Sony's new Cybershot DSCH1 digital camera gets you closer to the action than ever with an optically stabilized 12x zoom lens, then allows you to capture stunning detail with a 5.1-megapixel CCD. The extra-large 2.5-inch LCD display helps you compose great images, and the optical viewfinder--unusual on a camera with such a huge LCD--expands your composition options.
1/2.4-Inch 5.1-Megapixel 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.
12x Optical/2x Digital/24x Total Zoom
Optical zoom helps you fill the frame with your subject for better pictures. And Sony's Precision Digital Zoom helps bring your subject closer with an extra 2x magnification.
0 to 48x Smart Zoom Feature (at VGA Resolution)
The Smart Zoom feature 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.
Super SteadyShot Optical Image Stabilization
Super SteadyShot Optical Image Stabilization fights motion blur, even during longer exposures at full zoom.
Real Imaging Processor Technology
The innovative Real Imaging Processor in the DSC-H1 not only improves picture quality and clarity but also improves camera response time, decreases shutter lag and improves battery stamina.

| The Sony Cyber-shot DSCH1's super-sized 2.5-inch Hybrid LCD is much larger than the 1.5-inch displays common to other cameras in its class. |
2.5-Inch LCD Monitor The 2.5-inch 115K LCD monitor makes framing shots and reviewing pictures easy.
Live Histogram Display
Available in capture and playback the Live Histogram Displays the concentration of pixels at each luminosity value making it easy to evaluate correct 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.
5-Area Multi-Point Autofocus
By evaluating 5 separate focus areas of the frame, Sony's Multi- Point AF system can intelligently focus on the subject and avoid mistakenly focusing on the background.
Manual Exposure Mode
Manual Exposure Mode provides extended control with 46-step adjustable shutter speed (30 seconds to 1/1000 second), and aperture control (f2.8 to f8.0).
AF (Autofocus) Illuminator
Briefly illuminating the subject, in low- or no-light conditions, the AF Illuminator helps establish a positive focus lock.
Selectable Focus Mode
Monitoring AF (Autofocus) helps you anticipate the action by focusing even before you press the shutter release.
Multi-Pattern Measuring
Independently light-metering 49 points of the frame, Multi-Pattern Measuring establishes the optimum exposure, even when highlight and shadow isn't centered in the frame.
Scene Selection Mode
With 7 Scene Modes, parameters can be matched to the shooting conditions. Choose from one of the following: Twilight, Twilight portrait, Soft snap, Landscape, Beach, Snow, and Candle.
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 ensure great flash shots.
Slow-Shutter Noise Reduction
During long 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.
Memory Stick Media and Memory Stick PRO Media
Digital. Powerful. Transportable. Memory Stick media is compact, portable and rugged--connecting a variety of hardware and software applications.
32MB Internal Memory Included
Shoot without a flash memory card with 32 MB internal memory1; Slot for optional Memory Stick, Memory Stick PRO media. Full 32MB of internal memory can be copied to optional Memory Stick media.
9-Shot Burst Mode
Capture up to 9 5MP shots (fine) or 100 shots VGA (standard) at 0.7 frames per second. Perfect for high speed subjects or fast moving action such as sports or small children.
Multi-Burst Mode
Captures 16 320 x 240 frames as part of a single 1280 x 960 image which plays back sequentially in the camera. Selectable 1/7.5, 1/15, 1/30 second. MPEG Movie VX Standard/Fine Mode with Audio Captures VGA (640 x 480) high frame rate (up to 30 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 e-mail.
Conversion Lens Compatible
You can add tele- or wide-conversion lenses for greater magnification or wider field of view, as well as protective and special effect filters.
