The new Sony Ericsson K790 Cyber-shot® phone – seeing is believing

Sony Ericsson has teamed up with Cyber-shot®, one of the most elite
names in digital photography. The K790 represents the next generation of
camera phones. It has all the intuitive features and easy navigation you’ve
come to expect from a Sony Ericsson phone. But as a camera, it provides a

stunning 3.2 megapixels with autofocus, built-in Xenon ash and BestPic™

technology. All these remarkable features mean you only need one digital
camera – the one on your phone.

The Sony Ericsson

K790 brings camera

quality to a mobile

phone so you never

miss a shot

Digital camera quality on your phone

Images you shoot with the K790 produce enough
quality to print out at 8 x 10 size and then frame, or
use as high-quality backgrounds on your PC. The

3.2 megapixels provides high resolution, and the
autofocus lets you capture clarity without thinking.

Capture people in their best light

Don’t miss out on photo opportunities at night or in

poor light. The K790 has a true Xenon ash just like

a real camera. Combined with red eye reduction,
your photos can come out looking great, even in
the dark.

Find your best shot

With BestPic™ technology, the K790 starts

snapping as your nger touches the button, and

by the time you fully press, it’s already taken four
shots. Then it takes another four afterwards giving
you a total of nine shots to choose from. Select the
ones you like and throw the rest away.

Printing your photos with ease

For printing, you can simply connect the phone
directly to a PictBridge™-compliant printer via the
included USB cable or connect wirelessly using
Bluetooth® technology.

Selling Tips

Cyber-shot™ Camera Quality

Have a few pictures shot with K790 made into 8 x 10
prints. Have the prints on hand in your store to show your
customers the resolution capability of K790. To preserve
your showroom 8 x 10’s, you might want to laminate them.
After explaining autofocus, put the K790 in your
customer’s hand and let them try it for themselves.

BestPic

™

BestPic

Pick the best, delete the rest.

Ask your customer if they have children or pets. People
especially love talking about their children. It’s a natural
lead-in to talking about the BestPic™ feature.

™

Xenon Flash

Light your way!

Hold up another camera phone and turn on the camera
light. Then hold the K790 up and take a photo using the

ash. Though your store may be too brightly lit to show a

difference in the picture, your customer will still be able to
see the different quality of light coming from the
two products.

Image Stabilizer

Stay focused while on the move!

Switch the camera to video mode and zoom in on a far
away object through the store window. Show customers
the phone screen and demonstrate how stable the image
is compared to a typical camera phone. Also be sure to
mention that image stabilization feature works in the
regular camera mode, and might be good for taking
photos while moving, or in a car.

PictBridge

Pictures worth saving are pictures worth printing.

Ask your customer how they usually print photos.
Chances are that their current method, whether done from
PC, photo lab, or online service, is more complicated than
PictBridge™ with K790. Perhaps your store will want to
invest in an inexpensive PictBridge™-capable photo printer.
After all, a picture is worth a thousand words.

How to use Autofocus

Frame your subject and press and hold
the camera key half-way down. You will
see the white framing square appear

square changes color to green, press
the camera key all the way down and
take the shot.

How to activate BestPic

How to use PictBridge
