 Beauty is in the details, and this model captures them all. The DSC-H50
is a full-featured point-and-shoot with outstanding high-power zoom
capability. It includes Smile Shutter technology which captures smile
the moment they happen, as well as Face Detection technology to
optimize focus, exposure and color for up to eight faces. Shoot
detailed images with 9.1-megapixel resolution, and bring your subjects
closer with the 15x optical zoom Carl Zeiss lens. Intelligent Scene
Recognition automatically selects your camera's settings based on
detected lighting conditions, while Sony's Double Anti-Blur solution
helps keep your images blur-free. The DSC-H50 completes the package
with a 3.0-inch ClearPhoto LCD Plus display that lets you easily view
your images and menu options.
9.1-megapixel Super HAD CCD More megapixels give you more detail
and definition when you make big prints or crop in tight on your
subject. The advanced Sony Super HAD (Hole Accumulated Diode) CCD
design allows more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity
and reducing noise.
Carl Zeiss 15x optical zoom lens
15x optical zoom provides a superb ability to bring long-distance
subjects up close -- a significant advantage for situations where you
can’t be near the action, such as sporting events or wildlife
photography.
3.0-inch tilt-up Clear Photo LCD Plus Display
The large, bright tiltable 3.0-inch Clear Photo LCD Plus display (230K
pixels) tilts up for comfortable low-angle shooting, and an
anti-reflective coating provides for excellent visibility to help you
compose, view, and share photos with superb clarity and color
reproduction, even in bright sunlight.
Face Detection
Face Detection technology automatically controls flash, focus,
exposure, and white balance to help reveal faces in shadows, make skin
tones look more natural, reduce red-eye, and eliminates harsh facial
glare.
Smile Shutter technology Smile Shutter
technology captures smiles the moment they happen. The mode can be set
to capture when your subject laughs, smiles or even grins, and like
Face Detection is able to differentiate children and adults to set
priority.
Sony Double Anti-Blur Solution The
combination of Super SteadyShot optical image stabilization and high
ISO sensitivity helps compensate for shaky hands, minimizes blur, and
allow flash-free shooting to preserve the mood.
Super SteadyShot Optical Image Stabilization
Super SteadyShot Image Stabilization compensates for shaky hands and
minimizes blur with a built-in gyro that detects camera movement and
sends correcting signals to a stabilization lens -- so there’s no need
to crop in on your shot to reduce blur.
High Sensitivity (ISO 3200) mode
With high sensitivity of ISO 3200, you can shoot effectively in low
light without flash to preserve the mood, while the Sony Clear RAW
Noise Reduction system helps suppress the color noise that can degrade
low-light shots.
Intelligent Scene Recognition mode
Intelligent Scene Recognition mode automatically detects 5 different
types of scenes and selects the appropriate camera setting: Backlight,
Backlight Portrait, Twilight, Twilight Portrait, and Twilight using a
Tripod. Intelligent Scene Recognition has two different modes, advanced
and auto. Advanced mode takes one with the standard automatic settings
and the other with optimized settings. Auto mode takes a single shot,
utilizing the camera's optimal settings.
Dynamic Range Optimization Standard & Plus
Powered by the exclusive Sony BIONZ high-speed processing engine,
Dynamic Range Optimization preserves image data in bright highlights
and reveals more detail in shadows or backlit areas -- for great
results even in difficult lighting conditions. New DRO Plus mode
enhances optimization, analyzing each region of an image and performing
additional image processing.
NightShot Infrared System
Sony’s NightShot Infrared System lets you shoot photos in near-dark or
totally dark (0 lux) conditions without using a flash, so you can
capture creative night scenes that lie beyond the power of conventional
cameras.
