About Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-W560 14.1 Megapixel Digital Camera, Red

Compose, view and share your images and 720p movies on the large 3.0" LCD and capture your shots up close with 4x optical zoom. Offering an array of shooting modes and easy-to-use features, the compact DSC-W560/R Cyber-Shot digital camera is jam packed with everything you need at a great value. Use Sweep Panorama Mode to capture breathtaking images while iAuto mode automatically optimizes camera settings. Additional features include an in-camera guide and Easy Shooting mode which help take the guesswork out of photography and lead you to the perfect shot.

Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-W560 14.1 Megapixel Digital Camera, Red Features

  • In 720p MP4 movie mode the camera shoots 1280 x 720 high definition movies at 30 fps, which is the format when working with a PC. Create high quality movies with full use of optical zoom in files small enough to transfer to compatible PC or Mac
  • Generous 3.0" (230K pixels) Clear Photo LCD display features sharp, natural color that makes it easy to compose shots, read menus and view photos, even in bright sunlight
  • 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
  • Take all the guesswork out of photography with the in-camera guide. It's convenient step by step instructions lead you to the perfect shot
  • The high-performance Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar 4x optical zoom lens brings distant subjects closer for video recording as well as for outdoor, sports and travel photos and Close Focus shoots close-ups up to just under 1/2" from the subject
  • Intelligent Scene Recognition (iSCN) Mode automatically detects eight different types of scenes and, within just 1/30th of a second, selects the appropriate camera settings: Backlight, Backlight Portrait, Twilight, Twilight Portrait, Twilight using a tripod, Portrait, Landscape and macro
  • Retouch and enhance your photos on the go with in-camera Trimming, Red-Eye Correction and Unsharp Masking functions
  • With the pre-installed Picture Motion Browser (PMB) Portable software the DSC-W560 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
  • 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
  • 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
  • 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 detects up to eight individual faces and adjusts focus, exposure and white balance to help deliver crisp, properly lit images of family and friends
  • The Anti-blink function works to help counter blinking and squinting. When the camera is set to Soft Snap, the Anti-blink function captures two images, recording only the photo with less squinting. If a blink is detected in other shooting modes, a warning will be displayed after you take the shot
  • 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 your shooting conditions
  • 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)
  • A powerful 14.1 megapixel 1/2.3in Super HAD CCD image sensor helps you capture gorgeous images with superb contrast and clarity down to the finest detail
  • Unlike traditional auto mode, Intelligent Auto (iAuto) mode thinks for you, recognizing scenes, lighting conditions, faces and adjusts settings resulting clear images, faces with natural skin tone and less blur. Take advantage of all the technology without leaving Auto mode
  • 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
  • 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
  • Dynamic Range Optimizer (DRO) Standard and Plus uses a sophisticated algorithm to help recover shadows and highlights. The result is more natural images with clearer details that more closely match what your naked eye sees
  • 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
  • Sony Picture Motion Browser software offers a simple, intuitive way to transfer, sort and view your video and still images on your compatible PC
