STEP-UP FEATURE

➤

1/1.8" 7.2 Megapixel Super HAD™ CCD

Super HAD (Hole Accumulation
Diode) CCDs provide excellent

image quality by allowing more
light to pass to each pixel, increasing
sensitivity and reducing noise.

3X Optical/2X Digital/6X Total Zoom

Optical zoom helps you fill the

frame with your subject for better

pictures. And Sony’s Precision
Digital Zoom helps bring your subject closer
with an extra 2X magnification

0 –14.0X Smart Zoom™ Feature
(at VGA Resolution)

The Smart Zoom feature

intelligently uses the full CCD to let

you zoom into the portion of
interest by cropping the image size–thus
avoiding the image degradation of Digital Zooms.

Carl Zeiss®Vario-Tessar®Lens

The Vario-Tessar lens is specially
produced for very compact cameras.

This specialized design allows quick
auto-focus, appealing zoom range while still
maintaining a compact design.

Real Imaging Processor

The innovative Real Imaging
Processor in the DSC-P150 not

only improves picture quality and
clarity but also improves camera response
time, decreases shutter lag and improves
battery stamina.

Live Histogram Display

Available in capture and playback
the Live Histogram displays the

concentration of pixels at each
luminosity value making it easy to evaluate
correct exposure.

14-Bit DXP A/D Conversion

Sony’s 14-bit Digital EXtended

Processor captures the range

between highlight and shadow
with up to 16,384 values, for extended
dynamic contrast and detail.

5 Area Multi-Point Auto Focus

By evaluating 5 separate focus
areas of the frame, Sony’s

Multi-Point AF system can
intelligently focus on the subject and avoid
mistakenly focusing on the background.

Manual Exposure Mode

Manual Exposure Mode provides
extended control with 46-step
adjustable Shutter speed

(30 – 1/1000 sec.), and 2-step Aperture control.

AF (Auto Focus) Illuminator

Briefly illuminating the subject, in
low – or no– light conditions, the
AF Illuminator helps establish a

positive focus lock.

Selectable Focus Mode

Monitoring AF (Auto Focus) helps you
anticipate the action by focusing even before
you press the shutter release.

Multi-Pattern Measuring

Independently light-metering 49
points of the frame, Multi-Pattern
Measuring establishes the

optimum exposure, even when highlight and
shadow isn’t centered in the frame.

Scene Selection Mode

With 9 Scene Modes, parameters

can be matched to the shooting

conditions. Choose from one of

the following: Twilight, Twilight Portrait,
Landscape, Soft Snap, Candle, Snow, Beach,
Fireworks, or High Speed Shutter

Pre-Flash Metering

With a momentary pre-flash, the camera
illuminates the subject and sets exposure
through the lens for accurate flash metering.
Adjustable flash level and red-eye reduction
ensure great flash shots.

Slow Shutter Noise Reduction

During long exposures, Slow

Shutter NR captures the scene,

and then the CCD noise pattern

with a dark frame exposure. By subtracting the
two, even long exposures can be clear.

or up to 100 (VGA standard) at

1.1 frame/sec. even at 7 MP
resolution. Perfect for high speed subjects or
fast moving action such as sports

Multi-Burst Mode

Captures 16 320 x 240 frames as
part of a single 1280 x 960 image
which plays back sequentially in the

camera. Selectable 1/7.5, 1/15, 1/30 second.

MPEG Movie VX Standard/Fine Mode
with Audio

Captures VGA (640 x 480) high
frame rate (up to 30 frames per
second) audio/video clips with

length limited only by the capacity of the
media. Video mail mode captures smaller file
sizes suitable for email.

Conversion Lens Compatible

With VAD-PHB adaptor, you can
add tele- or wide- conversion
lenses for greater magnification

or wider field of view, as well as protective and
special effect filters.

DSC-P150’s battery easier with the optional
Cyber-shot Station™ camera dock. Just place
the camera on the cradle for instantaneous
power and computer connections.

for printing right on the camera’s LCD, with
menus for print quantity, date and index print.
