Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S600 User manual

FEATURES
1/2.7" 4.1 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 Digital Zoom
Sony’s Precision Digital Zoom
provides an additional 3X
magnification without the
jagged edges of other designs, resulting in
smoother images.
0 –3.6X Smart Zoom™Feature
(at VGA Resolution)
The Smart Zoom feature
intelligently uses the full CCD to
let you zoom into the portion of
interest by cropping the image size –thus
avoiding the image degradation of Digital Zooms.
Real Imaging Processor
The innovative Real Imaging
Processor in the DSC-P41 not
only improves picture quality and
clarity but also improves camera response
time, decreases shutter lag and improves
battery stamina.
Optical Viewfinder
Provides accurate framing at eye level, great
for added stability and following fast moving
subjects.
1.5" LCD Monitor
The 1.5" 67K LCD Monitor makes framing
shots and reviewing pictures easy.
Auto Bright Monitoring
To help framing in low-or no-light situations,
CCD gain is briefly increased to provide an
extra bright display on the LCD viewfinder just
before 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.
AF (Auto Focus) Illuminator
An amber light briefly illuminates
the subject, in low –or no –light
conditions, helping to 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.
Auto Daylight Synchro Fill Flash
If the Multi-Pattern Measuring system
determines the subject is backlit or in shadow,
fill flash automatically fires to provide optimum
exposure.
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.
