1/1.8" 5.1 Megapixel Super HAD™CCD
Super HAD (Hole Accumulation
Diode) CCDs provide excellent
image quality by allowing more
light to pass to each pixel, increasing
sensitivity and reducing noise.
3X Optical/2X Digital/6X Total Zoom
Optical zoom helps you fill the
frame with your subject for better
pictures. And Sony’s Precision
Digital Zoom helps bring your subject closer
with an extra 2X magnification
0 –12.0X Smart Zoom™Feature

the Live Histogram Displays the
concentration of pixels at each
luminosity value making it easy to evaluate
correct exposure.
14-Bit DXP A/D Conversion
Sony’s 14-bit Digital EXtended
Processor captures the range
between highlight and shadow
with up to 16,384 values, for extended
dynamic contrast and detail.
5 Area Multi-Point Auto Focus
By evaluating 5 separate focus
areas of the frame, Sony’s
Multi-Point AF system can
intelligently focus on the subject and avoid
mistakenly focusing on the background.
Manual Exposure Mode
Manual Exposure Mode provides
extended control with 46-step
adjustable Shutter speed
(30 –1/1000 sec.), and 2-step Aperture control.
AF (Auto Focus) Illuminator
Briefly illuminating the subject, in
low –or no –light conditions, the
AF Illuminator helps establish a
positive focus lock.
Selectable Focus Mode
Monitoring AF (Auto Focus) helps you
anticipate the action by focusing even before
you press the shutter release.
Multi-Pattern Measuring
Independently light-metering 49
points of the frame, Multi-Pattern
Measuring establishes the
optimum exposure, even when highlight and
shadow isn’t centered in the frame.
Scene Selection Mode
With 9 Scene Modes, parameters
can be matched to the shooting
conditions. Choose from one of
the following: Twilight, Twilight Portrait,
Landscape, Soft Snap, Candle, Snow, Beach,
Fireworks, or High Speed Shutter
Pre-Flash Metering
With a momentary pre-flash, the camera
illuminates the subject and sets exposure
through the lens for accurate flash metering.
Adjustable flash level and red-eye reduction
ensure great flash shots.
Slow Shutter Noise Reduction
During long exposures, Slow
Shutter NR captures the scene,
and then the CCD noise pattern
with a dark frame exposure. By subtracting the
two, even long exposures can be clear.
