Superb - my 1st digital camera. Very easy to use - fantastic quality! Superb - my 1st digital camera. Very easy to use - fantastic quality! Fine first-time digital camera for the novice point-and-shooter. My background: long-time amateur photographer (hobbyist) now looking to go semi-pro.

This is a great camera for someone looking to get into the slightly more high-tech end of digital photography. However, as of January 20, 2005. I have owned seven digital cameras. No other brand has the sharp, low-light focusing ability that Sony gives you at this low price point. picture quality is amazing, camera is very small and I bought it after long research in the web. Best bank for the buck. Definetly reccomended.

This digital camera is easy to handle beeing a frendly tool for a non proffesional photographer also offer good quality pictures at 5. This is my second digital camera purchase, and I am VERY pleased with this one. It offers many features for the more advanced photographer. I have enjoyed my Cyber-shot DSC-P93 very much. I have found it very easy to use and the pictures have been great.

The video feature makes this camera a great alternative to getting a camcorder if you are not planning on doing a lot of video recording.

Turn any Provision Inspection scope into a camera scope! Perfect for digital cameras! You can hook up video cameras, digital or film cameras with the new Provision Camera coupler. Great for warranty claims, diagnostic, evidence recording and much more. Features black anodized finish with precision machined 37mm threads and a recessed snug fit O ring for a more secure fit. The Provision Camera Coupler will work on all cameras with a threaded filter base but, you might need to purchase the step-up, or step-down rings that are easily available at any camera store or department.

Use the following batteries in this camera. Acceptable batteries HR 15/51:HR6 (size AA) Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries (2)
NH-AA-DA (2) (supplied) NH-AA-2DA twin-pack, etc. (not supplied)

Charging the batteries

Notes on alkaline batteries
Alkaline batteries have a shorter life compared to the supplied Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries. The power may shut off even if the battery remaining indicator shows sufficient battery life remaining. There is a big difference in the performance of batteries of different types and of batteries made by different manufacturers. This is especially true in low temperatures, where some batteries are noticeably weaker. You may not be able to shoot in temperatures below 5C (41F). Do not mix new and old batteries. The battery remaining indicator does not display the correct information. There is a big difference between available shooting time and available playback time. Due to the characteristics of alkaline batteries, the camera may shut off with the lens portion extended if you change the position of the mode dial. In this case, replace the batteries with new ones or fully charged Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries. It is recommend that you use the supplied Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries.
R6 (size AA) alkaline batteries (2) Batteries that cannot be used Manganese batteries Lithium batteries Ni-cad batteries
If you use the batteries described above, we cannot guarantee full performance of the camera by property of the batteries, such as brownout of the batteries.

Shooting according to scene conditions
Select one of the following modes, then shoot by pressing the shutter button and this will have a positive effect on your photo.

Twilight portrait mode

Use this mode when shooting people in the foreground at night. This mode allows you to shoot images of people in the foreground with distinct outlines without losing the feeling that you are shooting at night. Because the shutter speed is slow, it is recommended that you use a tripod.

Landscape mode

Focuses on images far away, so is convenient for shooting landscapes at a distance.

Twilight mode

Under dark lighting conditions, you can shoot a distant night view. Because the shutter speed is slow, it is recommended that you use a tripod.

Spot metering (

You can check the exposure referring to the histogram chart. Be careful not to overexpose or underexpose your subject (giving a whitish or darkish image). You can try to adjust the exposure to suit your taste.
Spot metering allows you to meter for the subject directly in a small area of the whole image. This lets you adjust the exposure to the subject even when the subject is backlit or there is strong contrast between the subject and the background.
d When selecting Spot metering in Step 3, position the spot metering cross hair on one point of the subject you want to shoot.

Adjusting color tones

White Balance
You can select the following modes according to your shooting situations. The color of the subject that you see will be captured according to the lighting conditions. When you want to fix the conditions under which the image is captured, or when the color of the entire image seems to be a bit unnatural, it is recommended that you adjust the white balance. Auto (No indicator) The white balance is adjusted automatically. The default setting is Auto. (Daylight) Used when shooting outdoors, and for shooting at night, under neon lights, for fireworks, sunrise, and twilight gloom. (Cloudy) Used when shooting under a cloudy sky. (Fluorescent) Used when shooting under fluorescent lights.

Spot metering cross hair

c Select (Metering Mode) with b/B, then select [Multi] or [Spot] with v/V.
(Incandescent) Used when shooting, for example, at a party, where the lighting conditions change often. Used in a studio, or under video lights.
Under fluorescent lights that flicker, even if you choose , the white balance may not be properly adjusted. When the flash strobes, the manual setting is canceled, and the image is recorded in [Auto] mode. Some of the white balance settings are restricted based on the position of the mode dial (page 37).
