\nNew Sony Cyber-shot Camera Gets Even More Intelligent Yet Still Very Practical<\/b>
\n
\nLAS VEGAS (CES Booth #14200) \u2013 Sony today announced a new 12-megapixel Cyber-shot\u00ae camera (model DSC-W220) that combines powerful imaging features with intelligence to make taking great pictures easy.
\n
\nThe entry-level W model has features that until now were only found in high-end models (DSC-W150 and DSC-W170), including Intelligent Scene Recognition and Dynamic Range Optimizer.
\n
\n\u201cThis camera is perfect for customers who forget to change settings to the right scene mode, do not have the time to change settings or do not know what setting to use\u201d said Karim Noblecilla, senior product marketing manager in the Digital Imaging Division at Sony Electronics. \u201cIt chooses the correct scene mode, which makes it easy to use.\u201d
\n
\nIntelligent Scene Recognition automatically recognizes a total of five scenes\u2014twilight portrait, twilight, twilight using a tripod, backlight and backlight portrait. It optimizes camera settings for shooting situations, taking an additional shot in low and bright light scenarios when there are two different approaches to shooting a scene so users can choose which picture they would like to keep.
\n
\nThe camera\u2019s Dynamic Range Optimizer uses a sophisticated algorithm to determine the best exposure and contrast settings in almost any shooting environment, giving images a natural look with clearer details that match what you see with your naked eye.
\n
\nThe W220 camera has a 2.7-inch LCD screen (measured diagonally) and Carl Zeiss\u00ae Vario-Tessar 4X optical zoom lens with 30 millimeter (equivalent) wide angle view. It includes Optical SteadyShot\u2122 image stabilization to minimize blur without affecting picture quality. Sony\u2019s Smile Shutter\u2122 technology automatically captures a smile the moment it happens. You can use the adult or child priority setting when shooting scenes containing both adults and children, and the camera will distinguish one face from another.
\n
\nBundled Picture Motion Browser (PMB) software allows you to quickly organize images on a compatible PC and upload images to the Web. You can search and organize images by event, smile or face, including children and infants. Then you can display them in calendar or chronological views organized into folders. Of course, you can also share, print or save your scrapbooks.
\n
\nImages can be stored and managed on both the camera\u2019s 15MB internal memory and an optional Memory Stick\u00ae media card. The camera\u2019s high definion output and HD slideshow with music let you share images on HDTV sets, including Sony\u2019s BRAVIA\u00ae flat-panel LCD models (HDMI cable not included).