Variable Noise Reduction (NR Level Setting)
To allow greater control over NR, three NR Level Settings are available
-- High, Low and Standard -- allowing you to select the optimal setting
depending on the scene and individual tastes. For example, applying
high NR helps obtain smoothly textured images for portraits or dark
scenes, while the low setting is helps reduce noise without sacrificing
resolution, making it especially useful for landscapes, detailed
subjects, and contoured surfaces.
Advanced Sports Shooting mode
Advance Sports Shooting mode is ideal for shooting fast-moving
subjects. Just choose Advanced Sports Shooting mode with the mode dial.
The camera will then automatically use Auto Focus to analyze subject
motion and predict the next move while the shutter button is halfway
pressed. A high shutter speed (up to 1/4000 sec.) helps ensure you
capture the moment clearly even if the subject is moving at high speed.
Bracket Shooting mode In addition to standard exposure
bracketing, Bracket Shooting mode now includes settings for white
balance and color modes. This function records three images with one
shot, each with a different white balance or color mode applied, making
it easy to capture the ambience and feeling of the original scene.
Convenient Photo modes
To adjust quickly for specific shooting situations, you can choose from
several convenient photo modes, including Auto, Program Auto, and Scene
Selections such as Twilight, Twilight Portrait, Landscape, Portrait,
Snow, High Sensitivity, Smile Shutter, Advance Sports Shooting,
Fireworks, and Beach environments.
MPEG Movie VX Fine mode
Capture VGA (640 x 480) audio/video clips at a high frame rate (up to
30 frames per second), with the length of your video limited only by
the capacity of your media. The maximum length of time you can shoot
continuously is about 10 minutes. Plus, optical zoom is available
during movie recording.
High contrast and low chromatic aberration
The ED lens used is manufactured from super low-dispersion glass, which
drastically reduces chromatic aberration. This yields sharp, high
contrast images and decreases color fringing, especially on the edges
of images shot with telephoto lenses.
Versatile long distance flash
Versatile long distance flash is powerful enough to illuminate subjects
up to 55 meters away (at wide angle and ISO 3200 settings).
Additionally, an Auto Daylight Synchro provides effective fill-in flash
illumination for backlit subjects.
Automatic macro shooting
Standard Auto Focus now covers the macro focus range, eliminating the
need to manually change focus modes for close-up photography.
9-point auto focus
Because an off-center subject can make your shot more interesting, a
9-point auto focus measures auto-focus at 9 precision points instead of
5 -- giving you greater creative freedom to compose your image.
Smart Zoom feature
The Sony Smart Zoom feature intelligently "crops into" the central
portion of interest in your photo, helping avoid the image degradation
of other digital zooms.
Burst mode You can fire off
100 shots automatically at .64-second intervals (at any resolution: VGA
to full resolution mode) -- a great way to capture a child’s first
steps or a pet’s best tricks.
Color filter kit Five
color filter effects -- including Red, Green, Blue, Warm, and Cool --
provide the same effects via in-camera image processing that are
typically achieved with colored lens filters. Each effect provides
increased creative control when shooting.
Color Mode "Real"
For users who want to retouch their images after shooting, Color Mode
"Real" helps enable faithful color reproduction by minimizing in-camera
image processing. The color modes available are Real, Normal, Vivid,
Sepia, and Black & White.
Wheel Dial for manual exposure modes
For more creative freedom, a simple wheel-dial control lets you quickly
change camera settings in manual modes (shutter speed priority,
aperture priority, manual exposure) and also control ISO sensitivity,
focus area, and exposure value. In play mode, the wheel dial provides a
quick way to view your next or previous shot.
Remote control function
In both shooting and play mode, you can use a supplied remote control
unit to control basic camera functions -- including zoom, menu
settings, etc. -- so you can put yourself in the picture when shooting
with a tripod or sit back and enjoy the show when you share images on
your home TV screen.
Easy Shooting mode A simplified
camera environment especially attractive to beginners or digital camera
users who want to keep things simple, Easy Shooting provides
easy-to-read, on-screen instructions and limits the number of camera
settings to help prevent misuse of the camera while still providing
excellent results.
