Sony DSC-P7 User Manual

➤

1/1.8" 3.2 MegaPixel Effective Super HAD™ CCD, 3.3 MP Gross

Super HAD (Hole Accumulation Diode) CCDs

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

➤

Ultra Compact Design

Slim and sleek, the DSC-P7 is small enough to fit most any pocket or purse. Even so, its optimized proportions and well placed controls make it easy to use.

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

3X Optical zoom helps you

frame your shots for better

digital pictures. And Sony’s Precision Digital zoom provides an additional 2X magnification without the jagged edges of other designs, resulting in smoother images.

3 Area Multi-Point Auto Focus

By evaluating 3 separate

focus areas of the frame,

Sony’s Multi-point AF system can intelligently focus on the subject and avoid focusing on the background.

AF (Auto Focus) Illuminator

Briefly illuminating the subject in low- or no-light conditions, AF Illuminator

helps establish a positive focus lock.

Multi-Pattern Measuring

Independently light-metering

49 points of the frame,

Multi-Pattern measuring establishes the optimum exposure value, even in scenes where highlight and shadow are not centered in the frame.

Pre-Flash Metering

With a momentary pre-flash, the camera illuminates the subject and calculates exposure through the lens directly from the CCD. Adjustable flash level and redeye reduction insure great flash shots.

Memory Stick®Media

Digital. Powerful. Transportable. Memory Stick media is

compact, portable and rugged—connecting a variety of hardware and software applications.

Scene Selection Mode

With 3 Scene Modes, camera

parameters can be matched

to the shooting conditions. Twilight slows the shutter to as long as 2 seconds for available light, Twilight Portrait adds flash to illuminate foreground subjects, and Landscape optimizes distant focus.

Slow Shutter Noise Reduction

During long Twilight mode

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.

14-Bit DXP A/D Conversion

Sony's 14-bit Digital

Xtended Processor captures

the range between highlight and shadow with up to 16384 values, for extended dynamic contrast and detail.

1.5" LCD Monitor

Monitors the scene for accurate framing. 123K pixel and anti-glare coating help provide excellent viewing and image playback clarity, even outdoors.

Auto Bright Monitoring

To help framing in low- or no-light situations, CCD gain is briefly increased to provide an extra bright display on the LCD viewfinder just before exposure.

True Zoom Optical Viewfinder

Provides accurate framing at eye level, great for added stability and following fast moving subjects.

➤

3.2MP (2048 x 1536) Image Size

With its high resolution CCD, the DSC-P7 captures in 4 different image sizes, with selectable Fine or Standard JPEG compression.

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 or 1/15 or 1/30 second frame intervals provide convenient motion analysis.

➤

MPEG Movie HQX Mode

Captures full frame playback,

high frame rate (16 frames

per second) audio/video clips with length limited only by the capacity of the media. MPEG Movie Video Mail and Presentation modes capture smaller sizes suitable for email.

Clip Motion Mode

Capture up to 10 images and convert them to an

animated GIF with 2 frames per second playback. By varying the interval between shots you can create animations not possible with other motion capture modes.

Playback Zoom, Trim and Resize

During playback, magnify any portion of the image up to 5x and trim to the area of your interest. Then, save the new image as a new file in any of the image sizes available from the menu.

➤

Rechargeable Infolithium®Battery

Provides reliable, long-lasting power for continuous shooting, and avoids the “memory effect” common to other batteries. AC-LS1 adapter/charger provides stable power for USB download.
