Cyber-shot DSC-N2 Digital Camera

Model number: DSC-N2
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Your pictures and your camera are ultra-stylish and ultra-perfect with the Cyber-shot® DSC-N2. It keeps it small while the huge LCD display with touchscreen makes viewing your pictures effortless and fun.

ADDITIONAL IMAGES:

10.1 MP Super HAD™ CCD

Over 10 million pixels provide incredible high-resolution detail and definition for making big prints and cropping in on your subject -- and the advanced Sony 1/1.7” Super HAD™ (Hole Accumulated Diode) CCD design allows more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise.

Carl Zeiss® Vario-Tessar® 3X Optical/2X Digital Zoom

With precision lens design and 3X Optical zoom, you can capture dramatic long-shots and frame images for better composition -- and the precision Sony 2X Digital zoom function lets you enlarge image areas without jagged edges.

Slide Show with Music Playback1

The DSC-N2 lets you combine images in Slide Show sequence, pick your favorites and delete unwanted shots, add up to 4 of your own music tracks and use any of 4 transition effects (simple, nostalgic, stylish or active) to make your show more entertaining.

25 MB Internal Memory

You can capture images in-camera, without using a flash memory card -- or use optional Memory Stick Duo™ media for ultra-compact, high-capacity shooting and recording.

Picture Motion Browser Software

Supplied software makes it easier to upload, organize and search photos on your PC -- and provides a convenient map view function to sort photos by location and display their origin on a world map by using an optional GPS unit.

PictBridge™ Compatibility

Wider D-Range

Some compact digital cameras “wash out” color in brightly lit areas -- but the Sony DSC-N2 controls the light level received by its CCD imager to reduce washout and improve color reproduction.

Pocket Album Function

You can store and share up to 500 photo images at VGA resolution -- and manage your album photos using simple touch-screen images to select favorites, delete shots, search your photo archive by date or year.

Free Spot AF

In addition to normal autofocus mode, the DSC-N2 lets you focus on a subject by just touching it on your LCD screen -- a fast and simple way to adjust focus for complex scenes or moving subjects.

Stamina® Battery Power

A high-stamina NP-BG1 Lithium Ion battery lets the DSC-N2 shoot up to 300 images3, giving you plenty of power when traveling or shooting on location.

3:2 Aspect Ratio Mode Adjustable

Higher Sensitivity

Sometimes flash can change the mood -- so the DSC-N2 features higher sensitivity (ISO 1600) for excellent low-light shots at higher shutter speed and for capturing images in museums or religious sites where flash may not be permitted.

3.0”2 Clear Photo LCD Plus™ Screen

This huge screen makes it easier to read camera menus, compose shots and share results. The Sony Clear Photo LCD Plus™ design reduces reflection from the LCD surface for excellent visibility outdoors -- and wide-angle viewing lets you entertain a crowd with Slide Show and pocket album functions.

Touch-Screen Operation

Convenient touch-screen operation of many camera functions replaces small, hard-to-read buttons -- so it’s easy to adjust camera setup and catch quick candid shots in the field.

High-Quality Video Clips

In MPEG VX Fine Mode, the DSC-N2 captures VGA (640 x 480) audio/video clips at high frame rate of up to 30 frames per second4 -- with length limited only by the capacity of your media. Video Mail Mode lets you capture smaller file sizes suitable for e-mail.

Paint Function

You can stamp graphics and trace drawings or letters on your photos -- and decorated images are saved as separate VGA-size files so your originals won’t be affected.
