Features of the Sony DSC-T20
| The Sony DSC-T20 comes in four Stylish Colors in Ultra-Slim Dimensions |
| Makes a dramatic fashion statement that fits any lifestyle with the stylish silver, black, white or pink metallic case of the DSC-T20. It fits easily into your pocket, briefcase, purse or handbag, so you’ll always have an amazing camera on hand to save your memories. |
|
| 8.1 MP Super HAD™ CCD |
| More megapixels give you more detail and definition when you make big prints or crop in tightly on your subject. The advanced Super HAD™ (Hole Accumulated Diode) CCD design allows more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise. |
|
| Carl Zeiss® 3X Optical Zoom Lens Design |
| Bring distant subjects closer with Sony DSC-T20 and frame shots quickly for better composition -- a real advantage for family sports, outdoor fun and travel photos. |
|
| Face Detection |
| By automatically controlling focus, exposure, color and flash, this feature reveals faces in shadow, makes skin tones look more natural and eliminates harsh facial glare -- to help bring out every expression on every face in every shot, so you’ll capture the personalities and emotions that make memories come alive. |
|
| The Sony Double Anti-Blur Solution |
| With Super SteadyShot® optical image stabilization and high sensitivity (ISO 3200), the DSC-T20 compensates for shaky hands, minimizes blur, brightens images and allows flash-free shooting to preserve the mood. And the Clear RAW™; Noise Reduction will take care of the picture noise that can ruin low-light shots. |
|
| HD Output |
| Present your pictures with direct HD (high definition) output to compatible HDTV screens so you can view your DSC-T20 still photos in spectacular HD clarity and detail. |
|
| HD Slide Show with Music |
| Watch as your photos come alive on compatible HDTV screens, accompanied by your choice of visual effects and any of four preset musical selections stored in memory or your favorite MP3 tunes downloaded from PC to your camera for use as background music. |
|
| 9-Point Auto Focus |
| Because an off-center subject can make your shot more interesting, the DSC-T20 can measure auto-focus precision at 9 points on your screen, giving you greater creative freedom to compose your image. |
|
| D-Range Optimization for the Sony DSC-T20 |
| Powered by the exclusive Sony Bionz™ high-speed processing engine, D-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. |
|
| In-Camera Retouching |
| Add creative effects to photos after you shoot. Included effects are soft edge filter to soften backgrounds, cross filter to place starry "dazzles" at highlight points, partial color filter to mute surrounding colors and fish-eye filter to create interesting results. |
|
| In-Camera Red-Eye Reduction |
| Reduce irritating "glowing eyes" that can ruin even the most creative photos at the touch of a button. |
|
| Large 2.5" LCD Screen |
| Use the large, bright LCD screen for composing shots, checking results and sharing your photos on location. An optical viewfinder allows shooting in traditional rangefinder camera style. |
|
| Simple Setup Controls |
| Press the home button and select functions by simply moving a cursor vertically or horizontally to the appropriate icon. Function names and the on-screen function guide display make it easier to learn camera setup operations. |
|
| 31MB Internal Memory |
| Capture a large number of images without a flash memory card. |
|
| Memory Stick Duo ™ Media Convenience |
| A built-in slot accepts the optional compact and high-capacity Memory Stick Duo media or Memory Stick PRO Duo ™ media. |
|
| 15X Smart Zoom ® Feature |
| Intelligently zoom and crop into the central portion of interest in your photo, avoiding the image degradation of other digital zooms. |
|
| MPEG Movie VX Fine Mode |
| Capture VGA (640 x 480) audio/video clips at a high frame rate (up to 30 frames per second), with length limited only by the capacity of your media. |
|
| Stamina ® Battery Power |
| Extend your shooting time with 380 shots from a fully charged NP-BG1 Lithium Ion battery -- enough shooting capacity to cover a long weekend or a whole vacation. |
|
