Higher megapixels gives you more detail and definition for making large prints and cropping in on your subject. Sony’s advanced Super HAD (Hole Accumulated Diode) CCD design allows more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise.
A new High Sensitivity Mode (ISO 1000) allows you to shoot with great results in low-light conditions -- and Sony’s original Clear RAW™ NR (Noise Reduction) image processing technology helps suppress the color noise that can accompany high-senstivity shooting.
At VGA resolution4, Sony’s Smart Zoom® feature intelligently “crops into” the central portion of interest in your photo without sacrificing full CCD resolution -- avoiding the image degradation of other digital zooms.
The DSC-W50 can capture VGA (640 x 480) audio/video clips at high frame rate (up to 30 frames per second), with length limited only by the capacity of your media.
User-friendly controls and simple on-screen Function Guide text/icon display help you set up camera functions for terrific shots -- and you’ll have greater creative freedom to adjust color mode (including “Natural” for subtle colors and “Rich” for more intense colors), sensitivity, brightness and image size.
With its powerful Lithium Ion rechargeable battery, the DSC-W50 can capture up to 390 images3 -- enough for a whole vacation. The compact BC-CSG Battery Charger is also supplied for battery recharging on the go.
The DSC-W50 has a built-in slot for optional Memory StickDuo™ or higher-capacity Memory Stick PRO Duo™ media -- the ultra-compact media for shooting, storing and sharing your photo images.
The DSC-W50 connects easily to any PictBridge™ compatible printer with the supplied USB cable, so you can print directly from your camera. You can view images and make print selections right on the camera’s LCD screen -- with simple menus for print quality, date and index print.
The DSC-W50 has a bigger, brighter 2.5”1 LCD screen for setting up and viewing images -- with a one-touch “Play” button that makes it quick and easy to view your photos.
3X Optical Zoom helps the DSC-W50 bring distant subjects closer and lets you frame shots for better composition; Sony’s precision 2X Digital Zoom provides an additional 2X magnification to enlarge details without jagged edges.
With 32 MB2 Internal Memory, the DSC-W50 allows you to shoot without a flash memory card -- then transfer your images to optional Memory StickDuo™ media, upload to your computer or make prints on your digital printer.
Sony’s new software that makes it easy to import images via camera or Memory Stick® media -- then organize and browse through photos on your PC with simple scrolling through thumbnail images.
