10X Zoom in a Sleek Compact Body
Sony radically redesigned the
positioning of key camera components
to fit a powerful 10X Optical zoom
capability into a compact design
that
’s easy to carry anywhere. The grip
fits firmly into your hand, the lens ring
adds a high-
performance feel
--
and the
top-mounted Wheel Dial lets you adjust
shooting modes faster.
High-Power Carl Zeiss® 10X Optical
Zoom
A superb lens for bringing long-
distance
subjects up close, the pro
-quality Carl
Zeiss
® Vario-
Tessar® lens design of the
DSC-H3 provides 10X Optical zoom
design -- with 20X Digital zoom to
enlarge the center portion of the picture
so you see even more detail.
8.1 MP Super HAD
™ CCD
More megapixels give you more detail
and definition for editing, cropping,
and making large digital prints. Sony’
s
advanced Super HAD™ (Hole
Accumulated Diode) CCD design
allows more light to pass to each pixel,
increasing sensitivity and reducing
noise.
Advanced Sports Mode
To capture fast
-moving subjects in splitsecond detail, the DSC-H3 combines
high shutter speed (up to 1/2000 sec.)
with Continuous AF and predictive
focus control that tracks moving
subjects and forecasts their position
during the interval between shutter
release and image capture -- a great
way to catch the perfect moment in
sports, children’s games, pet tricks and
more
Face Detection
Because the face makes the photo,
Sony has created Face Detection
technology that recognizes up to 8
faces in a photo and automatically
controls focus, exposure, color and
flash to bring out the best in everyone.
Unlike some competitive systems, Sony
Face Detection makes skin tones look
more natural and reduces red
-eye with
pre
-strobe flash.
HD Output
With direct HD output
to spectacular
Sony Bravia® and other compatible
HDTV screens, you can view DSC-H3 still
photos in high definition clarity and
detail. Optional HD solutions include a
Cyber-shot cradle/charger with
component cable output and highspeed Photo Printers that make 4”
x 6
”
prints in about 45 seconds.
(Cradle/charger and printer sold
separately)

Powerful, Versatile Flash
With flash powerful enough to
illuminate subjects up to 23 feet away,
the DSC-H3 opens up new opportunities
for flash photography -- including
dimly lit interiors and outdoor shots at
twilight. Auto Daylight Synchro
provides effective fill-in flash
illumination for backlit subjects -- and
Macro Flash lets you take ultra-close-
up
shots with optimal exposure and
minimal “whiteout”
effect.
Super SteadyShot® Optical Image
Stabilization
Other image stabilization systems crop
in to compensate for “camera shake” -but with the Super SteadyShot® system,
optical sensors detect camera
movement and send correcting signals
to a stabilization lens that allows even
ultra-long-distance digital photos to
capture more detail with less camera
shake distortion.
High Sensitivity Mode
With Super SteadyShot® image
stabilization to minimize blur, High
Sensitivity Mode (ISO 3200) lets the
DSC-H3 shoot effectively in low light
without flash to preserve the mood -and Sony’s original Clear RAW™
NR
(Noise Reduction) image processing
technology helps suppress the color
noise that can accompany highsensitivity shooting.
HD Slide Show with Music
It’
s the high
-definition viewing
experience that makes photos come
alive on compatible HDTV screens,
accompanied by your choice of visual
effects and any of four preset musical
selections stored in memory or your
favorite MP3 tunes downloaded from
PC to your camera for use as
background music .

9-Point Auto Focus
Because an off-center subject can make
your shot more interesting, the DSC-H3
can measure auto
-focus precision at 9
points on your screen
-- giving you
greater creative freedom to compose
your image.
D-Range Optimization
Powered by the exclusive Sony Bionz™
high-
speed processing engine, D-Range
Optimization preserves image data in
bright highlights and reveals more
detail in shadows or backlit areas -- for
great results even in difficult lighting
conditions.
In-Camera Retouching
The DSC-H3 lets you add creative effects
to photos after you shoot -- including
soft edge filter to soften backgrounds,
cross filter to place starry “dazzles” at
highlight points, partial color filter to
mute surrounding colors, even fish-eye
filter to create interesting fish-eye lens
effects.
In
-Camera Red-
Eye Reduction
Irritating “glowing eyes”
can ruin even
the most creative photos -- so the DSCH3 gives you in-camera correction at
the touch of a button to reduce
lingering red-
eye effect that other
systems might miss.
2.5”LCD Screen, Simple Controls
The DSC-H3 provides a large, bright
LCD screen
-- plus simple camera
menus, a Home button for quick access
to necessary functions, and a simple
Function Guide that displays menu
information to make it easier for
beginners to learn camera features.
