Sony DSC-W510 Feature Highlights
|
|
12.1 Megapixel Super HAD CCD Image Sensor
A powerful 12.1 megapixel ½.3-inch Super HAD CCD image sensor helps you capture
gorgeous images with superb contrast and clarity down to the finest detail. With
12.1 megapixels, you can create stunning, photo-quality prints up to A3+
(13x19-inch) size, or crop your images and still come away with high resolution
shots. |
|
2.7” Clear Photo LCD display (230k pixels)
Generous 2.7-inch (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. |
|
Sony Lens with 4x Optical Zoom and 26mm
equivalent wide angle
The Sony 4x optical zoom lens brings distant subjects closer for great outdoors,
sports, and travel photos. Thanks to 26mm equivalent wide angle of this lens you
can also get great group shots in tight spots. |
|
Sweep Panorama mode
Reach beyond the traditional wide angle lens, and capture more breathtaking
shots with 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. Available in wide and
ultra-wide options, the camera can take panoramic shots of up to 231 degrees.
Now capturing wide landscapes is as easy as press and sweep. |
|
SteadyShot image stabilization
SteadyShot image stabilization compensates for camera shake and helps prevent
blur through use of digital processing technologies. |
|
Intelligent Auto Mode
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. Kids on the playground, landscape
shots, a beautiful flower or an indoor birthday party; all result in clear
images without leaving auto mode. |
|
Face Detection technology
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. |
|
Smile Shutter technology
Smile Shutter technology captures a smile the moment it happens. Simply press
the Smile Shutter button and the camera does the rest. You can also select adult
and child priority and indicate the degree of Smile Detection Sensitivity.
Intelligent Scene Recognition can now be used together with Smile Shutter mode
when the Intelligent Auto mode is on. This means that beautiful smiles can be
captured with settings optimized for the particular scene, even in difficult
conditions such as twilight and backlighting. |
480p AVI VGA Movie Mode9
In 480p AVI movie mode the camera shoots 640 x 480 movies at 30 fps, which is
the format when working with a PC. Users will create movies with full use of
optical zoom in files small enough to transfer to compatible PC or Mac. Once
transferred to your computer you can effortlessly upload your media to popular
photo and video-sharing websites such as Photobucket and YouTube. (Compatible
computer with internet capability required) |
Natural Flash
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. |
Self-Portrait Timer
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. |
Anti-blink Function
It’s frustrating to capture the perfect shot, only to review it later and
discover subjects blinked during the photo. 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. |
Dynamic Range Optimizer Standard and Plus
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. DRO is
particularly effective when shooting backlit portraits or any scene with a
dramatic contrast between background and foreground lighting. DRO Plus allows
for even greater optimization by analyzing each region of an image and
performing additional image processing.

Intelligent Scene Recognition (iSCN) Mode
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. iSCN has two modes: Auto
and Advanced. In Auto Mode, the camera takes a single shot using the optimal
settings. In Advanced Mode, the camera takes a photo with the optimal settings
and, if in difficult lighting (low light or back light) immediately takes a
second photo with another optimized setting so you can choose which to keep. |
|
High Sensitivity Mode (ISO 3200)
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. |
Easy Shooting Mode
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. Since this mode works together
with Intelligent Scene Recognition, the camera selects the optimum setting for
each scene. In addition the easy mode simplifies preview mode. |
In-Camera Retouching Tools
Retouch and enhance your photos on the go with in-camera Trimming, Red-Eye
Correction, and Unsharp Masking functions. |
PHOTOMUSIC4
PHOTOMUSIC4 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). |
