What are the features and how will they benefit you? |
|
Optical Image Stabilisation – works to counteract blurred images due to shaky hands - important at full zoom where a small movement of the hand can cause a lot of movement at the other end.
Bionz Image Processor – originally designed for the Sony Digital SLR, this powerful high speed processor works to reduce noise – or graininess - and maintain colour integrity.
Face Detection - focuses on faces rather than other picture elements that might be in the foreground or background.
High ISO Sensitivity (ISO 3200) -this will help you take better photos in low lighting.
Clear Raw Noise Reduction – reduces image “noise” that may appear due to light sensitivity.
Sports Shooting Mode - The camera will quickly focus on fast-moving subjects by predicting where they will be in the frame. This technology also helps to reduce shutter lag -- the time it takes for the camera to focus and shoot.
D-Range Optimiser - helps you capture balanced images when shooting in high-contrast or backlit scenes. DRO modifies the range from highlights to shadows through its in-camera hardware processing – ultimately producing more natural, evenly exposed images. Full HD 1080i Output - lets you watch a slideshow of your photos on a High Definition TV (requires optional VMCMHC1 HD cable) |

Sony says:
SAN DIEGO, Jan. 23, 2008 – Sony today unveiled its high-zoom Cyber-shot® DSC-H10 digital camera, a compact model that is ideal for parents looking to capture their families’ memories.
With its small dimensions (only 4-1/4-inches wide by 2-3/4-inches tall by 2-inches deep), the new model combines the performance of much larger cameras in a more convenient size. Small enough for a pocket or purse, the 8-megapixel camera is perfect for sporting events, school recitals and vacations, helping you easily capture close-ups, even from a distance.
Designed to replace the current DSC-H3 model, the DSC-H10 camera features a wider 3-inch Clear Photo LCD Plus™ screen for easy playback viewing and menu navigation.
Great Photos Made Easy The new model has a powerful Carl Zeiss® 10x optical zoom lens and a long-range flash to help you capture details from afar. Its face detection technology can identify and focus on up to eight faces in a frame, and automatically adjusts the focus for correctly exposed photos.
The high-zoom camera includes Sony’s advanced sports shooting mode, which combines high shutter speed and continuous auto-focusing to help you capture fast-action shots. This intelligent technology allows the camera to quickly focus on fast-moving subjects by predicting where they will be in the frame – and ultimately reducing shutter lag.
To help you capture well-exposed, natural-looking photos – even in challenging low-light conditions – the new model features high sensitivity shooting (up to ISO 3200). It also incorporates Super Steady Shot® optical image stabilization to reduce blur caused by shaky hands.
The DSC-H10 camera incorporates Sony’s D-Range Optimizer (DRO) to help you capture balanced images when shooting in high-contrast or backlit scenes. DRO modifies the range from highlights to shadows through its in-camera hardware processing – ultimately producing more natural, evenly exposed images. The camera also has helpful functions to manually correct images immediately after capturing them, including in-camera red-eye correction and photo retouching.
Fast and Fun Playback For fun playback of family photos, the unit’s built-in slideshow function helps create slideshows set to your favourite music choices. Up to eight songs can be uploaded via the camera’s USB port. To view your favourite images and slideshows just like you view your favourite TV shows – in full 1080 high definition resolution – you can connect the camera to a compatible HDTV set.
