DSC-H5

Step-up New

Cyber-shot digital still camera
With professional black styling, Carl Zeiss 12X Optical zoom lens design and Sonys Super SteadyShot Optical Image Stabilization system, the DSC-H5 makes distant subjects amazingly sharp -- and provides 7.2 megapixels for cropping and big prints. High Sensitivity Mode (ISO 1000) allows natural shots in low light even without flash -- and a giant 3.LCD screen with Function Guide helps you set up great shots more easily. 7.2 Megapixel Super HAD CCD Higher megapixels gives you more detail and definition for large prints and cropping in on your subject. Sonys 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/24X Total Zoom 12X Optical Zoom helps the DSC-H5 bring distant subjects closer and lets you frame shots for better composition; Sonys precision 2X Digital Zoom provides an additional 2X magnification to zoom in close without jagged edges. 57X Smart Zoom Feature 4 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 46step adjustable Shutter speed (30 1/1000 sec.), and Aperture control (F2.8 - F8.0). Large 3.Clear Photo LCD Plus Screen The DSC-H5 has a bright 3.0 screen with Sonys Clear Photo LCD Plus technology for bright high contrast viewing -- with a one touch Play button that makes it quick and easy to view your photos. Simple Controls, Function Guide User-friendly controls and simple onscreen Function Guide text/icon display help you set up camera functions -- and youll 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 -- and Sonys original Clear RAW NR (Noise Reduction) image processing technology helps suppress the color noise that can accompany highsensitivity shooting. Stamina Battery Power With its powerful Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) rechargeable batteries, the DSCH5 can capture up to 3403 images per charge -- enough for a week of shooting. The compact BC-CS2 Battery Charger is also supplied for battery recharging on the go. Capture Images In-Camera With 32 MB2 Internal Memory, the DSCH5 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. Memory Stick Duo Media The DSC-H5 has a built-in slot for optional Memory Stick Duo or highercapacity Memory Stick PRO Duo media -- the ultra compact media for shooting, storing and sharing your photo images.
