DSC-S40 Cyber-shot® Digital Still Camera v Step-up Feature 3New Feature The battery life to keep up with your lifestyle. s 1/2.7" 4.1 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. 3 3X Optical/2X Digital/6X Total Zoom 3X Optical Zoom helps you frame your shots for better digital pictures. And Sony's Precision Digital Zoom provides an additional 2X magnification without the jagged edges of other designs, resulting in smoother images. 3 0-10X 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. 3 Carl Zeiss® Vario-Tessar® Lens The Vario-Tessar lens is specially produced for very compact cameras. This specialized design allows quick auto-focus, appealing zoom range while still maintaining a compact design. s Real Imaging Processor™ Technology The innovative Real Imaging Processor in the DSC-S40 not only improves picture quality and clarity but also improves camera response time, decreases shutter lag and improves battery stamina. s Optical Viewfinder Provides accurate framing at eye level, great for added stability and following fast moving subjects. s 1.5" LCD Monitor The 1.5" 77K LCD Monitor makes framing shots and reviewing pictures easy. s Stamina® Battery Life1 Incredible battery life compared to previous cameras. Capture approximately 110 shots with supplied alkalines; approximately 550 shots with optional NiMH rechargeables! s 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. s 5 Area Multi-Point Auto Focus 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. s AF (Auto Focus) Illuminator An amber light briefly illuminates the subject, in low-or no-light conditions, helping to establish a positive focus lock. s Selectable Focus Mode Monitoring AF (Auto Focus) helps you anticipate the action by focusing even before you press the shutter release. s 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. s 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. s 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. s 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. s Memory Stick® Media and Memory Stick PRO™ Media Digital. Powerful.
