Digital Still Camera

The Sony® Cyber-shot® DSC-W230 combines point-and-shoot ease-of-use with advanced features in a sophisticated, compact design. Intelligent Scene Recognition (iSCN) can recognize five different scene conditions and automatically adjust camera settings, and Face Detection technology detects up to eight faces and captures them naturally. In addition, Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilization helps to reduce blur for crisp, clear images.

12.1 Megapixel Super HAD™ CCD Image Sensor:

A powerful 12.1 megapixel 1/2.3”

Super HAD™ CCD image sensor helps you capture gorgeous images with superb contrast and clarity down to the finest detail. With 12.1 megapixels, you can create stunning, photo

-quality prints up to A3+ (13x9”) size, or crop your images and still come away with high resolution shots.

Carl Zeiss

® Vario-

Tessar® Lens with 4x

Optical Zoom:

The professional-quality Carl Zeiss® Vario-

Tessar

® 4x optical zoom lens brings distant subjects closer for great outdoor, sports, and travel photos.

30mm wide angle lens:

A wide angle lens (30mm-120mm) shows more of the scene you're shooting, helping you capture more complete images when shooting indoor group portraits, expansive landscapes, or architectural scenes.

3.0" Clear Photo LCD™ display (230k pixels):

Generous 3.0

” (230K pixels) Clear Photo LCD™ display features sharp, natural color that makes it easy to compose shots, read menus, and view photos, even in bright sunlight.

BIONZ

™ image processor:

The BIONZ

™ image processor delivers the high resolution and fast performance you expect from a Sony® digital camera.

Auto Mode:

Auto Mode automatically adjusts exposure and white balance settings for better pictures, and can be enhanced further with a simple change in the settings menu. When Intelligent Scene Recognition (iSCN) and Face Detection are activated in Auto Mode, the camera goes a step further, automatically adjusting to scene conditions and capturing faces naturally. Whether you

’re shooting landscapes, capturing playground action, or taking pictures at a birthday party or wedding shower, the intuitive Auto Mode will optimize your camera’

s settings to help ensure you come away with a great shot.

Intelligent Scene Recognition:

Intelligent Scene Recognition (iSCN) Mode automatically detects five different types of scenes conditions (Backlight, Backlight Portrait, Twilight, Twilight Portrait, and Twilight using a Tripod ) and within 1/30th of a second selects the appropriate camera settings:. iSCN has 2 modes: Auto and Advanced. In Auto Mode, the camera takes a single shot using the optimal settings. In Advance Mode, the camera takes a photo with the standard automatic settings and, in difficult lighting (low light or back light) immediately takes a second photo with optimized setting so you can chose which to keep.

Face Detection technology:

Face Detection technology detects up to eight individual faces and controls flash, focus, exposure, and white balance to deliver accurate, natural skin tones with reduced red

-eye for beautiful images of family and friends. Face Detection technology can even distinguish between children and adults, so you can prioritize the camera’

s focus on children in the scene for clear images of their memorable moments.

Smile Shutter

™ technology:

The popular Smile Shutter™ technology automatically detects and captures a smiling face. Simply activate by pressing the Smile Shutter button and the camera will capture a smile the moment it happens. You can also select subject priority (Adult or Child Priority or touch subject on screen) and indicate the degree of Smile Detection Sensitivity to high (small smile), medium (laugh) or low (grin). Smile Shutter also makes a great substitute for the self timer. Just smile once everyone is ready, and the camera will automatically capture the shot.

Double Anti-blur Solution:

The combination of Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilization and High ISO sensitivity helps compensate for shaky hands, minimizes blur, and allows flash-

free shooting to preserve

the mood.
