SONY ANNOUNCES HIGH QUALITY DIGITAL STILL
CAMERA BRIMMING WITH NEW INNOVATIVE FEATURES
8.1 effective Megapixels, Super large 3.0 inch touch-screen LCD
and ZEISS 3x Optical Zoom
The Sony Cyber-shot N1 offers the perfect combination
of smooth design, fun shooting and sharing experiences,
with superb image quality. The camera features an 8.1
effective Megapixel Super HAD CCD, the highest ever
resolution for a super compact Cyber-shot. The massive
3.0 inch Clear Photo LCD Plus screen also features a
handy touch-screen operation, again two more firsts for
a Sony Cyber-shot. The Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar 3x
Optical Zoom lens produces sparkling, sharp images - and it’s all packaged in a
compact aluminium body that’s only 22.7mm slim. Great new viewing
technologies, Pocket Album and Slideshow with Music features, ensure the most
enjoyable and varied shooting and sharing experience ever from Sony.
The big screen you can touch
The large hybrid 3.0 inch touch-sensitive LCD on the Cyber-shot N1 makes this
stylish digital camera even easier to use, allowing you to operate various
functions when shooting and playing back by simply touching the LCD screen.
For example with the Free Spot AF function, you can focus on an object directly
by just touching it on the LCD screen. Likewise, functions like menu, playback,
forward and reverse can be controlled by just touching or tracing a finger across
the LCD screen. The paint and stamp function is great for families:using the
supplied stylus, artistic and decorative final touches can be added to photos.
The brand new Clear Photo LCD Plus technology greatly improves the resolution
and brightness of the 3.0 inch LCD screen. The improved 65% NTSC colour ratio
leads to clearer and more vivid picture quality. The LCD incorporates a smooth
anti-reflection layer, for a better image quality than conventional textured layers.
It also suppresses reflections more effectively to increase the display contrast,
especially outside in bright sunlight. Perfect for sharing photographs with friends
and family.
View and share pictures, wherever, whenever
Imagine how heavy a photo album carrying 500 of your favourite photos might
be! The new Pocket Album feature from Sony allows you to carry and view up to
500 of your favourite still photos on the camera's large LCD screen. A separate,
internal memory is dedicated to holding your pictures in VGA size thumbnails,
