The Sony DSC-N1 opens an expansive world of shooting and sharing, with 8.1 megapixel performance and 26MB of internal memory that holds up to 500 VGA images for pocket album viewing anywhere, anytime. A huge 3.0" LCD Monitor with Clear Photo LCD Plus technology provides touch-screen convenience for controlling camera functions and searching thumbnail images, and the unique Free Spot AF lets you focus on a subject by just touching it on screen. The Sony DSC-N1 also features Slide Show capability, a Carl Zeiss 3x Optical zoom lens, Manual Exposure control options, and a high-stamina Lithium Ion rechargeable battery.
Key Features
• 8.1 Megapixel Super HAD CCD Over 8 million pixels provide incredible high-resolution detail and definition -- and Sony's advanced 1/1.8" 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 The top quality, Carl Zeiss 3x Optical Zoom lens helps the DSC-N1 bring distant subjects closer and lets you frame shots for better composition, and Sony's precision 6X Digital Zoom lets you enlarge image areas without jagged edges.
• Free Spot AF In addition to normal autofocus mode, the DSC-N1 lets you focus on a subject by just touching it on your LCD monitor - a fast and simple way to adjust focus for complex scenes or moving subjects.
• 26MB Internal Memory You can capture images in-camera, without using a flash memory card, and store and share up to 500 photo images at VGA resolution. The pocket album function makes for easy sharing of an entire collection of digital photos with family, friends, clients and co-workers, and images can be viewed as thumbnails so you can easily search your photo archive by date/year. For additional Storage, the DSC-N1 is compatible with optional Memory Stick Duo media for high-capacity shooting and recording.
• Huge 3.0" LCD Monitor The Sony DSC-N1 sports a monitor big enough to make all your images come alive, with convenient touch-screen operation of camera functions as well as thumbnail image viewing for searching and editing photos. Sony's Clear Photo LCD Plus design reduces reflection from the LCD surface for excellent visibility outdoors, and wide-angle viewing makes it easy to sharing images with a group of friends or family.
• Slide Show with Music The DSC-N1 lets you combine images in Slide Show sequence, adding any of 4 transition effects (simple, nostalgic, stylish or active) plus 4 kinds of background music - or view your Slide Show without music.
• Touch-Screen "Paint" Function You can easily stamp information and trace letters or drawings over your photo images using the stylus supplied with the DSC-N1, and your decorated images will be saved in VGA format without affecting your original photos.
• High Capacity Lithium Ion Rechargeable Battery A high-stamina NP-BG1 Lithium-Ion battery lets the DSC-N1 shoot up to 300 images on a single charge, giving you plenty of power when traveling or shooting on location.
• Quick Hookup to PC and TV The optional Cybershot Station cradle provides USB connector for PC hookup and TV connector for viewing images on large screens - so when your DSC-N1 comes home, hookup can be quick and simple.
