Cyber-shot Digital Camera

Model number:

DSC-P52

ADDITIONAL IMAGES:

1/2.7" 3.2 Megapixel Effective Super HAD™ CCD

Super HAD (Hole Accumulation Diode) CCD's provide excellent image quality by allowing more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise.

3 Area Multi-Point Auto Focus

Evaluating 3 separate focus areas of the frame, Multi-Point AF can intelligently focus on the subject and avoid undesired focus on the background.

Auto Daylight Synchro Fill-Flash

If the Multi-Pattern Measuring system determines the subject is backlit or in shadow, fill flash automatically engages to provide optimum exposure.

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.

True Zoom Optical Viewfinder

Provides accurate framing at eye level, great for added stability and following fast moving subjects.

Multi-Burst Mode

Captures 16 320x240 frames, as part of a single 1280x960 image which plays back sequentially in the camera. Selectable 1/7.5, 1/15, 1/30 second frame intervals provide convenient motion analysis.

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.

Clear Color/Clear Luminance NR

Video Output (PAL/NTSC Selectable)

Up to 3.2X Smart Zoom (at VGA Size)

Smart Zoom 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.

Multi-Pattern Measuring

Independently light-metering 49 points of the frame, Multi- Pattern Measuring establishes the optimum exposure, even in scenes where pronounced highlight and shadow areas exist in various portions of the frame.

Scene Selection Mode

With 5 Scene Modes, camera parameters can be matched to the shooting conditions. Twilight, Twilight Portrait, Landscape, Snow and Beach presets make it easy to optimize difficult shooting environments.

1.6" LCD Monitor

Monitors the scene for accurate framing. 61K pixel and anti-glare coating help provide excellent viewing and image playback clarity, even outdoors.

QXGA (2048 x 1536) Image Size

With its high resolution CCD, the DSC-P32 records in 4 different image sizes, with selectable Fine or Standard JPEG compression.

Clip Motion Mode

Capture up to 10 images and convert them to an animated GIF with 2 fps playback. By varying the interval between shots you can create animations not possible with other motion capture modes.

2 Shot Burst Mode

3:2 Aspect Ratio Mode

5 Step Manual Preset Focus

2X Optical Zoom Lens

To help frame your shots for better digital pictures. Optical Zoom helps you bring distant subjects closer & pull back for wide shots.

AF (Auto Focus) Illuminator

Briefly illuminating the subject in low or no-light conditions, AF Illuminator helps establish a positive focus lock.

Memory Stick® Media

Digital. Powerful. Transportable™. Memory Stick media is compact, portable and rugged connecting a variety of hardware and software applications.

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.

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 redeye reduction ensure great flash shots.

MPEG Movie VX Mode

Captures VGA (640 x 480) high frame rate (16 frames per second) audio/video clips with length limited only by the capacity of the media. Video Mail mode captures smaller file sizes suitable for email.

Rechargeable NiMH Batteries

Long-lasting power is provided by 2100 mAh rated Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) Stamina® batteries with BC-CS2 external charger. Or, choose "AA" Alkaline cells or optional AC adaptor.
