3.0” (230K dots) Clear Photo LCD™

3.0” (230K dots) Clear Photo LCD™ display features sharp, natural color that makes it easy to compose shots, read menus, and view photos, even in bright sunlight.

720p MP4 HD Movie Mode

In 720p MP4 movie mode the camera shoots 1280 x 720 high definition movies at 30 fps, a standard format when working with a PC.⁴ Users will create high quality movies with full use of optical zoom in files small enough to transfer to compatible PC or Mac^®when connected to the internet. Once transferred to a computer you can effortlessly upload your media to popular photo and video-sharing websites such as Photobucket^® and YouTube™.

Motion Detection

Motion Detection, along with Face Motion Detection adjusts ISO sensitivity and increases the shutter speed when movement is detected, reducing blur in moving subjects and faces.

Natural Flash

Conventional point-and-shoot camera flash shots just don't capture colors the way the eye sees them. Natural Flash mode takes a reference shot without flash and then uses that reference to correct the color, for far more lifelike images.

Face Detection technology

Sony’s Face Detection technology can automatically distinguish between children and adults. Face Detection technology detects up to eight individual faces and adjusts flash, focus, exposure, and white balance to help deliver crisp, properly lit images of family and friends.

High Sensitivity Mode (ISO 3200)

High ISO allows for faster shutter speed, so you can take photos indoors or in low light without the need for a flash. In addition to High Sensitivity Mode (ISO), you can select up to seven ISO settings (Auto, 125, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200) when shooting in Program Auto Mode to adjust sensitivity to the shooting conditions.

Self-Portrait Timer

Self-Portrait Timer helps take the guesswork out of self portraits by utilizing Face Detection technology to recognize when your face enters the frame. Once the camera detects your face, it triggers a 2-second timer, and then snaps a picture.

Includes Sony^® PMB (Picture Motion Browser) Software ver. 5.5

Sony Picture Motion Browser software offers a simple, intuitive way to transfer, sort, and view video and still images on a compatible PC.� In addition, multiple output options let you burn your memories to DVD (sold separately), as well as take advantage of one click upload to a number of popular video and photo sharing sites.

Sweep Panorama™ mode

Reach beyond the traditional wide angle lens, and capture more breathtaking shots with Sweep Panorama™ mode. Simply press the shutter button and sweep the camera in the desired direction and the camera continuously shoots at a high speed, then seamlessly stitches the images together with automatic position adjustment to create one stunning panoramic image. Available in wide and ultra-wide options, the camera can take panoramic shots of up to 260 degrees. Now capturing wide landscapes is as easy as press and sweep.

Active mode

Stabilize hand held HD movies with active mode. For recording on the go this feature was designed to minimize motion capturing the video without all of the movement.

Soft Skin mode

Portrait subjects will love the results. Soft Skin mode recognizes skin tones and reduces the appearance of blemishes and wrinkles without affecting the rest of the shot.

Smile Shutter™ technology

Smile Shutter™ technology captures a smile the moment it happens. Simply press the Smile Shutter™ button and the camera does the rest. Also select adult and child priority and indicate the degree of Smile Detection sensitivity. Intelligent Scene Recognition can be used together with Smile Shutter™ mode. This means that beautiful smiles can be captured with settings optimized for the particular scene, even in difficult conditions such as twilight and backlighting.

TransferJet™ technology

TransferJet™ technology, developed by Sony and advanced and promoted by a consortium of 18 other companies, allows transfer of up to ten files between two TransferJet™ enabled devices just by touching their TransferJet™ logos together, without the hassle of hunting for cables or the complication of pairing.⁵

In-Camera Retouching Tools

Retouch and enhance your photos on the go with in-camera Trimming, Red-Eye Correction, and Unsharp Masking functions

Compatible with PC and Mac^® Systems

The Full HD video captured with the DSC-H70 can be used with the provided Picture Motion Browser software for PC and iMovie^® (sold separately) for Mac^® systems.�

Compact camera with 10x zoom

The Sony^® 10x optical zoom G lens brings distant subjects super close for great outdoors, sports, and travel photos. The compact size makes it easy to take with you in a pocket, purse, or backpack.

Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilization

Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilization uses a built-in gyro sensor to detect camera shake and automatically shifts the lens to help prevent blur without sacrificing image quality.

Intelligent Auto Mode

Unlike traditional auto mode, Intelligent Auto (iAuto) mode does the thinking, recognizing scenes, lighting conditions, faces, and adjusts settings resulting in clear images, faces with natural skin tone and less blur. Take advantage of all the technology without leaving Auto mode. Kids on the playground, landscape shots, a beautiful flower or an indoor birthday party; all result in clear images without leaving auto mode.

In camera guide

Take all the guesswork out of photography with the in camera guide. Its convenient step-by-step instructions lead to a perfect shot.

Anti-blink Function

It’s frustrating to capture the perfect shot, only to review it later and discover subjects blinked during the photo. When the camera is set to Soft Snap, the Anti-blink function captures two images, recording only the photo with less squinting or blinking. If a blink is detected in other shooting modes, a warning will be displayed after you take the shot.

Easy Shooting Mode

With Easy Shooting Mode, even beginners can take great photos. In Easy Shooting Mode, easy-to-understand basic instructions are displayed on the LCD screen and the camera switches to all automatic settings, removing several function choices and allowing you to focus on just your subject. Since this mode works together with Intelligent Scene Recognition, the camera selects the optimum setting for each scene. In addition the easy mode simplifies preview mode.

PHOTOMUSIC

PHOTOMUSIC combines images with music (4 tracks, 5 minutes per track) to produce fun and entertaining slide shows with standard visual effects (Simple, Nostalgic, Active, and Stylish). Select from pre-loaded tracks on the camera or transfer your own from your compatible computer (sold separately).

Includes Sony^® PMB Portable software

With the pre-installed Picture Motion Browser (PMB) Portable software the DSC-H70 makes it easy to pre-select videos and images in the camera and conveniently upload them from the camera to a compatible PC and popular Internet sharing sites without the need for any additional software or install.�

SUPERB Superb camera. I took it to Italy and it captured every detail and colors of the riviera. Only flaw is that when taking pictures of family, there are so many options and limited time often you select the wrong mode. AutoMode works sometimes, but selects modes that dilute color. Worth every penny. December 23, 2011

WOW! What a fun camera! It takes great photos, great videos, it knows when you smile! This is an amazing camera, in my pocketbook all the time. It's a little tricky to set up, because it does so much, but well worth the time to learn. My son has two concerts this December, and I'll be taking the video of the band with this camera. It's that good! You won't be sorry buying this! December 5, 2011

terrible camera I dropped my great camera while the lens was open and broke it. We went to look for another one and the sales person said this was really a nice camera. We have had it for less than three weeks and the picture is grainy and the picture is also too white or too dark. I do not like it at all. I am taking it back to Best Buy. Hopefully they will replace it with something else. November 30, 2011

Great Camera for the price Bought this for my mom, but we all use it. I am a bit of a tech freak, and one thing that I like about the camera is the add-on features. Most devices that have a thousand different features are devices with, well, a thousand poorly designed features. Not this camera. Everything that is more than a normal camera is worth every bit. Face recognition, anti-red eye, blink recognition, stabilization, etc.... they all work wonderfully and are user friendly (i.e. you dont have to do a whole lot, the camera does most of it for you). In the end, I think it is a great buy, especially for the price. If you're looking for something high quality, but not with an outrageous price, this camera is one you should check out.
