DSC-H5
Cyber
-shot®
Digital Still Camera
Capture Closer, Steadier Images. Sony’s Cyber-shot® DSC-H5 combines 7.2 megapixel detail, Carl Zeiss® 12X
Optical zoom and Super SteadyShot® Optical Image Stabilization for sharp, steady closeups of distant subjects.
High Sensitivity Mode (ISO 1000) allows low-light shooting -- and a giant 3.0” LCD screen with Function Guide makes
operation easy.

Step-up
New
7.2 Megapixel Super HAD™
CCD
Higher megapixels gives you more
detail and definition for large
prints and cropping in on your
subject. Sony’s advanced Super
HAD (Hole Accumulated Diode)
CCD design allows more light to
pass to each pixel, increasing
sensitivity and reducing noise.
Carl Zeiss® 12X Optical/2X
Digital Zoom/24X Total Zoom
12X Optical Zoom helps the DSC
H5 bring distant subjects closer
and lets you frame shots for better
composition; Sony’s precision 2X
Digital Zoom provides an
additional 2X magnification to
zoom in close without jagged
edges.
57X Smart Zoom™ Feature
Sony's Smart Zoom feature lets
you magnify your subject beyond
the 12x optical zoom - to 14x
(5MP), 18x (3MP), even 57x
(VGA). By intelligently cropping
into the central portion of the
scene, it avoids the image
distortion of other digital zooms.

Super SteadyShot® Optical
Image Stabilization
Super SteadyShot® Optical Image
Stabilization fights motion blur,
even during longer exposures at
full zoom.
Flexible Exposure Modes
Choose Auto or Program Auto
for convenience, or get creative
with Aperture Priority or Shutter
Priority modes. Manual Exposure
Mode provides extended control
with 46-step adjustable Shutter
speed (30 - 1/1000 sec.), and
Aperture control (F2.8 - F8.0).
Large 3.0” Clear Photo LCD
Plus Screen
The DSC-H5 has a bright 3.0”
screen with Sony’s Clear Photo
LCD Plus technology for bright
high contrast viewing -- with a
one touch “
Play” button that
makes it quick and easy to view
your photos.

Simple Controls, Function
Guide
User-friendly controls and simple
on-screen Function Guide
text/icon display help you set up
camera functions --
and you’ll
have greater creative freedom
to adjust color mode (including
“
Natural” for subtle colors and
“
Rich” for more intense colors),
sensitivity, brightness and
image size.
High Sensitivity Mode
A new High Sensitivity Mode (ISO
1000) allows you to shoot with
great results in low-light
conditions --
and Sony’s original
Clear RAW NR™ (Noise
Reduction) image processing
technology helps suppress the
color noise that can accompany
high-sensitivity shooting.
Stamina® Battery Power
With its powerful Nickel Metal
Hydride (NiMH) rechargeable
batteries, the DSC-H5 can capture
up to 340 images per charge -enough for a week of shooting.
The compact BC-CS2 Battery
Charger is also supplied for
battery recharging on the go.

printer.
