Quite the résumé
It's all about the detail. With its whopping 12.1-megapixel capture resolution, the Sony DSC-W290 offers more than just crisp, lifelike, digital photographs. Because the resolution of your photos is so high, you have the ability to enlarge prints up to 13" x 19" without sacrificing any detail. While the 3.0" Clear Photo LCD viewscreen offers a wide, bright, clear platform for composing, reviewing, and sharing all your shots, the 4x optical zoom makes it possible to capture shots of distant subjects. And if you get tired of shooting stills, the DSC-W290 is equipped to record up to 29 minutes of high-definition 720p video in MPEG4 format.
The full repertoire
With the DSC-W290, it's "no-holds-barred" when it comes to advanced shooting modes. Intelligent Scene Recognition mode automatically detects eight different types of scene conditions and selects the appropriate camera settings within 1/30th of a second. While Face Detection technology detects up to eight individual faces and controls flash, focus, exposure, and white balance to deliver accurate, natural skin tones, an Anti-blink Function captures two images, recording only the photo with the least squinting, and Red-eye Reduction reduces common red-eye problems. Further, Smile Shutter Technology automatically detects and captures a smiling face so that you never miss a happy shot. Finally, SteadyShot optical image stabilization combines with high ISO sensitivity to dramatically reduce image blur resulting from shaky hands and to allow for flash-free shooting in low-light situations.
