➤

3X Optical/6X Precision Digital Zoom

Zoom helps you frame
your shots for better digital

pictures. Bring distant
subjects closer or pull back for wide
shots. Precision Digital zoom extends the
optical zoom range by 2X without the
jagged edges of other designs, resulting
in smooth images.

14-Bit DXP A/D Conversion

14-bit Digital Extended

Processor captures the

dynamic range between light
and dark areas of your subject, providing
an overall improvement without losing
detail (highlights and shadow).

AF (Auto Focus) Illuminator

Delivers a high level of

focusing accuracy when

shooting in low light and
no-light situations.

E-Mail Mode

Stores a low-resolution
320 x 240 file in a separate

folder from the original
image for faster Internet uploads and
downloads.

Intelligent Flash with Red-Eye Reduction

Provides the appropriate amount of flash
for optimum brightness and color accuracy
in virtually any lighting condition. The
Red-Eye Reduction system uses a series of
pre-flashes that causes the subject’s pupils
to contract, reducing the possibility of
reflection from the back of the eye that
causes the red-eye problem.

Video E-Mail Mode

Captures up to 60 seconds of 160 x 112
MPEG video for very small files that are
perfect for e-mailing to family and friends.

MPEG Movie HQ Mode

Lets you capture 5, 10 or 15
seconds of MPEG video at

320 x 240 resolution. MPEG
HQ captures full screen video at 16
frames per second for smoother, more
realistic motion. MPEG HQ also provides
improved sound quality that rivals that of
analog camcorders.

MPEG Movie EX

The MPEG Movie EX mode
allows the user to capture

MPEG files with audio, at a
resolution of 160 x 112 or 320 x 240, at
a length that is limited only by the
capacity of the Memory Stick media.

Clip Motion Mode

Animated function plays back

still images in succession in

1/2 second intervals. Clip
motion allows you to capture up to 10
frames in the GIF format and combines
them into a compact animated GIF file.
By varying time between shots you can
create a variety of entertaining animations
not possible with other motion capture
functions.

1.5" 123K Pixel LCD Viewfinder

This 1.5" LCD features a pixel count that is
usually found only in larger LCD screens.
By using 123K pixels, the LCD presents the
images in even greater detail and clarity.

2-Shot Burst Mode

Capture 2 full resolution images at 2
frames per second, with one press of the
shutter button. Great for capturing
multiple fast action shots.

TEXT Mode (GIF)

Great for taking images of
documents. Text mode

captures images (GIF) with
much smaller file size without reducing
resolution.

TIFF Mode

Digital images can be stored

in an uncompressed file

format (TIFF-Tagged Image
File Format). Images are presented with all
the color information found in the original
shot with no compression, and are perfect
for use in graphic applications.

USB Interface

Allows camera to connect to
the Universal Serial Bus
(USB) of Microsoft

®

Windows

®

& Macintosh®PCs. Simply plug in using
the supplied cable to your computers
USB port for fast, easy access to your
pictures.

Eye-Level Optical Viewfinder

Allows accurate framing and zooming
consistent with the camera’s optical zoom
at eye level, providing stability when
capturing fast moving subjects.

Playback Zoom, Trim and Resize

Manipulates the picture

inside the camera. While

playing back your images on
the camera, it allows you to edit your
images by zooming in (up to 5X) and
cropping your picture (up, down, left,
right). You can save the new image as a
separate file. Resize lets you save a copy
of an image to a smaller or larger file size.
