| | | 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. 3X Optical/2X Digital/6X 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 -14.0X Smart Zoom™ Feature 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-Tessar® Lens The Vario-Tessar lens is specially produced for very compact cameras. This specialized design allows quick auto-focus, appealing zoom range while still maintaining a compact design. Real Imaging Processor™ Technology The innovative Real Imaging Processor in the DSC-W7 not only improves picture quality and clarity but also improves camera response time, decreases shutter lag and improves battery stamina. 2.5" LCD Monitor The extra-large high-resolution 115K LCD Monitor makes framing shots and reviewing pictures easy. 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. | | 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 2-step Aperture control. AF (Auto Focus) Illuminator Briefly illuminating the subject, in low- or no-light conditions, the AF Illuminator helps establish a positive focus lock. Selectable Focus Mode Monitoring AF (Auto Focus) helps you anticipate the action by focusing even before you press the shutter release. 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: Twilight, Twilight Portrait, Soft Snap, Landscape, Beach, Snow, Candle. 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.
