More megapixels give you more detail and definition when you make big prints or crop in tight on your subject. The 8.1 megapixel advanced Sony® Super HAD (Hole Accumulated Diode) CCD design allows more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise. A built-in slot accepts optional Memory Stick Duo media or Memory Stick PRO Duo media, the compact, high-capacity storage media that make it easy to upload photos to your PC and are compatible with millions of devices worldwide. Even if you forget your optional flash memory card, you can get the shot because 15 MB of internal memory lets you capture a limited number of shots with in-camera convenience, than easily transfer your shots to a PC or optional Memory Stick Duo media.
Technology for better shots
The Carl Zeiss® lens on the DSCW150 features a 5x optical zoom that brings distant subjects closer to help you capture sharp, detailed long shots and quickly frame images for better composition. The zoom is especially helpful for capturing family sports, outdoor fun, and travel photos. Because an off-center subject can make your shot more interesting, a 9-point auto focus measures focus at 9 precision points instead of 5, giving you greater creative freedom to compose your image. Powered by the exclusive Sony Bionz® 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.
Capture expressions, automatically
Face detection technology automatically controls focus, exposure, color, 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 mode helps you capture smiles automatically as they happen. Used in conjunction with face detection technology, smile shutter is able to differentiate between children and adults, and can be set to automatically shoot a picture when your subject laughs, smiles, or even grins (only when focus is fixed). You select a person to watch and the expression to catch. Your Cyber-shot® DSCW150 does the rest.
See how easy it is
The large, bright 2.7" Clear Photo LCD display on the DSCW150 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. A simplified camera environment especially attractive to beginners or digital camera users who want to keep things simple, Easy Shooting mode provides easy-to-read, on-screen instructions and limits the number of camera settings to help prevent misuse of the camera while still providing excellent results. A beginner-friendly function guide helps manage various functions and settings by displaying the description of chosen functions or settings on the LCD screen. The function guide can also be switched off.
Capture crisp images, even in low light
With high sensitivity of ISO 3200, the DSCW150 lets you shoot effectively in low light without flash to preserve the mood, while the Sony Clear RAW noise reduction system helps suppress the color noise that can degrade low-light shots. Super SteadyShot® image stabilization compensates for shaky hands and minimizes blur with optical sensors that detect camera movement and send correcting signals to a stabilization lens, so there's no need to crop in on your shot to reduce blur. The combination of Super SteadyShot optical image stabilization and high ISO sensitivity provides Sony's double anti-blur solution.
Your life in HD
It's the high-definition viewing experience that makes photos more entertaining to watch, accompanied by your choice of visual effects and any of eight preset musical selections stored in memory or your favorite music downloaded from PC to your camera for use as background music. High-resolution images can be enjoyed in all their beauty simply by connecting the camera directly to a Sony BRAVIA® HDTV or other compatible HDTV. This provides an excellent alternative to viewing photos as prints or on a computer monitor, and is ideal for users who want to share photos in the comfort of their living room. Optional HD solutions include a Cyber-shot® cradle/charger with component cable output, or component cable directly to your HDTV.
Movies and more
Capture VGA (640 x 480) audio/video clips at a high frame rate (up to 30 frames per second), with the length of your video limited only by the capacity of your media. You can fire off three shots automatically at 1-second intervals (VGA standard mode) or 2-second intervals (full resolution mode). It's a great way to capture a child's first steps or a pet's best tricks. To adjust quickly for specific shooting situations, you can choose from several convenient photo modes, including auto, program auto, and scene selections such as twilight, landscape, soft snap, snow, high sensitivity, and beach environments.
Smart shooting
Intelligent Scene Recognition mode automatically detects 5 different types of scenes and selects the appropriate camera setting: backlight, backlight portrait, twilight, twilight portrait, or twilight using a tripod. This technology has two different modes, advanced and auto. In advanced mode, if the camera detects the particular scene, it will take one more picture. Auto mode takes a single shot, arbitrarily deciding on the proper setting.
Retouching and resizing
Add creative effects to photos after you shoot using any of 10 editing functions, including: trimming, red-eye correction, soft focus filter, unsharp mask, cross filter, partial color filter, fish-eye filter, retro, radial blur and happy face. The happy face effect uses photo retouching to put a smile on faces, with smile levels adjustable from 1 to 5. The DSCW150 lets you resize your photos in-camera for virtually any purpose. Any size picture images can be resized to widescreen 16:9 and 2 MP resolution for display on an HDTV. Conversely, high resolution, widescreen 16:9 images or any size picture can be resized to 4:3 size with VGA resolution for sharing with friends and family via e-mail.
