Features- Beauty is in the details, and this model captures them all. The DSC-H50 is a full-featured point-and-shoot with outstanding high-power zoom capability. It includes Smile Shutter™ technology which captures smile the moment they happen, as well as Face Detection technology to optimize focus, exposure and color for up to eight faces. Shoot detailed images with 9.1 megapixel resolution, and bring your subjects closer with the 15x optical zoom Carl Zeiss® lens. Intelligent Scene Recognition automatically selects your camera's settings based on detected lighting conditions, while Sony's Double Anti-Blur solution helps keep your images blur-free. The DSC-H50 completes the package with a 3.0" ClearPhoto LCD Plus™ display that lets you easily view your images and menu options. Also available in silver.
- 9.1 MP Super HAD™ CCD
- More megapixels give you more detail and definition when you make big prints or crop in tight on your subject. The advanced Sony® Super HAD™ (Hole Accumulated Diode) CCD design allows more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise.
- Carl Zeiss® 15X Optical Zoom Lens
- 15X optical zoom provides a superb ability to bring long-distance subjects up close — a significant advantage for situations where you can’t be near the action, such as sporting events or wildlife photography.
- 3.0”1 Tilt-up Clear Photo LCD Plus™ Display
- The large, bright tiltable 3.0”1 Clear Photo LCD Plus™ display (230K pixels) tilts up for comfortable low-angle shooting, and an anti-reflective coating provides for excellent visibility to help you compose, view, and share photos with superb clarity and color reproduction, even in bright sunlight.
- Face Detection
- Face Detection technology automatically controls flash, focus, exposure, and white balance to help reveal faces in shadows, make skin tones look more natural, reduce red-eye, and eliminates harsh facial glare.
- Smile Shutter Technology5
- Smile Shutter™ technology captures smiles the moment they happen. The mode can be set to capture when your subject laughs, smiles or even grins, and like Face Detection is able to differentiate children and adults to set priority.
- Sony Double Anti-Blur Solution
- The combination of Super SteadyShot® optical image stabilization and high ISO sensitivity helps compensate for shaky hands, minimizes blur, and allow flash-free shooting to preserve the mood.
- Super SteadyShot® Optical Image Stabilization
- Super SteadyShot® Image Stabilization compensates for shaky hands and minimizes blur with a built-in gyro that detects camera movement and sends correcting signals to a stabilization lens -- so there’s no need to crop in on your shot to reduce blur.
- High Sensitivity (ISO 3200) Mode
- With high sensitivity of ISO 3200, you can shoot effectively in low light without flash to preserve the mood, while the Sony Clear RAW™ Noise Reduction system helps suppress the color noise that can degrade low-light shots.
- Intelligent Scene Recognition Mode
- Intelligent Scene Recognition mode automatically detects 5 different types of scenes and selects the appropriate camera setting: Backlight, Backlight Portrait, Twilight, Twilight Portrait, and Twilight using a Tripod. Intelligent Scene Recognition has two different modes, advanced and auto. Advanced mode takes one with the standard automatic settings and the other with optimized settings. Auto mode takes a single shot, utilizing the camera's optimal settings.
- Dynamic Range Optimization Standard & Plus
- Powered by the exclusive Sony BIONZ™ high-speed processing engine, Dynamic Range Optimization preserves image data in bright highlights and reveals more detail in shadows or backlit areas -- for great results even in difficult lighting conditions. New DRO Plus mode enhances optimization, analyzing each region of an image and performing additional image processing.
- NightShot® Infrared System
- Sony’s NightShot® Infrared System lets you shoot photos in near-dark or totally dark (0 lux) conditions without using a flash, so you can capture creative night scenes that lie beyond the power of conventional cameras.
- Variable Noise Reduction (NR Level Setting)
- To allow greater control over NR, three NR Level Settings are available -- High, Low and Standard — allowing you to select the optimal setting depending on the scene and individual tastes. For example, applying high NR helps obtain smoothly textured images for portraits or dark scenes, while the low setting is helps reduce noise without sacrificing resolution, making it especially useful for landscapes, detailed subjects, and contoured surfaces.
