Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W90 Specification

The DSC-W90 combines the power of 8.1 MP resolution and the precision of Carl Zeiss® 3X Optical zoom lens design with new
hi-tech features like Face Detection to bring out the best in every face, D-Range Optimization for more detail in highlights and
PRELIM
shadows, and in-camera retouching and red-eye reduction to improve shots you've already taken. The Sony Double Anti-Blur
Solution lets you shoot sharp, clear photos in low light without flash to preserve the mood. And HD Output makes photos
NEW
look spectacular on HDTV screens.
8.1 MP Super HAD™ CCD
With more megapixels than most digital
cameras, the DSC-W90 captures greater
image definition so you can make big prints
and tight crops without losing detail. The
advanced Sony® 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
A top-quality Carl Zeiss® 3X Optical zoom
lens design helps the DSC-W90 bring
distant subjects closer and lets you 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 new Sony
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® Image
Stabilization and high sensitivity (ISO
3200), the DSC-W90 compensates for shaky
hands, minimizes blur, brightens images
and allows flash-free shooting to preserve
the mood -- with Sony Clear RAW™ Noise
Reduction to take care of the picture noise
that can ruin low-light shots.
HD Output
Thanks to Sony, your photo album can go
high-def -- with direct HD output to your
HDTV screen, so you can view DSC-W90 still
photos in spectacular high definition clarity
and detail. Your life never looked so
exciting!

HD Slide Show with Music
It's the high-definition viewing experience
that makes photos come alive on 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-W90
can measure auto-focus precision at 9
points on your screen -- giving you greater
creative freedom to compose your image.
D-Range Optimization
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
The DSC-W90 lets you add creative effects
to photos after you shoot -- including soft
edge filter to soften backgrounds, cross
filter to place starry " dazzles" at highlight
points, partial color filter to mute
surrounding colors, even fish-eye filter to
create interesting fish-eye lens effects.
In-Camera Red-Eye Reduction
Irritating " glowing eyes" can ruin even the
most creative photos -- so the DSC-W90
provides in-camera correction at the touch
of a button to reduce lingering red-eye
effect that other systems might miss.
Large 2.5" LCD Screen 2
The DSC-W90 provides a large, bright LCD
screen for composing shots, checking
results, sharing your photos on location --
and an optical viewfinder allows shooting in
traditional rangefinder camera style.
