`
`Toshiba's New Digital Still Camera Is World's First with
`Modem. A Practical Solution for Immediate Image
`Transmission.
`7 August, 1995
`
`TOKYO -- Toshiba Corporation today announced the world's first compact digital still camera
`equipped with a modem and communications software, allowing users to transmit recorded
`digital images via standard telephone lines, without any additional external equipment. The
`new camera is expected to find application in various areas where rapid provision of visual
`images is at a premium.
`
`The new camera, PROSHOT (PDR-100), embodies the concept of a 'digital communication
`camera' that can easily record and quickly transmit images from remote locations. The camera
`incorporates a 1/3-inch 410,000-pixel charge-coupled device (CCD) and offers fully
`automated focusing. An integrated, automatic flash adds to simplicity of operation, allowing
`users to record digital images in all light conditions.
`
`PROSHOT incorporates a 16-megabit NAND flash memory and offers two megabytes of data
`storage, which can store up to 40 digital images. A built-in microphone also allows it to record
`audio signals. Memory capacity for both images and audio sources can be greatly expanded by
`use of the camera's built-in PCMCIA slot and PC memory cards. These also allow images
`taken with the camera to be transferred directly to a PC with a similar slot.
`
`Images taken with the camera can be fed directly to a television as a video source. An optional
`dedicated LCD can be used also, allowing instant monitoring of images.
`
`PROSHOT will be introduced into the Japanese market on September 1, at a price of 260,000
`yen. Annual sales of 12,000 units a year are anticipated.
