The DSC-W200 combines the amazing detail of 12.1 MP
resolution with high sensitivity for shooting
without a flash even in very low light. Super
SteadyShot
® image stabilization keeps
blur to a minimum, and advanced high-tech features
like Face Detection, D-range optimization, and
in-camera retouching and red-eye reduction help
bring out the best in every shot you take. For
shooting and sharing on location, there's a large
2.5"2 LCD screen that makes viewing exceptionally
easy. And HD (high definition) output1 lets you
share memories in spectacular high definition
clarity and detail on compatible HDTV screens.
12.1 MP Super HAD™ CCD
With more megapixels than most digital cameras,
the DSC-W200 captures greater image definition so
you can make big prints and tight crops without
losing detail. 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® 3X Optical Zoom Lens Design
A top-quality Carl Zeiss® 3X Optical zoom lens
design helps the DSC-W200 bring distant subjects
closer and lets you frame shots quickly for better
composition -- a real advantage for family sports,
outdoor fun and travel photos.
Face Detection-2
By automatically controlling focus, exposure,
color and flash, this new Sony feature reveals faces
in shadow, makes skin tones look more natural and
eliminates harsh facial glare -- to help bring out
every expression on every face in every shot, so
you’ll capture the personalities and emotions that
make memories come alive.
Ultra-High-Sensitivity (ISO 6400) Mode
At 3 MP resolution, you can shoot effectively
without flash even in very low light to preserve the
mood and capture fast action at high shutter speeds
-- with the Sony Clear RAW™ Noise Reduction system
to take care of the picture noise that can ruin
low-light shots.
Super SteadyShot® Image Stabilization
With Super SteadyShot® Image Stabilization, the
DSC-W200 compensates for shaky hands and minimizes
blur with optical sensors that detect camera
movement and send correcting signals to a
stabilization lens -- so there’s no need to crop in
on your shot to reduce blur.
HD Output1
Thanks to Sony, your photo album can go high-def
-- with direct HD output1 to your HDTV screen, so
you can view DSC-W200 still photos in spectacular
high definition clarity and detail. Your life never
looked so exciting!
HD Slide Show with Music
It’s the high-definition viewing experience that
makes photos come alive on HDTV screens, accompanied
by your choice of visual effects and any of four
preset musical selections stored in memory or your
favorite MP3 tunes downloaded from PC to your camera
for use as background music.
9-Point Auto Focus
Because an off-center subject can make your shot
more interesting, the DSC-W200 can measure
auto-focus precision at 9 points on your screen --
giving you greater creative freedom to compose your
image.
D-Range Optimization
Powered by the exclusive Sony Bionz® high-speed
processing engine, D-Range Optimization preserves
image data in bright highlights and reveals more
detail in shadows or backlit areas -- for great
results even in difficult lighting conditions.
In-Camera Retouching
The DSC-W200 lets you add creative effects to
photos after you shoot -- including soft edge filter
to soften backgrounds, cross filter to place starry
“dazzles” at highlight points, partial color filter
to mute surrounding colors, even fish-eye filter to
create interesting fish-eye lens effects.
In-Camera Red-Eye Reduction
Irritating “glowing eyes” can ruin even the most
creative photos -- so the DSC-W200 provides
in-camera correction at the touch of a button to
reduce lingering red-eye effect that other systems
might miss.
Large 2.5”2
TFT LCD Screen
The DSC-W200 provides a large, bright 2.5”1
TFT LCD screen that makes it easy to compose shots,
check results and read menus even in bright sunlight
as well as view and share photos in sharp, natural
color.
Optical Viewfinder
In addition to its bright 2.52
LCD screen, the DSC-W200 has a built-in optical
viewfinder to allow shooting in traditional
rangefinder camera style and save battery power by
turning off your LCD screen off.
Simple Setup Controls
A quick press of the Home button opens your
user-friendly GUI -- and you can select functions by
simply moving a cursor vertically or horizontally to
the appropriate icon. Function names and the
on-screen Function Guide display make it easier to
learn camera setup operations.
31 MB Internal Memory
The DSC-W200 allows you to capture a large number
of images without a flash memory card, so it’s great
for traveling or for quick candid snapshots.
Memory Stick Duo™ Media Convenience
A built-in slot accepts optional Memory Stick
Duo™ media or Memory Stick PRO Duo™ media -- the
compact, high-capacity storage media that make it
easily to upload photos to your computer or make
lab-quality prints at home on your Sony Picture
Station™ digital printer (sold separately).
18X Smart Zoom® Feature4
The Sony Smart Zoom® feature intelligently “crops
into” the central portion of interest in your photo,
avoiding the image degradation of other digital
zooms.
MPEG Movie VX Fine Mode
Captures VGA (640 x 480) audio/video clips at
high frame rate (up to 30 frames per second5),
with length limited only by the capacity of your
media.

with a fully charged NP-BG1 Lithium Ion battery --
enough shooting capacity to cover a long weekend or
a whole vacation.

world map by using an optional GPS unit.
