Features

Sony Face Detection technology enables Cyber-shot cameras to locate and optimize your photo for the faces within your photo. Optimize focusing, exposure, flash control and white balance for capturing faces clear and bright ensuring that the precious moments you capture are perfectly framed.

The Bionz processor ensures incredible photography with incredible noise reduction, while enhancing colour reproduction and high speed photography. With the Dynamic Range Optimizer, the Bionz processor maintains and enhances the exposure and contrast of your photography for the optimal picture taking experience. With brighter pictures and image quality, print reproduction is perfected at the time of the photo taking. The speed of the binoz allows for up to nine points of focus allowing you the opportunity to take clear photos despite not necessarily having a locked autofocus.

Thanks to its enhanced ISO 3200 rating, the Cyber-shot digital camera provides remarkable picture clarity for a more vivid and realistic picture. High sensitivity mode enables clear images to be achieved even when shooting in difficult low-light conditions, such as indoors without a flash. High shutter speeds, also made possible by high sensitivity up to ISO 3200, reduce blur caused by camera shake and subject movements ensuring great photography.

Thanks to its powerful 8.1 Megapixel Super HAD (Hole Accumulation Diode) CCD and 15x Optical Zoom, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H7 delivers spectacularly clear, high resolution digital images with every click. The CCD allows a higher light level to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity, reducing noise, and utilizing more digital information in reproducing the subject.

Controls and steadies a high range of shake and vibration frequencies when zooming in on the subject from a distance. Super SteadyShot Optical Stabilization ensures your digital home videos and still images come out with an advanced level of smoothness and clarity.
