Sony DSC-P8 Marketing Specifications

1/2.7" 3.2 Megapixel Effective Super HAD™ CCD

Super HAD (Hole Accumulation Diode) CCD’s

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

➤

Ultra Compact Design

The DSC-P8's sleek metal body is small enough for most any pocket or purse, and easy to use with well placed controls.

3X Optical Zoom Lens

To help frame your shots for better digital pictures. Optical Zoom helps you bring distant

subjects closer & pull back for wide shots

0 - 3.2 Smart Zoom (at VGA size)

Smart Zoom 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.

3 Area Multi-Point Auto Focus

Evaluating 3 separate focus

areas of the frame, Multi-Point

AF can intelligently focus on the subject and avoid mistakenly 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.

➤

Continuous Auto Focus

To maintain accurate focus lock with fast moving subjects, Continuous AF keeps focusing

until the moment of exposure.

Multi-Pattern Measuring

Independently light-metering 49

points of the frame, Multi-Pattern

Measuring establishes the optimum exposure value, even when highlight or shadow isn't centered in the frame.

Memory Stick®Media

Digital. Powerful.Transportable.™ Memory Stick media is compact,

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

Slow Shutter Noise Reduction

During long exposures, Slow

Shutter NR captures the

scene, and then a separate exposure of just the CCD noise pattern. By subtracting the two, the noise which often distorts long exposures is reduced.

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.

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.

True Zoom Optical Viewfinder

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

Pre-Flash Metering

With a momentary pre-flash, the camera illuminates the subject and sets exposure through the lens for great flash shots.

Auto Daylight Synchro Fill Flash

When the Multi-Pattern Measuring system determines the subject is backlit or in shadow, fill flash automatically fires to provide optimum exposure.

➤

Live Histogram Display

Available for capture and playback, the live histogram displays number of pixels at each luminosity making it easy to evaluate correct exposure.

QXGA (2048 x 1536) Image Size

With its high resolution CCD, the DSC-P8 captures in 4 different image sizes, with Fine or Standard JPEG compression.

Scene Selection Mode

With 7 Scene Modes, camera parameters can be matched

to the shooting conditions. Twilight, Twilight Portrait, Landscape, Snow, Beach, Fast Shutter and Fireworks presets make great shots easy!

Multi-Burst Mode

Captures 16 320x240 frames

as part of a single 1280x960

image which plays back sequentially in the camera. Selectable 1/7.5, 1/15, 1/30 second frame intervals provide convenient motion analysis.

MPEG Movie VX Mode

Captures VGA (640x 480) high frame rate (16 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.

Clip Motion Mode

Capture up to 10 images and convert them to an animated

GIF with 2 fps 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, without "memory effect". AC-LS5 adaptor/charger provides stable power for USB transfer.
