Get serious about your pictures with the DSCH10 and its 8.1 megapixels of resolution. More megapixels give you more detail and definition when you make big prints or crop in tight on your subject. The advanced Sony® Super HAD (Hole Accumulated Diode) CCD design allows more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise. The Carl Zeiss® 10x optical zoom lens provides a superb ability to bring long-distance subjects up close, which is a significant advantage for situations where you can't be near the action, such as sporting events or wildlife photography. 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.
Enjoy the view
The large, bright 3.0" Clear Photo LCD Plus display tilts up for comfortable low-angle shooting, and an anti-reflective coating provides for excellent visibility to help you compose, view, and share photos with superb clarity and color reproduction, even in bright sunlight. 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.
Ahh, the memory
A built-in slot accepts optional Memory Stick Duo or Memory Stick PRO Duo media. It's the compact, high-capacity storage media that makes it easy to upload photos to your PC and is compatible with millions of devices worldwide. But, even if you forget your flash memory card, you can get the shot because 31 MB of internal memory lets you capture a limited number of shots with in-camera convenience, then easily transfer your shots to a PC or optional Memory Stick Duo media.
A mode for every mood
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. To capture fast-moving subjects in split-second detail, the DSCH10's innovative Advanced Sports mode combines high shutter speed (up to 1/4000 sec.) with intelligent continuous autofocus that responds more quickly to rapid motion. This mode is a great way to catch the perfect moment in sports, children's games, pet tricks and more. 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.
And even more options
The DSCH10 lets you fire off three shots automatically at 1-second intervals (VGA standard mode) or 2-second intervals (full resolution mode). What a great way to capture a child's first steps or a pet's best tricks. With high sensitivity (ISO 3200) mode, you can shoot effectively in low light without flash to preserve the mood, while the Clear RAW noise reduction system helps suppress the color noise that can degrade low-light shots. You can even capture movies with the DCRH10. 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.
