Sony DSC-U30 Marketing Specifications

1/2.7" 2.0 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.

Fast Start-up (0.9 sec.) with Convenient Sliding Lens Cover

Lets you capture your

precious memories at the

speed of life, rather than miss “The” shot, waiting for your camera to start up.

Pre-Flash Metering

With a momentary pre-flash, the camera illuminates the subject and calculates exposure through the lens directly from the CCD for accurate flash metering. Adjustable flash level and red-eye 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.

Red-Eye Reduction

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.

Scene Selection Mode

With 5 Scene Modes (Soft Snap, Illumination Snap,

Twilight, Active Outdoor and Vivid Nature), the camera parameters are changed to match the shooting conditions.

12-Bit DXP A/D Conversion

Sony’s 12-bit Digital E

Xtended Processor captures

the range between highlight and shadow with up to 4096 values, for extended dynamic contrast and detail.

1.0" Reflective LCD Monitor

Monitors the scene for accurate framing. The Reflective LCD absorbs and reflects the ambient light through the LCD to improve brightness in sunlight.

Auto Bright Monitoring

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

Selectable Picture Size

Select 640 x 480 (VGA) picture size for on-screen viewing and email applications, or 1632x 1224 (UXGA) picture size great for photo quality 5" x 7" prints.

VGA Burst Mode

Captures five (5) 640 x 480 frames, which allows for the ability to capture fast moving objects in separate files for viewing at a later date.

MPEG Movie Mode (No Audio)

Capture up to 15 seconds of

160 x 112 MPEG1 video for

very small files that are perfect for emailing to family and friends.

Playback Zoom

During playback, zoom

either 2.5X or 5.0X on the

image; then save the new image as a new file.

media, to
