The Sony Cybershot DSC-T7 features 5.1 Megapixel image capture, a Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens with 3X optical zoom and 5 area multi-point auto focus, all in a camera body only 5/8 of an inch thick. It even includes a full-sized 2.5" hybrid LCD monitor with a Clear Photo technology for improved viewing in bright sunlight.
The T7's ultra-compact design doesn't compromise its performance thanks to Sony's Real Imaging Processor LSI, 14-Bit DXP A/D conversion processor, and multi-pattern measuring. All three combine to provides fast start-up times, fast shutter speeds, and accurate exposures for excellent digital photographs.
Furthermore, the T7 includes the Cybershot Station for a quick and easy way to charge your camera while simultaneously transferring images to your personal computer or viewing photos on your compatible television.
1/2.5" 5.1 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.
Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar Lens
The Vario-Tessar lens is specially produced for compact cameras and provides rapid auto focus with appealing zoom range. Utilizing a highly transmissive optical grade prism, the lens is housed entirely inside the camera body, and does not need to extend for use.
Super Compact Slim Body
The ultra-compact and thin size of the DSC-T7 makes it the perfect camera to tuck in a pocket or purse for high-quality, high resolution photos almost anywhere.
Real Imaging Processor Technology
The innovative Real Imaging Processor in the DSC-T7 not only improves picture quality and clarity but also improves camera response time, decreases shutter lag, and improves battery stamina.
3X Optical & 2X Digital Zoom with 12X Smart Zoom Feature
3X Optical Zoom helps you frame your shots for better digital pictures, and Sony's Precision Digital Zoom provides an additional 2X magnification. The Smart Zoom (Up to 12X at VGA Resolution) 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.
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.
2.5" Hybrid Clear Photo LCD Monitor
The enormous 2.5" LCD provides a high resolution view while shooting, with transmissive/reflective Hybrid design for extraordinary brightness in direct sunlight and large, easy to read menus. It also includes Clear Photo LCD technology which provides higher resolution, contrast ratio and brightness. Images in the LCD will have up to a 40% improvement in color reproduction than previous models.
Magnifying Glass Mode
With its extraordinarily close focusing capability (1cm) and oversized LCD, the DSC-T7's Magnifying Glass mode can display images at over 3X actual size. This powerful capability opens up new possibilities in Macro photography.
5 Area Multi-Point Auto Focus with AF Illuminator
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. The AF (Auto Focus) Illuminator briefly illuminating the subject, in low or no-light conditions to help establish a positive focus lock.
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.
Scene Selection Mode
With 10 Scene Modes, parameters can be matched to the shooting conditions. Choose from one of the following: Twilight, Twilight Portrait, Soft Snap, Landscape, Beach, Snow, Fireworks, High Speed Shutter, Candle and Magnifying Glass.
Multi-Burst Mode
Captures 16 consecutive 320 x 240 frames as part of a single 1280 x 960 image which plays back sequentially in the camera or as a single image on your computer. Selectable 1/7.5, 1/15, 1/30 second frame intervals provide convenient motion analysis.
MPEG Movie VX Fine Modes
Captures VGA (640 x 480) high frame rate (up to 30 frames per second) audio/video clips with length limited only by the capacity of the media. Video mail mode captures smaller file sizes suitable for email.
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.
Cybershot Station Supplied
Placing the DSC-T7 on the supplied Cyber-shot Station provides a quick and easy connection between the camera and a TV for easy viewing, or a USB supported computer for MPEG video and still image transfer.
