Sony DSCH3B Digital Camera (8.1MP, 10x Optical zoom) 2.5" LCD

Vital Statistics

Weighing only 246 grams and measuring 106mm (w) x 68.5mm (h) x 47.5mm (d), you’ll find the H3 is compact and light enough to carry with you on all occasions. The viewing screen is an impressive 2.5 inches making it easy to see exactly who & what will be in your photo.

Megapixels

Digital photos are made up of dots of coloured light called pixels (picture element). To make a photo requires millions of pixels (mega pixels). The more mega pixels a camera has, the smoother and clearer the photos will be. So, crisp, clear images are assured courtesy of the 8.1 effective megapixel sensor and Real Imaging Processor.

Powerful 10x Zoom

The beautifully-styled H3 is the smallest ever Cyber-shot featuring a Carl Zeiss 10x zoom lens (38-380mm equivalent; F3.5-4.4). The powerful optical zoom pulls distant subjects closer with superb clarity. Its wide range also broadens the scope of framing options for greater creative possibilities – from expansive
landscapes and intimate portraits to dynamic nature shots and sporting scenes. Magnification is boosted further still by the 17x HD Smart Zoom (in 16:9 shooting mode) for powerful telephoto images that can be enjoyed with stunning quality on a large HD-Ready television.

Face Detection Technology

The DSCH3 offers easy-to-use Face Detection which helps photographers of all abilities capture great-looking ‘people pictures’. Powered by the camera’s super-responsive BIONZ image processor, Face Detection automatically adjusts exposure, flash and contrast using the Dynamic Range Optimiser (DRO), analysing each image for balanced, natural-looking results.

Double Anti-Blur

Double Anti-Blur technology reduces camera shake for clear, bright images when shooting conditions are less than perfect. Super SteadyShot image stabilisation is coupled with high sensitivity (ISO 3200) for blur-free, atmospheric results without flash. When you’re shooting indoors or in low light at high ISO settings,
Sony Clear RAW NR noise reduction suppresses colour and luminance noise for natural results.

Sports Mode

The Cyber-shot H3 keeps pace with the action in challenging situations like live sports. A new Advanced Sports Shooting Mode teams a high 1/2000 sec shutter speed with predictive autofocus for crisp, clear capture of fast-moving subjects.

Photo TV HD

It’s easy to enjoy the finest quality High Definition images captured with the H3 on a BRAVIA or HD Ready display so you can share your images with friends and family. Photo TV HD optimises the images for subtler, more natural colour and textures on the latest generation of Full HD BRAVIA. This offers a significant improvement over viewing still images on conventional TV sets.