- Advanced Sports Shooting mode
- Advance Sports Shooting mode is ideal for shooting fast-moving subjects. Just choose Advanced Sports Shooting mode with the mode dial. The camera will then automatically use Auto Focus to analyze subject motion and predict the next move while the shutter button is halfway pressed. A high shutter speed (up to 1/4000 sec.) helps ensure you capture the moment clearly even if the subject is moving at high speed.
- Bracket Shooting Mode
- In addition to standard exposure bracketing (±0.3EV/±0.7EV/±1.0EV), Bracket Shooting mode now includes settings for white balance and color modes. This function records three images with one shot, each with a different white balance or color mode applied, making it easy to capture the ambience and feeling of the original scene.
- Convenient Photo Modes
- To adjust quickly for specific shooting situations, you can choose from several convenient photo modes, including Auto, Program Auto, and Scene Selections such as Twilight, Twilight Portrait, Landscape, Portrait, Snow, High Sensitivity, Smile Shutter, Advance Sports Shooting, Fireworks, and Beach environments.
- MPEG Movie VX Fine Mode
- Capture VGA (640 x 480) audio/video clips at a high frame rate (up to 30 frames per second7), with the length of your video limited only by the capacity of your media. The maximum length of time you can shoot continuously is about 10 minutes. Plus, optical zoom is available during movie recording.
- High Contrast and Low Chromatic Aberration
- The ED lens used is manufactured from super low-dispersion glass, which drastically reduces chromatic aberration. This yields sharp, high contrast images and decreases color fringing, especially on the edges of images shot with telephoto lenses.
- Versatile long distance flash
- Versatile long distance flash is powerful enough to illuminate subjects up to 55 meters away (at wide angle and ISO 3200 settings). Additionally, an Auto Daylight Synchro provides effective fill-in flash illumination for backlit subjects.
- Automatic Macro Shooting
- Standard Auto Focus now covers the macro focus range, eliminating the need to manually change focus modes for close-up photography.
- 9-Point Auto Focus
- Because an off-center subject can make your shot more interesting, a 9-point auto focus measures auto-focus at 9 precision points instead of 5 -- giving you greater creative freedom to compose your image.
- Smart Zoom® Feature8
- The Sony Smart Zoom® feature8 intelligently “crops into” the central portion of interest in your photo, helping avoid the image degradation of other digital zooms.
- Burst Mode
- You can fire off 100 shots automatically at .64-second intervals (at any resolution: VGA to full resolution mode) -- a great way to capture a child’s first steps or a pet’s best tricks.
- Color Filter Kit
- Five color filter effects -- including Red, Green, Blue, Warm, and Cool -- provide the same effects via in-camera image processing that are typically achieved with colored lens filters. Each effect provides increased creative control when shooting.
- Color Mode “Real”
- For users who want to retouch their images after shooting, Color Mode “Real” helps enable faithful color reproduction by minimizing in-camera image processing. The color modes available are Real, Normal, Vivid, Sepia, and Black & White.
- Wheel Dial for Manual Exposure Modes
- For more creative freedom, a simple wheel-dial control lets you quickly change camera settings in manual modes (shutter speed priority, aperture priority, manual exposure) and also control ISO sensitivity, focus area, and exposure value. In play mode, the wheel dial provides a quick way to view your next or previous shot.
- Remote Control Function
- In both shooting and play mode, you can use a supplied remote control unit to control basic camera functions -- including zoom, menu settings, etc. -- so you can put yourself in the picture when shooting with a tripod or sit back and enjoy the show when you share images on your home TV screen.
- Easy Shooting Mode
- A simplified camera environment especially attractive to beginners or digital camera users who want to keep things simple, Easy Shooting provides easy-to-read, on-screen instructions and limits the number of camera settings to help prevent misuse of the camera while still providing excellent results.
- Function Guide