Function guide This
beginner-friendly function helps manage various functions and settings
by displaying the description of chosen functions or settings on the
LCD screen. The Function Guide can also be switched off.
Electronic color viewfinder
In addition to the LCD screen, a built-in electronic color viewfinder
lets you shoot in traditional camera style and save battery power by
turning your LCD screen off.
15MB internal memory
Even if you forget your flash memory card, you can get the shot because
15 MB7 internal memory lets you capture a limited number of shots with
in-camera convenience, then easily transfer your shots to a PC or
optional Memory Stick Duo media.
Memory Stick Duo Media convenience
A built-in slot accepts optional Memory Stick Duo media or Memory Stick
PRO Duo media -- the compact, high-capacity storage media that make it
easily to upload photos to your PC and are compatible with millions of
devices worldwide.
Stamina Battery Power Provides
extended battery life and shooting capacity when using a fully charged
Lithium Ion battery-- enough to cover a long weekend or a whole
vacation.
Easy image management To help you find the
right image among many, Date View and Favorites have been added to the
standard Folder View. Date View displays a calendar view, while
Favorites shows only user selected images. Furthermore, you can filter
photos by face types such as portrait, child, baby, and smile.
HDTV compatibility
High-resolution images can be enjoyed in all their beauty simply by
connecting the camera directly to a Sony BRAVIA HDTV or other
compatible HDTV. This provides an excellent alternative to viewing
photos as prints or on a computer monitor, and is ideal for users who
want to share photos in the comfort of their living room. Optional HD
solutions include a Cyber-shot cradle/charger with component cable
output, or component cable directly to your HDTV.
PhotoTV HD
PhotoTV HD compatibility allows the camera to be connected to a PhotoTV
HD-capable Sony BRAVIA HDTV via the optional HD output adaptor, for
highly detailed, high-definition color images displayed in
unprecedented realism and full-HD quality.
16:9 high-resolution mode
In addition to the standard 2-megapixel size, the convenient 16:9
aspect ratio shooting mode for HDTV display can now be shot in
6-megapixel resolution, making it possible to obtain beautiful,
high-definition prints with the same aspect ratio as HDTV.
Wide Zoom Display To use the entire image area of compatible HDTV screens, Wide Zoom automatically expands standard 4:3 and 3:2 images to 16:9.
PHOTOMUSIC
Expanding the HD Slide Show with Music feature, PHOTOMUSIC combines
images with music to produce fun and entertaining slide shows. The five
standard visual effects (Simple, Basic, Nostalgic, Active and Stylish)
have been supplemented with Face1: Basic, Face2: Nostalgic and Face3:
Stylish for a total of eight effects. Additionally, the number of music
tracks stored in the camera memory has been doubled from four to eight,
and music playback time has been extended from three to five minutes
per track. More personalized slide shows are also possible by
transferring music from a PC to the camera.
In-camera retouching
Add creative effects to photos after you shoot using any of 10
retouching functions, including: Trimming, Red-Eye adjustment, Soft
Focus filter, Unsharp Mask, Cross filter, Partial Color filter,
Fish-eye filter, Retro, Radial Blur and Happy Face. The Happy Face
effect uses photo retouching to put a smile on faces, with smile levels
adjustable from 1 to 5.
In-camera red-eye correction
Irritating "glowing eyes" can ruin even the most creative photos, but
in-camera red eye reduction corrects your photos at the touch of a
button to reduce lingering red-eye effect that other systems might
miss.
Multi-resizing function Resize your photos
in-camera for virtually any purpose! Any size picture images can be
resized to widescreen 16:9 and 2 MP resolution for display on an HDTV.
Conversely, high resolution, widescreen 16:9 images or any size picture
can be resized to 4:3 size with VGA (640x480) resolution -- perfect for
sharing with friends and family via e-mail (internet connection
required).
