Sleek Black Styling, Carl Zeiss 12x Optical Zoom
For high-contrast
images that take advantage of the DSC-H5's advanced CCD capabilities, a
pro-quality Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens design with 12x optical zoom lens
provides finely detailed images of distant subjects--with 24x digital zoom for
dramatic closeups of your subject.
Super SteadyShot Optical Image Stabilization
Other image
stabilization systems crop in to compensate for "camera shake"--but with the
Super SteadyShot system, optical sensors detect camera movement and send
correcting signals to a stabilization lens that allows even ultra-long-distance
digital photos to capture more detail with less camera shake distortion.
7.2-Megapixel Super HAD CCD
More megapixels give you more detail
and definition for editing, cropping, and making large digital prints. Sony's
advanced Super HAD (Hole Accumulated Diode) CCD design allows more light to pass
to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise.
High Sensitivity Mode
A new High Sensitivity Mode (ISO 1000) lets
you shoot without flash for more natural results in low-light conditions and
shoot at higher shutter speed to minimize blur from unsteady hands or
fast-moving subjects--and Sony's original Clear RAW NR (Noise Reduction) image
processing technology helps suppress the color noise that can accompany
high-sensitivity shooting.
Giant 3.0-Inch LCD Screen
With an oversized 3.0-inch LCD screen,
you'll find it easier to compose shots, check results, and read camera menus
even in bright sunlight--and a one-touch "Play" button makes viewing your photos
quick and simple.
Clear Photo LCD Plus Design
To improve your image for photo viewing
and shot setup, Sony's Clear Photo LCD Plus design minimizes reflection from the
LCD surface for excellent visibility outdoors even in bright sunlight--with
wide-angle viewing lets you share images with a group of friends or family.
Simple Camera Setup Features
The DSC-H5 allows you to set Color
Mode (Standard, Vivid, Natural, Sepia, or Monochrome), adjust image brightness
with one-touch simplicity (including EV compensation for shooting into the sun
or on cloudy days), and select the image size that's best for the print size you
want and the remaining capacity of your camera's 32 MB internal memory or
optional Memory Stick Duo media.
Function Guide Text/Icon Display
On-screen, a simple Function Guide
text/icon display makes it easy to learn the camera functions that give you
greater creative freedom to adjust color sensitivity, brightness, and image size
for great shots in a wide range of situations. You'll also have quick reference
to camera functions like flash, macro, and self-timer settings.
Creative Manual Exposure Modes
For more creative freedom, the
DSC-H5 lets you adjust shutter speed to freeze the action or shoot with long
time exposures--and control depth of field with aperture adjustment to
concentrate on the foreground or capture "deep-focus" background.
Manual Focus with MF Peaking
In manual focus mode, the 3.0-inch LCD
screen of the DSC-H5 highlights an outline of the shooting subject in color so
it's easier to make adjustments. Why focus manually? To concentrate on an
off-center subject, one face in a crowd, or an unexpected creative choice in a
complex scene.
Capture Images In-Camera
With 32 MB internal memory, the DSC-H5
allows you to capture shots in-camera for later transfer to PC or Memory Stick
Duo media--so even if you forget your flash memory card, you can always get the
shot.
57x Smart Zoom Feature
Sony's Smart Zoom feature gives you an
amazing ultra-closeup crop on the central portion of interest in your photo
while avoiding the image degradation of other digital zooms.
MPEG Movie VX Fine Mode
The DSC-H5 can capture VGA (1000 x 480)
audio-video clips at high frame rate (up to 30 frames per second)--with new
Optical Zoom for Movie to provide high-ratio zooming for sports and
long-distance subjects and allow you to adjust zoom while taking action shots.
Memory Stick Duo Media
The DSC-H5 has a built-in slot for optional
Memory Stick Duo or higher-capacity Memory Stick PRO Duo media--the
ultra-compact media for shooting, storing, and sharing your photo images.
