharp result. For even more successful results the camera comes equipped with a “Face tracking” function – which clearly improves the capture of faces – plus the picture stabiliser and the AF light. This enables you to take great photos even under difficult lighting conditions.



For fans of YouTube the AgfaPhoto DC-1338sT has another special highlight: whoever records videos can immediately save them in the YouTube format and upload them without problem to the portal.



The AgfaPhoto DC-1338sT features a 3x optical zoom and a 5x digital zoom, a 10-megapixel resolution, a sensitivity up to ISO 3200 and 22 scene modes, such as Sport and Night shot mode. In addition to an Album and Photo frame function, there is a built-in loud speaker for video recordings as well as a Burst function, enabling you to take a consecutive series of photos. In the package there is also a rechargeable battery and an external charging device.



The AgfaPhoto DC-1338sT is available from the end of October.
