Cyber-shot Digital Still Camera
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-N2 camera shoots superb 10.1 MP performance with high sensitivity -- and pocket album function stores up to 500 VGA images for viewing on a huge 3.02 LCD screen. Touch-screen operating convenience, Carl Zeiss 3X Optical zoom, up to 300-shot3 Stamina power.
Step-up New 10.1 MP Super HAD CCD Over 10 million pixels provide incredible high-resolution detail and definition for making big prints and cropping in on your subject -- and the advanced Sony 1/1.7 Super HAD (Hole Accumulated Diode) CCD design allows more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise. Higher Sensitivity Sometimes flash can change the mood -so the DSC-N2 features higher sensitivity (ISO 1600) for excellent low-light shots at higher shutter speed and for capturing images in museums or religious sites where flash may not be permitted. Wider D-Range Some compact digital cameras wash out color in brightly lit areas -- but the Sony DSC-N2 controls the light level received by its CCD imager to reduce washout and improve color reproduction. Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar 3X Optical/2X Digital Zoom With precision lens design and 3X Optical zoom, you can capture dramatic longshots and frame images for better composition -- and the precision Sony 2X Digital zoom function lets you enlarge image areas without jagged edges. 3.02 Clear Photo LCD Plus Screen This huge screen makes it easier to read camera menus, compose shots and share results. The Sony Clear Photo LCD Plus design reduces reflection from the LCD surface for excellent visibility outdoors -and wide-angle viewing lets you entertain a crowd with Slide Show and pocket album functions. Pocket Album Function You can store and share up to 500 photo images at VGA resolution -- and manage your album photos using simple touchscreen images to select favorites, delete shots, search your photo archive by date or year. Slide Show with Music Playback1 The DSC-N2 lets you combine images in Slide Show sequence, pick your favorites and delete unwanted shots, add up to 4 of your own music tracks and use any of 4 transition effects (simple, nostalgic, stylish or active) to make your show more entertaining. Touch-Screen Operation Convenient touch-screen operation of many camera functions replaces small, hard-to-read buttons -- so its easy to adjust camera setup and catch quick candid shots in the field. Free Spot AF In addition to normal autofocus mode, the DSC-N2 lets you focus on a subject by just touching it on your LCD screen -- a fast and simple way to adjust focus for complex scenes or moving subjects. 25 MB Internal Memory You can capture images in-camera, without using a flash memory card -- or use optional Memory Stick Duo media for ultracompact, high-capacity shooting and recording. High-Quality Video Clips In MPEG VX Fine Mode, the DSC-N2 captures VGA (640 x 480) audio/video clips at high frame rate of up to 30 frames per second4 -- with length limited only by the capacity of your media. Video Mail Mode lets you capture smaller file sizes suitable for e-mail. Stamina Battery Power A high-stamina NP-BG1 Lithium Ion battery lets the DSC-N2 shoot up to 300 images3 , giving you plenty of power when traveling or shooting on location. Picture Motion Browser Software Supplied software makes it easier to upload, organize and search photos on your PC -- and provides a convenient map view function to sort photos by location and display their origin on a world map by using an optional GPS unit. Paint Function You can stamp graphics and trace drawings or letters on your photos -- and decorated images are saved as separate VGA-size files so your originals wont be affected. 3:2 Aspect Ratio Mode Adjustable PictBridge Compatibility
