Turn on inspiration. Turn off blur.
All cameras capture pictures. Sony®cameras
capture inspiration. Here are pictures every bit as
good as you imagine them to be. If your hand is
not completely steady, Sony’s “no shaky thing”
fixes it. If you want to capture the glow of nightlife
without the glare of flash, Sony says go ahead.
If you want to zoom in close to your kids, Sony
obliges. Even if you want to carry your entire
photo album in your pocket, Sony makes it happen.
Of course, Sony innovation in digital cameras is
no accident. It comes from a mastery of all things
digital, from the sensors that capture your picture
to the processor that manages it to the media
that stores it to the batteries that power the
entire system.
So don’tsettle for pictures when you can also get
inspiration. With Sony Cyber-shot®cameras.

on. Turn off blur.
Sony captures the moment
without the harshness of flash.
Without Image Stabilizer With Image Stabilizer
Capture the glow, not the glare.
The birthday candles. The nightclub. The limo ride downtown. They all
change under the harsh glare of flash photography. Now Sony lets you
capture these moments without flash — and without blur. Super
SteadyShot®optical image stabilization controls camera shake. High
sensitivity of ISO 1000 makes night scenes come alive. And Clear RAW NR™
noise reduction keeps it clean and clear. t
Don’t be afraid of the dark.
Darkness can confuse the auto focus system, because the cameracan’t
“see” contrast coming off the image sensor.That’swhy Sony offers
AF Illuminator.You get accurate focus even in low light.
Turn moments into memories.
Because a picture can’t capture the “oohs” and “aahs” when someone
unwraps a gift, Sony’s DSC-M2 goes beyond pictures. Hybrid Recording
lets you shoot MPEG4 movies and stills at the same time. You get five
seconds of video from BEFORE you press the shutter, a still picture,
plus three seconds after!

Now everyone can see what
you did on your summer vacation.
Sony’s pocket album function
stores hundreds of VGA-size
images, neatly filed by date.
Hundreds of pictures in your pocket.
Now whenever you have your camera, you’ve got pictures of the kids.
And the vacation. And the new house. Every time you take a picture,
Sony’s pocket album feature stores a VGA-size image, conveniently
organized by date. Carry up to 1,100 pictures! And Slide Show presents
your pictures with your own selection of MP3 background music
and transitions. t
Shoot at the speed of life.
Life moves fast. If you’re not on your toes, the most memorable
moments can pass you by. That’s why every Sony camera incorporates
the Real Imaging Processor™LSI. That’show Sony cameras typically
start in about one second. And shutter lag is typically 0.01 second!
(Times vary by camera.)
Print without a PC.
Aprinter that’s great for word processing may not be great for your
precious memories. Compared to the typical ink-jet printer, Sony’s
DPP-FP50 offers the superior beauty of 16.7 million colors — and the
superior protection of Sony’sSuperCoat 2™finish.
Sony Pocket Album

12x optical zoom brings you closer
to the action without sacrificing
resolution the way digital zoom can.
Optical Zoom
The DSC-R1 APS-class image sensor
has a whopping 12 times the area
of the typical 1/2.5" sensor.
Typical 1/2.5" sensor APS-class sensor
Get closer to the action.
Sony’s 12x optical zoom lens gets you far closer than conventional lenses,
while maintaining every pixel of resolution. Since optical quality is critical,
Sony uses a Carl Zeiss®lens. And since 12x optical zoom can magnify the
effect of camera shake, Super SteadyShot®stabilization helps keep
your pictures clearer. t

Shoot like a pro.
