DSCS650 DSCS700

Even if you’re new to digital photography it’s easy to get great looking results

every time with the compact new Sony Cyber-shot™ S650 and S700 cameras.

Offering an affordable entry point to the world of Cyber-shot™ photography, both

cameras team superb imaging quality with handy features in a compact, easy to

use package that slips easily into a pocket or bag. The attractive silver finish of

the S650 is enhanced even further by the S700 that adds an extra stylish note

courtesy of its high-quality all-metal body.

Picture quality is assured thanks to the 1/2.5-inch Super HAD CCD sensor with a

resolution of 7.2 effective Mega Pixels. Distant scenes can be pulled in closer with

the bright, clear Sony 3x optical zoom lens that also offers a 6x digital zoom

capability and up to 14x smart zoom. Complementing Auto and Program modes,

a choice of seven Scene Selection modes adjusts camera settings for optimum

results under a wide range of shooting conditions. In High Sensitivity mode,

sensitivity is boosted to ISO 1000, making the S650 and S700 perfect for

capturing clearer, blur-free images indoors or in difficult low light conditions

without flash.

Dependable shooting is even surer with the Mode

Dial and Function Guide that offers an on-screen

description of each shooting mode, making it easy

to pick exactly the right mode for any subject.

Selection of flash, macro, self timer and other

settings are also confirmed with the aid of easy-to-understand on-screen icons.

As another bonus for beginners, both cameras offer guidance on how many shots

can be captured on the remaining memory as well as suggesting the most

appropriate image resolution for a preferred print paper size. For even greater

convenience there’s also a ‘Direct Play’ button that switches instantly to playback

for quick confirmation of shots. While the S650 has a 2-inch LCD screen, the

S700 makes framing and reviewing shots even more of a pleasure thanks to its

big, bright 2.4-inch LCD screen.

Despite a weight of just 130g/149g (S650/S700)2,

the Cyber-shot™ S650 and S700 are no

lightweights when it comes to shooting stamina.

Both cameras accept standard AA Alkaline

batteries (supplied in box) and up to 460 shots1

are achievable from a single charge of a stamina

NiMH battery (available as an optional extra) – making it even easier to enjoy

holidays or trips away without worrying about running out of power.

BIONZ™ Image Processing Engine - On the Advanced W, T and H Series

Sony is proud to introduce the first compact digital

still camera models which incorporate the

advanced BIONZ™ image processing engine from

the Alpha D-SLR camera into the Advanced W, T

and H series cameras in the 2007 range. The high

processing speed of BIONZ™ supports various

functions in a camera, including drastically

lowering noise level even at high sensitivity and achieving higher accuracy in

auto-focusing, exposure auto-correction and auto white balancing – giving you

enhanced colour reproduction, rich tonal graduations and an amazing clarity of

detail that captures the moment perfectly.

Face Detection Technology

High speed, high accuracy face detection and

tracking technology enabled by the BIONZ™

engine lets the camera automatically optimise

focusing, exposure, flash control and white

balance on multiple faces for perfect portraits every time.
