Features- This point and shoot has it all-and then some. The DSC-W300 includes a wide range of convenient features, including Smile Shutter Mode which captures smiles the moment they happen. The compact and scratch-resistant titanium-coated body features an astounding 13.6 megapixel resolution, 2.7" Clear Photo LCD(TM) display, Carl Zeiss(R) 3x optical zoom lens, and Sony's Double Anti-Blur solution for crisp, clear images. In addition, it has Face Detection technology that optimizes flash, focus, exposure and color for up to eight faces, as well as Intelligent Scene Recognition that automatically detects five different types of scenes and takes a picture with the optimal camera settings.
- 13.6 MP Super HAD(TM) CCD
- More megapixels give you greater image definition so you can make big prints and tight crops without losing detail. The advanced Sony(R) Super HAD(TM) (Hole Accumulated Diode) CCD design allows more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise.
- Carl Zeiss(R) 3X Optical Zoom Lens
- Professional Carl Zeiss(R) lens with 3x optical zoom (35mm-105mm4) brings distant subjects closer for great outdoor, sports, and travel photos.
- 2.7"1 Clear Photo LCD Display
- A large, bright 2.7"1 Clear Photo LCD(TM) display includes an anti-reflective coating that provides for excellent visibility to help you compose, view, and share photos with superb clarity and color reproduction, even in bright sunlight.
- Anti-scratch Premium Titanium body
- The titanium coating on the body is approximately five times harder than anodized aluminium-treated camera bodies, offers excellent protection from scratches while offering a premium look.
- Face Detection
- Face Detection technology recognizes up to 8 faces and automatically controls focus, exposure, white balance, and flash to help reveal faces in shadows, make skin tones look more natural, reduce red-eye, and eliminate harsh facial glare, so your photos bring out every expression on every face in every shot.
- Smile Shutter
- Smile Shutter(TM) technology captures smiles the moment they happen5 - without the need to press the shutter. 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(R) 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(R) optical image stabilization
- Super SteadyShot(R) optical image stabilization compensates for shaky hands and minimizes blur with a built-in gyro sensor 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.
- EXTRA High Sensitivity (ISO 3200) Mode
- EXTRA High Sensitivity Mode (ISO 64006) helps reduce blur when shooting indoors or at twilight, even without flash, so you can capture great-looking images even in less-than-ideal lighting.
- 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 aTripod. Intelligent Scene Recognition has two different modes, advanced and auto. Advanced mode takes two shots, one with the standard automatic settings and the other with optimized settings. Auto mode takes a single shot, using the camera's intelligence to decide proper settings.
- Dynamic Range Optimization Standard & Plus
- Powered by the exclusive Sony BIONZ(TM) 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.
- Variable Noise Reduction
- Variable Noise Reduction allows greater control over image characteristics with High, Low and Standard settings that let you select the optimal setting depending on the scene and your personal tastes.
- Convenient Photo Modes
- To adjust quickly for specific shooting situations, you can choose from several convenient photo modes, including Auto, Program Auto, Manual Exposure, and Scene Selections such as Twilight, Twilight Portrait, Fireworks, Smile Shutter, Underwater, Landscape, Soft Snap, Snow, High Sensitivity, Extra High Sensitivity (only 3 megapixel image), Extra High Speed Burst (only 3 megapixel image) 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.
- Automatic Macro Shooting
- Standard Auto Focus now covers the macro focus range, eliminating the need to manually change focus modes for close-up photography. The Macro mode has not been eliminated, and enabling it accelerates Auto Focus when shooting at point-blank range.
- 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.
