DSC-S85 Cyber-shot Digital Camera

Model number: DSC-S85

Shutter Priority

Manually select a shutter speed to convey a sense of motion in the picture. The camera will automatically select the proper aperture for a correct exposure. Slower shutter speeds create a "blur," while faster speeds "freeze" motion.

Voice Memo Mode

Allows you to add narration to your image during exposure. Use in presentations or slide shows to describe and demonstrate products or create "talking yearbooks."

MPEG Movie HQ MODE

Video and audio are captured directly onto CD-R/RW media. MPEG MOVIE allows you to capture MPEG video clips of any length up to 4 minutes (160 x 112) or 60 seconds (320 x 240).

1.8" 123K Pixel Precision LCD

In Camera Picture Effects

USB Interface Cable and Software Supplied

QXGA/UXGA/SXGA/VGA,3:2 UXGA Image Resolution

Utilizing a CCD imager with 4.1 million pixels, the DSC-S85 can store still images in high quality resolution (2271 x 1704); superb quality, for ideal photo quality prints and enlargements.

Carl Zeiss® Vario Sonnar 3X Optical, 6X Digital Zoom

A professional quality precision lens that uses a unique coating that reduces glare and flaring, while providing improvement in detail and contrast.

E-Mail Mode

Stores images as a 320 x 240 file in a separate folder from the original image for faster Internet uploads and downloads.

AE Bracketing

Ensures you capture the best possible exposure for your digital image. Capture 3 full resolution frames at 2 frames per second. Exposure sequence can be adjusted at ± 0.3, ± 0.7 or ± 1 exposure values.

TEXT Mode (GIF)

Great for taking images of documents. Text mode captures images (GIF) with a much smaller file size without reducing resolution.

3-Mode Program AE

Allows quick and easy setting of proper exposure, shutter and depth-of-field for a variety of shooting environments. A/E modes include: Twilight, Landscape, Portrait.

TIFF Mode

White Balance (Auto/Indoor/Outdoor/Hold)

InfoLithium® Rechargeable Battery, AC Adapter/ Charger Supplied

Memory Stick® Digital Media (4MB Included)

A flash memory system that currently holds up to 128 MB of data on a tiny, transportable unit that can be used in cameras, camcorders, computers, printers, voice recorders and Walkman® portable stereos. Memory Stick media is digital, powerful, and transportable, and available in 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB and 128MB.

3X Optical/6X Precision Digital Zoom

Zoom helps you frame your shots for better digital pictures. Bring distant subjects closer or pull back for wide shots. Precision Digital zoom extends the optical zoom range by 2X without the jagged edges of other designs, resulting in smooth images.

AF Illuminator (Auto focus illuminator)

Delivers the highest level of focusing accuracy when shooting in low light or no-light situations.

3-Shot Burst Mode

Capture 3 full resolution images at 2 frames per second, with one press of the shutter button. Great for capturing multiple fast action shots.

Manual Mode

The ability to set the aperture and shutter speeds manually. Just like traditional cameras, you can override the camera's "auto metering system," allowing for complete flexibility and control of your digital imagination.

Accessory Terminal

Adds that professional touch with a separate optional external flash (HVL-F1000L) or connect to Sony's new series of tripods for controls from the handle.

Clip Motion Mode

Animated function plays back still images in succession in 1/2 second intervals. Clip motion allows you to capture up to 10 frames in the GIF format and combines them into a compact animated GIF file. By varying time between shots you can create a variety of entertaining animations.

Playback Zoom, Trim and Resize

Date/Time Digital Superimpose

Aperture Priority

Manually select an aperture setting and the camera selects the proper shutter speed for a correct exposure. Aperture may be used to control the depth of field, allowing for a more interpretive control of the image.

1/1.8" 4.0 Million Pixel Effective Super HAD™ CCD, 4.1 Million Pixel Gross

Provides high resolution for excellent image quality shot after shot. HAD allows more light to enter the imager, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise.

14-BIT DXP A/D Conversion

Converts the signals from the CCD to a digital value. 14-bit Digital Extended Processor (DXP) A/D conversion provides 4-times greater dynamic range than traditional 12-bit systems, preserving more highlight and shadow detail in the captured image.

Intelligent Flash with Red-Eye Reduction

Intelligent flash evaluates the scene to determine the appropriate flash level and proper exposure. Choice of auto, forced-on or forced-off modes as well as variable output level provides extensive control. With a series of pre-flashes before exposure, the "red-eye" reduction system helps eliminate reflection from the back of subject's eyes, and can be selected in any flash mode.
