Cyber-shot
®
Digital Still Camera
F E A T U R E S
1/2.7" 3.2 Megapixel Effective Super
HAD™ CCD
Super HAD (Hole
Accumulation Diode) CCD's
provide excellent image quality
by allowing more light to pass to each pixel,
increasing sensitivity and reducing noise.
0 - 3.2 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 size—thus avoiding
the image degradation of Digital Zooms.
3 Area Multi-Point Auto Focus
Evaluating 3 separate focus
areas of the frame, Multi-Point
AF can intelligently focus on
the subject and avoid mistakenly focusing
on the background.
AF (Auto Focus) Illuminator
Briefly illuminating the
subject in low–or no–light
conditions, AF Illuminator
helps establish a positive focus lock.
Multi-Pattern Measuring
Independently light-metering
49 points of the frame, Multi-
Pattern Measuring establishes
the optimum exposure value, even in
scenes where pronounced highlight and
shadow are not centered in the frame.
Auto Daylight Synchro Fill Flash
If the Multi-Pattern Measuring system
determines the subject is backlit or in
shadow, fill flash automatically fires to
provide optimum exposure.
Pre-Flash Metering
With a momentary pre-flash, the camera
illuminates the subject and sets exposure
through the lens for accurate flash
metering. Adjustable flash level and red-
eye reduction insure great flash shots.

Memory Stick ® Media
Digital. Powerful. Transportable.™
Memory Stick media is compact,
portable and rugged—
connecting a variety of hardware and
software applications.
Scene Selection Mode
With 5 Scene Modes, camera
parameters can be matched
to the shooting conditions.
Twilight, Twilight Portrait, Landscape,
Snow and Beach presets make it easy to
optimize difficult shooting environments.
Slow Shutter Noise Reduction
During long Twilight mode
exposures, Slow Shutter NR
captures the scene, and then
the CCD noise pattern with a dark frame
exposure. By subtracting the two, even
long exposures can be clear.
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.
1.6" LCD Monitor
Monitors the scene for accurate framing.
61K pixel and anti-glare coating help
provide excellent viewing and image
playback clarity, even outdoors.
Auto Bright Monitoring
To help framing in low–or no–light
situations, CCD gain is briefly increased
to provide an extra bright display on the
LCD viewfinder just before exposure.
Optical Viewfinder
Provides accurate framing at eye level,
great for added stability and following
fast moving subjects.
QXGA (2048 x 1536) Image Size
With its high resolution CCD, the
DSC-P32 captures in 4 different image
sizes, with selectable Fine or Standard
JPEG compression.
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.
Clip Motion Mode
Capture up to 10 images and
convert them to an animated
GIF with 2 fps playback. By
varying the interval between shots you
can create animations not possible with
other motion capture modes.
Playback Zoom, Trim and Resize
During playback, magnify
any portion of the image up
to 5X and trim to the area of
your interest. Then, save the
new image as a new file in
any of the image sizes
available from the menu.
Rechargeable NiMH Batteries
Long-lasting power is
provided by 2100 mAh rated
Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH)
Stamina ® batteries with BC-CS2 external
charger. Or, choose "AA" Alkaline cells or
optional AC adaptor.
