DSC-W200 Face Detection Friends and family will look their best because Sony has taught cameras how to recognize - and optimize - the human face. FACE DETECTION Sony solves common exposure, focus, flash and white balance problems with Face Detection technology. (Sample photos for illustration purposes.) See page 26 for details or visit www.sony.com/dsctraining. Monitor picture simulated. Exposure Have you ever seen pictures with the faces bleached out because the flash was too strong? Or blurry faces because the camera didn't know where to focus? Or faces too dark because light was coming from behind? Sony's supremely powerful BIONZ™ processor - originally used in the award-winning a100 Digital SLR - solves these problems automatically. A BIONZ function called Face Detection analyzes the scene, identifying and tracking up to eight faces at a time. Then the camera automatically adjusts for optimum focus, exposure, white balance and flash. The result? Great pictures, every time! Actual photo taken with a Sony® digital camera. Shutter 1/60 sec.
