High-Power Carl Zeiss® 15X Optical
Zoom
A superb lens for bringing long-
distance
subjects up close, the pro
-quality Carl
Zeiss
® Vario-
Tessar® lens design of the
DSC-H7 provides 15X Optical zoom
design -- with 25X HD 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.
HD Output
Thanks to Sony, your photo album can
go high-def -- with direct HD output to
compatible HDTV screens, so you can
view DSC-H7 still photos in spectacular
high definition clarity and detail. Your
life never looked so exciting!

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.
Face Detection
By automatically controlling focus,
exposure, color and flash, this new Sony
feature reveals faces in shadow, makes
skin tones look more natural and
eliminates harsh facial glare -- to help
bring out every expression on every face
in every shot, so you’
ll capture the
personalities and emotions that make
memories come alive.
High Sensitivity Mode
With Super SteadyShot® image
stabilization to minimize blur, High
Sensitivity Mode (ISO 3200) lets the
DSC-H7 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.
Advanced Sports Mode
To capture fast
-moving subjects in splitsecond detail, the DSC-H7 provides a
Sports shooting mode that combines
high shutter speed (up to 1/4000 sec.)
that responds more quickly to rapid
motion -- a great way to catch the
perfect moment in sports, children’s
games, pet tricks and more.
Long-
Distance Flash
A powerful flash provides extra
illumination to light up subjects farther
from your camera, with precise light
control and the ability to adjust flash
for both front and rear sync when
shooting at low-
speed sync setting.
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.
9-Point Auto Focus
Because an off-center subject can make
your shot more interesting, the DSC-H7
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-H7 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 DSCH7 gives you in-camera correction at
the touch of a button to reduce
lingering red-
eye effect that other
systems might miss.
