26 February 2008 (Sawf News) - Sony introduces the latest addition to its high-zoom camera line, the 9.1-megapixel Cyber-shot(R) DSC-H50 digital camera. It is the ideal choice for people looking for high zoom, high-resolution and speed.
DSC-H50 utilizes a powerful Carl Zeiss 15x optical zoom lens with Super SteadyShot optical image stabilization to capture action at a distance. One of the main lens elements is manufactured from super low-dispersion glass, which helps it produce sharp, high-contrast images and reduces color fringing, even when shooting in telephoto ranges.
Its large 3-inch tilting scratch-resistant and UV hard-coat finish LCD screen lets you shoot comfortably from nearly any position and angles.
Its higher shutter speeds, up to 1/4000 of a second, with predictive continuous auto-focusing allows the user to quickly focus and capture fast-moving subjects with minimal shutter lag.
The camera's flash can illuminate subjects more than 55 feet away (when using ISO 3200, wide angle).
The unit features extensive manual controls, including user-selectable noise reduction and an exposure bracketing mode for white balance and color modes
The camera also incorporates improved smile shutter and face detection technologies, analyzes shooting conditions and selects the optimal setting automatically and improved Dynamic Range Optimizer (DRO).
Other helpful features include a new plus mode that applies a high image correction algorithm to retrieve more picture detail in bright highlights and dark shadows; NightShot(R) technology to help capture photos in virtually no light as well as infrared remote access; five color modes including "real" for less in-camera processing and more faithful color reproduction; in-camera editing features; advanced in-camera image management functions; improved slide show functions with longer music files; and HD component output for viewing photos on a compatible HDTV set.
The camera supports 15MB internal memory and MS Duo/Pro Duo memory storage and runs on Lithium-ion battery.
The H50 model will be available in May for about $400 with a full line of accessory options.
