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.

4X Optical/2X Digital/8X 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 –19.0X 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-Sonnar®Lens

Famous for sharpness & color accuracy, the Vario-Sonnar 4X

Optical zoom lens features 8

elements in 7 groups with aspheric elements.

Real Imaging Processor™ Technology

The innovative Real Imaging Processor in the DSC-V3 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.

2.5" LCD Monitor

The extra-large high-resolution 123K LCD Monitor makes framing shots and reviewing pictures easy.

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 Aperture control (F2.8 - F8.0).

Hologram AF™ Illuminator

Projecting a Class 1 laser pattern Hologram AF illuminator reads the

contrast between the pattern’s edge and the subject for precise focuses, even in low or no light situations.

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 7 Scene Modes, parameters

can be matched to the shooting

conditions. Choose from one of

the following; Beach, Candle, Landscape, Portrait, Snow, Twilight, Twilight Portrait

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.

Memory Stick®Media and Memory Stick PRO™ Media

Digital. Powerful. Transportable.™ Memory Stick

media is compact,

portable and rugged – connecting

a variety of hardware and software applications.

Dual Media

The DSC-V3 is capable of using not only Memory Stick

media and

Memory Stick PRO™ media when capturing images, but also optional CompactFlash

Type I media. This offers added flexibility and storage options when taking pictures.

Raw Mode

Capture raw data directly from the CCD before any in-camera

processing, while a separate JPEG is stored for viewing convenience. Sony's RAW converter software provides extensive control of gamma, white balance, color and sharpness for fine tuning the image

8 Shot Burst Mode

Capture up to 8 shots at full

resolution at 2 frames/sec.

Perfect for high speed subjects or fast moving action such as sports

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-VHA 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.

Rechargeable InfoLithium®Battery

Provides reliable, long-lasting

power for continuous shooting,

without “Memory Effect”. The

supplied AC-LS5 adapter/charger provides stable power for USB Transfer.
