Clad in black, the DSC-H5 model has a 7.2-megapixel CCD imager & extra-large, 3" LCD screen. The camera flaunts a Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar 12x optical zoom lens & focal length ranges of 36 to 432 millimeters (35 mm equivalence).
High-zoom cameras are one of the fastest-growing segments in the industry, they are powerful enough to get those hard-to-see distant shots, & have the easy-to-use functionality of point-and-shoot cameras.
Even without the steadiest of hands (or subjects), the cameras' anti-blur technologies ensure challenging shots can be executed with ease.
This model incorporates Sony's Super SteadyShot optical image stabilization to help reduce image blur caused by hand movement. Because the DSC-H5 features high-light sensitivity settings up to IS0 1000, fast-moving cars & people along the boulevard can also be captured with considerably less blur & graininess.
Sony's Clear RAW noise reduction technology minimizes picture noise, making it easier to shoot at faster shutter speeds. The anti-blur technology is an advantage when shooting in low-light conditions, such as outdoor shots in the evening or inside dark museums.
These shots can be taken without a flash, resulting in naturally-exposed images that truly capture the drama & atmosphere of the moment. And, you can get as close as you want with the cameras' significant macro mode of 3/4"
You Are Big! The Cameras Got Smaller-And Smarter, the H-series cameras are substantial, without feeling bulky, & feature a comfortable grip with controls easily accessible by thumb. Count on detailed image previews using the H5 model's 3" resolution LCD screen, with a pixel count of 230K & Clear PhotoLCD plus. Sony's ultra-fast Real Imaging Processor circuitry increases the battery efficiency for quicker start-up, faster shot-to-shot times, higher-quality movie capture, & longer battery life. The H5 camera delivers up to 340 shots on a single charge.
The camera includes auto-exposure & multi-point, auto-focus features along with pre-set scene modes customized for specific shooting conditions, all working silently in the background while you concentrate on the center-stage action.
When greater creative control is needed, aperture/shutter priority & manual exposure modes are available options.
The DSC-H5 has 32MB of internal memory, expandable with an optional Memory Stick Duo media card or Memory Stick PRO Duo card, now available in capacities up to 4 gb.
Make the most of your close-ups by producing high-quality prints. Simply connectthe DSC-H5 to a Sony DPP-FP50 digital photo printer & produce lab-quality photos at home. You can even create postcards for all of your budding fans with the printer's supplied software.
With Sony's ImageStation online photo service, you can expand your options to print tens or even hundreds of pictures, create online photo & video albums, or make customized gifts such as photo books & calendars.
