Sony MVC-CD400 Marketing Specifications

➤

1/1.8" 4.0 MegaPixel Effective Super HAD™ CCD, 4.1 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.

➤

Carl Zeiss®Vario Sonnar Lens

Famous for its superior

sharpness and color

accuracy, the Vario Sonnar 3X Optical zoom lens features a unique coating to resist chromatic aberration. Its fast f2.0 maximum aperture is great for available light shooting.

➤

5 Area Multi-Point Auto Focus

By evaluating separate focus

areas of the frame, Sony’s

Multi-point AF system intelligently focuses on the subject. Five manually selectable points allow creative control of the focusing system.

➤

Hologram AF

Projecting a Class 1 laser

pattern, Hologram AF reads

the contrast between the pattern’s edge and the subject for most accurate focus, even in low or no light.

Multi-Pattern Measuring

Independently light-metering 49 points of the frame, Multi-

Pattern measuring establishes the optimum exposure value, even in scenes where pronounced 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 for accurate flash metering. Adjustable flash level and red-eye reduction insure great flash shots.

CD-R/RW Media

CD Mavica cameras shoot directly to 156MB CD-R/RW

discs, so there's room for hundreds of images and movie clips. The optical disc also provides “instant archiving” — there’s no need to transfer to the PC as with flash media.

➤

Manual Exposure Controls

Flexible Exposure control is provided with Aperture Priority

(f2.0-8.0), Shutter Priority (8 sec-1/1000 sec) and Manual Exposure modes. EV Compensation allows further fine tuning.

➤

Scene Selection Mode

With 4 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 and Portrait optimizes distant and near 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

14-bit Digital EXtended Processor captures the range

between highlight and shadow with up to 16,384 values, for extended dynamic contrast and detail.

Confirm Before Write Mode

Allows you to check each image before writing to disc, to avoid wasting space with mistaken shots.

Rechargeable Infolithium®Battery

Provides reliable, long-lasting power for continuous shooting, and avoids the “memory effect” common to other batteries. AC-L10 adapter/charger provides stable power for USB download.

➤

4MP (2272x1704) Image Size

With its high resolution CCD, the MVC-CD400 captures in 4 different image sizes, with selectable Fine or Standard JPEG compression and TIF mode.

➤

3 Shot Burst/AE Bracket Mode

The MVC-CD400 can capture three full resolution images in just 2 seconds, and Bracket

Exposure in 1/3, 2/3, or 1 EV increments.

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.

2.5" LCD Monitor

Extra-large LCD provides excellent viewing and

playback clarity, even outdoors. For eye-level viewing, add the optional DSAC-MVC eye-level finder.

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.

➤

Hot Shoe and ACC Terminal

Connect Sony’s HVL-F1000 flash or Remote Controls with ACC Terminal, or synchronize studio lighting with the Hot Shoe terminal.
