Product Details

Sony DSC-W330 Red Cyber-Shot 14.1 Megapixels Digital Camera

Features:

• 14.1 Megapixel Super HAD™ CCD Image Sensor : A powerful 14.1 megapixel 1/2.3” Super HAD™ CCD image sensor helps you capture gorgeous images with superb contrast and clarity down to the finest detail. With 14.1 megapixels, you can create stunning, photo-quality prints up to A3+ (13x19”) size, or crop your images and still come away with high resolution shots.
  
• Sony Lens with 4x Optical Zoom with 26mm equivalent wide : The professional-quality Carl Zeiss® Vario-Tessar® 4x optical zoom lens with 26mm equivalent wide angle brings distant subjects closer for great outdoor, sports, and travel photos.
  
• 3.0” Clear Photo LCD™ display (230k pixels)1 : Generous 3.0”1 (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.
  
• Intelligent Auto (iAuto) mode : Unlike traditional auto mode, Intelligent Auto (iAuto) mode thinks for you, recognizing scenes, lighting conditions, and faces, and adjusts settings resulting in clearer images, faces with more natural skin tone, and less blur. By incorporating advanced features such as Intelligent Scene Recognition, Face Detection technology, and SteadyShot™ image stabilization, iAuto mode lets you take advantage of the latest Sony® Cyber-shot® technology without leaving auto mode. Whether you're shooting landscapes, capturing a beautiful flower, or taking pictures at an in-door birthday party or wedding shower, iAuto mode will optimize your camera's settings to help ensure you come away with a great shot.
  
• Intelligent Scene Recognition (iSCN) Mode : Intelligent Scene Recognition (iSCN) Mode automatically detects seven different types of scenes and, within just 1/30th of a second, selects the appropriate camera settings: Twlight, Twilight Portrait, Backlight, Backlight Portrait, Landscape, Macro, Portrait. 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.
  
• Steady Shot Image Stabilization : SteadyShot™ image stabilization compensates for camera shake and helps prevent blur through use of digital processing technologies.
  
• Face Detection technology : Face Detection technology detects up to eight individual faces and adjusts flash, focus, exposure, and white balance to help deliver crisp, properly lit images of family and friends.
  
• Motion Detection : Motion Detection, along with Face Motion Detection adjusts ISO sensitivity and increases the shutter speed when movement is detected, reducing blur in moving subjects and faces.
  
• 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 the degree of Smile Detection Sensitivity. Intelligent Scene Recognition can be used together with Smile Shutter™ mode. This means that beautiful smiles can be captured with settings optimized for the particular scene, even in difficult conditions such as twilight and backlighting.
  
• Scene modes : The DSC-W330 features 10 convenient scene modes: High Sensitivity / Twilight / Twilight Portrait / Soft Snap / Landscape / Beach / Snow / Underwater / Gourmet / Pet.
  
• Intelligent AF : Thanks to Intelligent AF technology, capture fleeting moments like a child's adorable expression with the ultra-quick AF. The camera is always ready to take the best shot.
  
• 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.
  
• Function Guide : This beginner-friendly optional function helps navigate through the various functions and settings displaying the description of chosen functions or settings on the LCD screen.
  
• In-Camera Retouching Tools : Retouch and enhance your photos on the go with in-camera Trimming and Red-Eye Correction.
