Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-H5/B Digital Camera Features
7.2 Megapixel Super HAD CCD Higher megapixels gives you more detail and definition for large prints and cropping in on your subject. Sony’s advanced Super HAD (Hole Accumulated Diode) CCD design allows more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise.
Carl Zeiss 12x Optical/2x Digital Zoom 12x Optical Zoom helps the DSC-H5 bring distant subjects closer and lets you frame shots for better composition, while the precision 2x Digital Zoom provides additional magnification to zoom in close without jagged edges.
Smart Zoom Feature Sony's Smart Zoom feature lets you magnify your subject beyond the 12x optical zoom - to 16x (5MP), 18x (3MP), even 57x (VGA). By intelligently cropping into the central portion of the scene, it avoids the image distortion of other digital zooms.
Super SteadyShot Optical Image Stabilization Super SteadyShot Optical Image Stabilization fights motion blur, even during longer exposures at full zoom.
Flexible Exposure Modes Choose Auto or Program Auto for convenience, or get creative with Aperture Priority or Shutter Priority modes. Manual Exposure Mode provides extended control with 46 step adjustable Shutter Speed (30 to 1/1000 sec.), and Aperture Control (F2.8 to F8.0).
Large 3.0" LCD Screen The DSC-H5 has a bright 3.0" LCD screen for setting up and viewing images, with a one touch “ Play" button that makes it quick and easy to view your photos.
Simple Controls and Function Guide User friendly controls and a simple on-screen Function Guide text/icon display help you set up camera functions. Plus, you’ ll have greater creative freedom to adjust color mode (including “Natural" for subtle colors and “Rich" for more intense colors), sensitivity, brightness and image size.
High Sensitivity Mode A new High Sensitivity Mode (ISO 1000) allows you to shoot with great results in low light conditions. Sony’s original Clear RAW NR (Noise Reduction) image processing technology also helps suppress the color noise that can accompany high sensitivity shooting.
Capture Images In-Camera With 32 MB internal memory, the DSC-H5 allows you to shoot without a flash memory card, then transfer your images to optional Memory Stick Duo media, upload to your computer or make prints on your digital printer.
