Product Description
The Sony DSC-P5 is a sophisticated digital camera that sets new standards in compact, elegant, and stylish design that were inconceivable just a short while ago. Small, lightweight and handy, with one of the most advanced feature sets currently available, these are the attributes many photographers desire in a camera for all occasions. With dimensions of 112.5 mm long, 53.8 mm tall and 36.2 mm deep, the DSC-P5 is almost 20 per cent smaller than its predecessor, the DSC-P1. An elegant and robust magnesium body belies a feather light 185g weight.
Harnessing the latest Sony design and digital image technology advances, the DSC-P5 provides the user with comprehensive, easy-to-use shooting facilities. Equipped with an effective 3.2 Megapixels, the Super-HAD CCD is supported by a new 14-bit A/D converter. The refined signal processing enhances the dynamic range and reveals even greater detail. Compared with the DSC-P1, the DSC-P5 possesses a number of refinements and new features. Burst Mode gives users the option to take two consecutive shots in a rapid succession. The Autofocus function is aided by AF illuminator technology, so that even poor light conditions are not a problem. You are ensured of capturing sharply focused images regardless of the light situation. As for a range of exposure scenarios, the photographer can select the ISO setting manually (ISO100-ISO400).
The camera provides users with the ability to capture moving as well as still images. Short films can be shot using the camera's MPEG EX (EXtended) function. The film is stored on Sony's Memory Stick. For super close-ups the DSC-P5 has a 3x optical zoom, which is supplemented by a 6x digital precision zoom. This configuration gives rise to an optical focal length of 39-117 mm, and enables the camera to cover large distances easily. So that you do not lose sight of the small things in life, the Autofocus operates from a distance of 10 cm with the aid of the macro function.
Thanks to the optical viewfinder and 1.5-inch colour LCD, photographers cannot miss their subjects. Advanced flash facilities make the subject brighter if necessary, typically used in order to prevent the red-eye effect. The camera also disposes of various automatic programs and setting options for white balance. Ease of use was a primary concern of the design engineers. The DSC-P5 employs a new design control dial on the top of the camera for fast and easy image shooting.
The new camera's power consumption is lower than that of its predecessor. The new and smaller InfoLITHIUM battery, the NP-FC10, provides the camera with sufficient energy for up to 90 minutes or 1,800 pictures with the LCD switched off. A major source of space savings and enabler of this new camera's striking slimline design, the battery harnesses the latest developments in Sony's Stamina battery technology.
Besides the 8 MB Memory Stick, the DSC-P5 is supplied with an InfoLITHIUM battery, AV and USB cable, and a software pack age for Windows and Mac environments (MGI PhotoSuite, MGI VideoWaveSE, USB driver).
