Sony DSC HX1:
R 5 069.00
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX1 High Zoom Digital Camera has ultra-fast,
10-shots-per-second speed. Remarkable Exmor CMOS technology even makes
it easy to capture photos in low light while maintaining smooth color
gradation and crisp detail. Especially useful for beautiful landscape
shots or shooting skyscrapers, the Sweep Panorama mode takes seamless
224-degree shots with breathtaking 9.1 megapixel results-just press the
shutter and sweep in a horizontal or vertical direction.
And don't miss the 20x optical zoom or the Intelligent Auto mode that
eliminates the guesswork by automatically adjusting camera settings for
you. Optical SteadyShot image stabilization reduces blur for sharp,
lifelike images. The HX1 features a 9.1 megapixel Exmor CMOS image
sensor that brings out the full resolving power of the camera's
precision G-Lens to deliver extremely fast speed, high resolution and
stunning low-light sensitivity with improved image clarity and
drastically reduced noise. With 9.1 megapixels, you can create stunning,
photo-quality prints up to A3+ (13x19") size, or crop your images
and still come away with high resolution shots.
Designed and manufactured to the highest standards of optical
performance, the Sony G-Lens is optimized to perfectly complement the
advanced image sensors and image processing technology in Sony's
cameras. G lenses are used in top of the line digital single lens reflex
(DSLR) cameras and advanced pro-summer HD Camcorders. Capture the action
up close with the 20x optical zoom and with the 28mm wide angle lens the
HX1 even allows you to capture more of the scenes in landscape or group
portraits. The HX1's G Lens has a six blade aperture capable of
producing a beautiful bokeh (beautifully defocused backgrounds with a
soft natural feel). The aspherical lens elements made from ED (extra-low
dispersion) minimize chromatic aberration common to high-magnification
lenses.
Features:
| 20x High Zoom: 20x optical zoom extends your
reach and helps bring you closer to the action - a real benefit
for sporting events, wildlife, distant landscape views and
dramatic portrait shots |
| 28mm Wide Angle Lens: Widen your view and
capture more of the city, landscape, or group with a 28mm wide
angle G lens |
| 3.0" Clear Photo LCD tilt display (230k
pixels): Compose and show off your images on the large 3.0"
(230K) Clear Photo LCD Plus display, which tilts up or down
approximately 90 degrees for easier high and low angle shooting
and features a special anti-reflective coating for sharp
visibility |
| CMOS Sensor: Enjoy extremely high
resolution, fine tonal gradation and fast speed that faithfully
reproduces every detail of your subject and reduces visual noise.
The Exmor CMOS sensor brings out the full potential of the lens to
ensure clear, high-precession image quality |
| BIONZ image processor: The BIONZ image
processor delivers the high resolution and fast performance you
expect from a Sony digital camera |
| High Speed Shooting (10fps): The HX1 can
capture full 9.1 megapixel resolution images at up to 10 fps,
helping to ensure you never miss the decisive moment. What's more,
the HX1 employs a mechanical shutter that helps reduce distortion
when continuously shooting moving subjects |
| Sweep Panorama Mode: Reach beyond the
traditional wide angle lens and capture more breathtaking shots
with the world's first Sweep Panorama Mode in a digital still
camera |
| Handheld Twilight Mode: Capture cleaner and
sharper night shots without using a tripod |
| Anti-Motion Blur Mode: Anti Motion Blur mode
with allows you to capture shots with reduced noise and less
blur., ideal when subject or object moves, in dim light
environment or when using telephoto |
| HD Movie (1080p): Capture your movies in
stunning 1080p HD resolution and with the built in stereo
microphone record audio that is crisp and clear. Continue to
extend your reach and use the 20x zoom to capture those moments at
a distance |
| Intelligent Auto Mode: Intelligent Auto
(iAuto) mode goes beyond traditional auto settings by recognizing
and adjusting to scene conditions and lighting, enhancing natural
skin tones and reducing blur |
| Intelligent Scene Recognition: Intelligent
Scene Recognition (iSCN) Mode automatically detects eight
different types of scenes and, within just 1/30th of a second,
selects the appropriate camera settings |
| Face Detection technology: Face Detection
technology detects up to eight individual faces and controls
flash, focus, exposure and white balance to deliver accurate,
natural skin tones with reduced red-eye |
| Selected Face Memory: Optimizing focus,
exposure and white balance for a specific face is easier now with
selectable facial memory, even when the subject leaves the frame.
This feature is perfect at weddings and other events where the
goal is always to focus on a certain person |
| Anti-blink Function: It's frustrating to
think you've captured that perfect shot, only to review it later
and discover one of your subjects blinked just as you pressed the
shutter. The Anti-blink function works to help counter blinking
and squinting |
| Red-eye Reduction: Helps reduce common
red-eye problems |
| Smile Shutter Technology: The popular Smile
Shutter technology automatically detects and captures a smiling
face. Simply activate by pressing the Smile Shutter button and the
camera will capture a smile the moment it happens |
| Double Anti-blur Solution: The combination
of Optical SteadyShot image stabilization and High ISO sensitivity
helps compensate for shaky hands, minimizes blur and allows
flash-free shooting to preserve the mood |
| Optical SteadyShot Image Stabilization:
Optical SteadyShot image stabilization uses a built-in gyro sensor
to detect camera shake and automatically shifts the lens to help
prevent blur without sacrificing image quality |
| High Sensitivity Mode (ISO 3200): High ISO
allows for faster shutter speed, so you can take photos indoors or
in low light without the need for a flash |
| Dynamic Range Optimizer Standard and Plus:
Dynamic Range Optimizer (DRO) Standard and Plus uses a
sophisticated algorithm to determine the best exposure and
contrast settings for almost any shooting environment |
| Convenient Photo Modes: 13 convenient photo
modes to quickly adjust for specific shooting conditions. Photo
modes include iAuto, Easy, Program & Scene Selection such as
High Sensitivity, Landscape, Soft Snap, Twilight Portrait,
Twilight, Beach, Snow, Fireworks, Underwater and Gourmet Mode |
| 9-Point Auto Focus: Because an off-centered
subject can make your shot more interesting, a 9-point auto focus
system measures nine precision focus points, giving you greater
creative freedom to compose your images |
| Function Guide: This beginner-friendly
optional function helps navigate through the various functions and
settings tilt displaying the description of chosen functions or
settings on the LCD screen |
| Intelligent Auto Focus: Auto Focus has
become more intelligent, too. Cyber-shot automatically detects the
changing situations such as subject brightness or zoom ratio and
activates the auto focus before the user presses the shutter
button |
