Cyber- DSC-W80 Highlights
7.2-megapixel Super HAD CCD More megapixels give you more detail
and definition when you make big prints or crop in tight on your
subject. 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 A top-quality Carl Zeiss 3x
optical zoom lens design helps the DSC-W80 bring distant subjects
closer and lets you frame s 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 , so youll capture the personalities and emotions that
make memories come alive.
The Sony Double Anti-Blur Solution With Super Steady optical
image stabilization and high sensitivity (ISO 3200), the DSC-W80
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 s.
HD output Thanks to Sony, your photo album can go high-def --
with direct HD output to compatible HDTV screens, so you can view
DSC-W80 still photos in spectacular high definition clarity and
detail. Your life never looked so exciting!
Note: HD output requires an optional Sony HD connector cable;
HDTV sold separately.
HD slide show with music Its the high-definition viewing
experience that makes photos come alive on compatible 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
more interesting, the DSC-W80 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-W80 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-W80 provides
in-camera correction at the touch of a button to reduce lingering
red-eye effect that other systems might miss.
Large 2.5-inch LCD screen The DSC-W80 provides a large, bright
LCD screen for composing s, checking results, sharing your
photos on location -- and an optical viewfinder allows shooting
in traditional rangefinder camera style.
Simple setup controls A touch of the Home button opens your
user-friendly GUI -- and you can select functions by simply
moving a cursor vertically or horizontally to the appropriate
icon. Function names and the on-screen Function Guide display
make it easier to learn camera setup operations.

number of images without a flash memory card, so its great for
traveling or for quick candid snaps.
