Sony helps families capture the action with new compact high-zoom digital camera
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 favorite music choices. Up
to eight songs can be uploaded via the camera’s USB port. To view your
favorite images and slideshows just like you view your favorite TV
shows – in full 1080 high definition resolution – you can connect the
camera to a compatible HDTV set.
Pricing and Availability
The Cyber-Shot DSC-H10 digital camera will ship in May for about $300.
Additional accessories will include wide and telephoto conversion
lenses, filters, batteries, travel chargers, sports packs and cases.
The new model and accessories can be purchased online at
www.sonystyle.com, at Sony Style® retail stores, at military base
exchanges, and at authorized dealers nationwide. Pre-orders begin on
Jan. 31 at www.sonystyle.com.
