Cyber- W150 Highlights
8.1-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 5x Optical Zoom Lens
5x optical zoom gives you the power to get even closer to the
action -- a real benefit for distant landscape views and dramatic
portraits.
Wide-Angle Lens
Wide-angle (30mm-150mm) lens captures more of the scene.
2.7-inch Clear Photo LCD Display
A large, bright 2.7-inch Clear Photo LCD (230K) display includes
an anti-reflective coating that provides for excellent visibility
to help you compose, view, and share photos with superb clarity
and color reproduction, even in bright sunlight.
Face Detection
Face Detection technology automatically controls flash, focus,
exposure, and white balance to help reveal faces in shadows, make
skin tones look more natural, reduce red-eye, and eliminates
harsh facial glare.
Smile Shutter Mode
Smile Shutter technology captures smiles the moment they happen.
The mode can be set to capture when your subject laughs, smiles
or even grins, and like Face Detection Smile Shutter is able to
differentiate between children and adults to set priority.
Sony Double Anti-Blur Solution
The combination of Super Steady optical image stabilization
and high ISO sensitivity helps compensate for shaky hands,
minimizes blur, and allow flash-free shooting to preserve the
mood.
Super Steady Optical Image Stabilization
Super Steady Image Stabilization compensates for shaky hands
and minimizes blur with a built-in gyro sensor that detects
movement and sends correcting signals to a stabilization lens --
so theres no need to crop in on your to reduce blur.
High Sensitivity (ISO 3200) Mode
With high sensitivity of ISO 3200, you can shoot effectively in
low light without flash to preserve the mood, while the Sony
Clear RAW Noise Reduction system helps suppress the color noise
that can degrade low-light s.
Intelligent Scene Re Mode
Intelligent Scene Re mode automatically detects 5
different types of scenes and selects the appropriate camera
setting: Backlight, Backlight Portrait, Twilight, Twilight
Portrait, Twilight using a Tripod. Intelligent Scene Re
has two different modes, advanced and auto. In Advanced mode, if
the camera detects the particular scene, it will take one more
picture. In Auto mode takes a single , arbitrarily deciding
on the proper setting.

Powered by the exclusive Sony BIONZ high-speed processing
engine, Dynamic Range Optimization preserves image data in bright
highlights and reveals more detail in shadows or backlit areas --

Plus mode enhances optimization, analyzing each region of an
image and performing additional image processing.
