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.
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.
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.
Carl
ZeissŪ Vario-TessarŪ Lens
The Vario-TessarŪ lens is specially
produced for very compact cameras. This
specialized design allows quick
auto-focus, appealing zoom range while
still maintaining a compact design.
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.
Optical
Viewfinder
Provides accurate framing at eye level,
great for added stability and following
fast moving subjects.
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.
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.
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.
AF
(Auto Focus) Illuminator
An amber light briefly illuminates the
subject, in low – or no-light
conditions, helping to establish a
positive focus lock.
Selectable
Focus Mode
Monitoring AF (Auto Focus) 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.
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.
