DSC-S780

PRELIM
Cyber-shot Digital Still Camera
The Sony DSC-S780 features Face Detection technology that detects up to three individual faces and optimizes focus and exposure for accurate, natural photos of family and friends. The compact body features 8.1 megapixel resolution, 3x optical zoom lens, a large, 2.51 LCD screen, and 5 point auto focus. The DSC-S780 rounds out the package with high ISO sensitivity that helps reduce blur when shooting indoors or at twilight, even without flash.
8.1 MP 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. 5-Point Auto Focus A five-point auto focus evaluates your shot at 5 points on your screen -- so youll get great results even with offcenter subjects that make interesting photo compositions. 2.51 TFT LCD Display The large, bright 2.51 TFT LCD display makes it easy to compose shots, check results, and read menus in sharp natural color, even in bright sunlight. 22 MB2 Internal Memory Even if you forget your flash memory card, you can get the shot because 22 MB2 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. Burst Mode You can fire off up to 3 shots at Approx.0.9 second intervals (at any resolution: VGA to full resolution mode) -- a great way to capture a childs first steps or a pets best tricks. 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, Soft Snap, Snow, High Sensitivity, and Beach environments. Face Detection Face Detection technology automatically controls focus and exposure to help reveal faces in shadows, make skin tones look more natural, reduce red-eye, and eliminates harsh facial glare. High Sensitivity (ISO 1250) Mode For sharp, flash-free photos without blur, high sensitivity (ISO 1250) allows shooting at higher shutter speeds for better pictures in low-light conditions -great for birthday parties, indoor gatherings, and candid portraits. Picture Motion Browser Software Supplied software makes it easier to upload, organize, and search photos on your PC. When shooting photos using your camera and an optional GPS unit, the software even provides a convenient map view function that lets you sort photos by location and display their origin on a world map9. QVGA Movie Mode Capture 320 x 240 audio/video clips at high frame rate (up to 30 frames per second7 ). The maximum length of time you can shoot continuously is about 10 minutes. Smart Zoom Feature5 The Sony Smart Zoom feature 5 intelligently crops into the central portion of interest in your photo, helping avoid the image degradation of other digital zooms. 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

Notes on using your camera
[ Internal memory and Memory Stick Duo back up
Do not turn off the camera, remove the battery pack, or remove the Memory Stick Duo while the access lamp is lit. Otherwise, the internal memory data or Memory Stick Duo may be damaged. Be sure to make a backup copy to protect your data.
[ Notes on the LCD screen and lens
The LCD screen is manufactured using extremely high-precision technology, so over 99.99% of the pixels are operational for effective use. However, some tiny black and/or bright dots (white, red, blue or green) may appear on the LCD screen. These dots are a normal result of the manufacturing process, and do not affect the recording. When the battery level becomes low, the lens might stop moving. Insert a charged battery pack and turn on the camera again.
[ Notes on recording/playback
Before you start recording, make a trial recording to make sure that the camera is working correctly. The camera is neither dust-proof, nor splashproof, nor water-proof. Read Precautions (page 31) before operating the camera. Avoid exposing the camera to water. If water enters inside the camera, a malfunction may occur. In some cases, the camera cannot be repaired. Do not aim the camera at the sun or other bright light. It may cause the malfunction of the camera. Do not use the camera near a location that generates strong radio waves or emits radiation. Otherwise, the camera may not properly record or play back images. Using the camera in sandy or dusty locations may cause malfunctions. If moisture condensation occurs, remove it before using the camera (page 31). Do not shake or strike the camera. It may cause a malfunction and you may not be able to record images. Furthermore, the recording media may become unusable or image data may be damaged. Clean the flash surface before use. The heat of flash emission may cause dirt on the flash surface to become discolored or to stick to the flash surface, resulting in insufficient light emission.

[ On image data compatibility
The camera conforms with DCF (Design rule for Camera File system) universal standard established by JEITA (Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association). Sony does not guarantee that the camera will play back images recorded or edited with other equipment, or that other equipment will play back images recorded with the camera.

[ On moisture condensation
If the camera is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, moisture may condense inside or outside the camera. This moisture condensation may cause a malfunction of the camera. If moisture condensation occurs Turn off the camera and wait about an hour for the moisture to evaporate. Note that if you shoot with moisture remaining inside the lens, images will not be clear.

[ On carrying

Do not sit down in a chair or other place with the camera in the back pocket of your trousers or skirt, as this may cause malfunction or damage the camera.
[ On the internal rechargeable backup battery
This camera has an internal rechargeable battery for maintaining the date and time and other settings regardless of whether the power is on or off. This rechargeable battery is continually charged as long as you are using the camera. However, if you use the camera for only short periods, it discharges gradually, and if you do not use the camera at all for about one month it becomes completely discharged. In this case, be sure to charge this rechargeable battery before using the camera. However, even if this rechargeable battery is not charged, you can still use the camera, but the date and time will not be indicated. Charging method of the internal rechargeable backup battery Insert charged battery pack in the camera, and then leave the camera for 24 hours or more with the power off.

[ On cleaning

Cleaning the LCD screen Wipe the screen surface with an LCD cleaning kit (not supplied) to remove fingerprints, dust, etc. Cleaning the lens Wipe the lens with a soft cloth to remove fingerprints, dust, etc. Cleaning the camera surface Clean the camera surface with a soft cloth slightly moistened with water, then wipe the surface with a dry cloth.
