4x Optical Zoom
16x Smart Zoom
Don't sacrifice detail to get a close-up! Smart Zoom uses the full CCD to zoom into your subject by cropping the image, without comprimising the detail. Unlike a traditional digital zoom which only amplifies the image.
Carl Zeiss™ Vario-Sonnar Lens
The Carl Zeiss™ Vario-Sonnar Lens has an advanced optical multi-layered coating, reducing lens glare and flare. The DSCV1 lens makes it possible to take beautifully vivid images, with true-to life colour and detail.

NighShot™ NightShot™ captures infrared digital images in total darkness up to 15 feet. Now you can sneak up to your subject in the dark and they'll never see you coming! The DSCV1 lets you take pictures of moving subjects in the dark without them even knowing. NightFraming NightFraming lets you capture beautiful colour images in low or no light. Using the NightShot™ sytem the subject is lit up using infrared, the Hologram AF lens focuses on the subject and the area is lit with the flash. With the DSCV1 they won't know you're there until the flash goes off!
