• 1/1.8" 5.0 Megapixel Effective Super HAD™ CCD
Super HAD (Hole Accumulation Diode) CCDs provide excellent image quality by allowing more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise.
• Traditional, Yet Compact Design
A unique combination of performance and compactness, the DSC-V1 puts high performance imaging right in your hand!
• 0 - 4.0 Smart Zoom (at VGA size)
Smart Zoom intelligently uses the full CCD to let you zoom into the portion of interest by cropping the image sizeâ€"thus avoiding the image degradation of Digital Zooms.
• Continuous Auto Focus
To maintain accurate focus lock with fast moving subjects, Continuous AF keeps focusing until the moment of exposure.
• 14-Bit DXP A/D Conversion
Sony’s 14-bit Digital EXtended Processor captures the range between highlight and shadow with up to 16,384 values, for extended dynamic contrast and detail.
• Manual Exposure Controls
Flexible Exposure control is provided with Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority and Manual Exposure modes. Program Shift lets you select aperture/shutter speed combinations for direct control of motion and depth of field, while still in Program AE mode.
• Auto Daylight Synchro Fill Flash
When the Multi-Pattern Measuring system determines the subject is backlit or in shadow, fill flash automatically fires to provide optimum exposure.
• Dynamic Flash White Balance
By evaluating the Pre-flash, white balance can be set to the color temperature of the flash for greater color accuracy.
• Live Histogram Display
The live histogram displays number of pixels at each luminosity making it easy to evaluate correct exposure.
• 5 Megapixel (2592 x 1944) Image Size
With its high resolution CCD, the DSC-V1 captures in 4 different image sizes, Fine or Standard JPEG compression.
• NightFraming System
To capture beautiful color images in low or no light, NightFraming illuminates the subject with the NightShot® system for proper framing, focuses with Hologram AF and lights the scene with flash.
• 1.5" LCD Monitor
High resolution 123K pixel design and anti-glare coating help provide excellent nviewing and image playback clarity.
• Multi-Burst Mode
Captures 16 320x240 frames as part of a single 1280x960 image which plays back sequentially in the camera. Selectable 1/7.5, 1/15, 1/30 second frame intervals provide convenient motion analysis.
• MPEG Movie VX Mode
Captures VGA (640 x 480) high frame rate (16 frames per second) audio/video clips with length limited only by the capacity of the media. Video Mail mode captures smaller file sizes suitable for email.
• Hot Shoe and ACC Terminal
Connect Sony's HVL-F32X flash or Remote Controls with ACC terminal, or synchronize other flash units or studio lighting with the Hot Shoe terminal.
