MVC-CD350 CD Mavica® Digital Still Camera F E AT U R E S 1/2.7" 3.2 Megapixel Effective Super HAD™ CCD Super HAD (Hole Accumulation Diode) CCD's provide excellent image quality by allowing more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise. Slim Profile Design Less than 3" deep, the MVC-CD350 is the smallest CD Mavica camera ever! By placing the camera block to the side of the CD deck, the camera is slim and easy to use. 3X Optical Zoom Lens To help frame your shots for better digital pictures. Optical Zoom helps you bring distant subjects closer & pull back for wide shots. 0 - 3.2X Smart Zoom (at VGA size) Smart Zoom 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 Area Multi-Point Auto Focus Evaluating 3 separate focus areas of the frame, Multi-Point AF can intelligently focus on the subject and avoid mistakenly focusing on the background. AF (Auto Focus) Illuminator Briefly illuminating the subject in low-or no-light conditions, AF Illuminator helps establish a positive focus lock. Continuous Auto Focus To maintain accurate focus lock with fast moving subjects, Continuous AF keeps focusing until the moment of exposure. Multi-Pattern Measuring Independently light-metering 49 points of the frame, MultiPattern Measuring establishes the optimum exposure value, even in scenes where pronounced highlight and shadow are not centered in the frame. ➤ STEP-UP FEATURE Recordable CD Media CD Mavica cameras shoot directly to 156MB CD-R/RW discs, so there's room for hundreds of images and movie clips. The optical disc also provides "instant archiving" - there's no need to transfer to the PC as with flash media. Scene Selection Mode With 5 Scene Modes, camera parameters can be matched to the shooting conditions. Twilight, Twilight Portrait, Landscape, Snow and Beach presets make it easy to optimize difficult shooting environments. Slow Shutter Noise Reduction During long Twilight mode 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. 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. Confirm Before Write Mode Allows you to check each image before writing to the disc, to avoid wasting space with mistaken shots. 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 & redeye reduction insure great flash shots. Auto Daylight Synchro Fill Flash Because the Multi-Pattern Measuring system determines the subject is backlit or in shadow, fill flash automatically fires to provide optimum exposure. QXGA (2048 x 1536) Image Size With its high resolution CCD, the MVD-CD350 captures in 4 different image sizes, in TIFF mode or with Fine or Standard JPEG compression. 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 frame intervals provide convenient motion analysis. MPEG Movie VX Mode Captures VGA (640x480) high frame rate (16 fps) audio/ video clips with length limited only by the capacity of the media. MPEG Movie Video Mail mode captures smaller files sizes suitable for email. Clip Motion Capture up to 10 images and convert them to an animated GIF with 2 fps playback. By varying the interval between shots you can create animations not possible with other motion capture modes. 2.5" LCD Monitor Extra-large LCD provides excellent viewing and playback clarity, even outdoors. For eye-level viewing, add the optional DSAC-MVC eye-level finder. Playback Zoom, Trim and Resize During playback, magnify any portion of the image up to 5X and trim to the area of your interest. Then, save the new image as a new file in any of the image sizes available from the menu. Rechargeable Infolithium® Battery Provides reliable, long-lasting power for continuous shooting, without "memory effect". AC-L15 adaptor/ charger provides stable power for USB transfer.
