Combining point-and-shoot convenience with a host of manual photographic controls, this camera is sure to inspire digital photographers to expand creativity and get better results. Armed with high-quality Carl Zeiss optics, ISO sensitivities of 100/200/400/800 and shutter speeds of up to 1/2000 second in auto mode, the DSC-F717 produces stellar results, even in the most demanding of shooting situations. 2/3" 5. 0 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-Sonnar Lens Famous for sharpness & color accuracy, the Vario-Sonnar 5X Optical zoom lens features 13 elements in 10 groups with 2 aspheric elements and 6 blade aperture. Its fast f2. 0 aperture is great for low light shooting. 5 Area Multi-Point Auto Focus Evaluating 5 separate areas of the frame, Sony's Multi- Point AF system intelligently focuses on the subject, and displays the selected focus point. Alternately, choose any of the 5 points for manual control. Manual Focus/Zoom Ring Take precise control of zoom and manual focus with the lens mounted ring. Fast, intuitive framing is easy with its natural feel, and two speed action. Hologram AF Projecting a Class 1 laser pattern, Hologram AF reads the contrast between the pattern's edge and the subject for precise focus, even in low or no light. Multi-Pattern Measuring Independently light-metering 49 points of the frame, Multi- Pattern Measuring determines the optimum exposure, even when highlight and shadow are randomly distributed. Pre-Flash Metering With a momentary pre-flash, the camera illuminates the subject and calculates exposure through the lens directly from the CCD for accurate flash metering. Adjustable flash level and red-eye reduction insure great flash shots. Memory Stick Media Digital. Powerful. Transportable. Memory Stick media is compact, portable and rugged connecting a variety of hardware and software applications. 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. Slow Shutter Noise Reduction At shutter speeds 1/25 sec. and longer, Slow Shutter NR captures the scene, and then the CCD noise pattern with a dark frame exposure. By subtracting the two, even long exposures can be clear. Dynamic White Balance Accurate color balance under changing lighting and exposure settings is realized by linking the White Balance to the Exposure and Flash systems. Manual setting allows calibration with white card. Manual Exposure Controls Flexible Exposure control is provided with Aperture Priority (f2 8), Shutter Priority (30 sec1/1000 sec) and Manual Exposure modes. EV Compensation and flash output level allow fine tuning. Live Histogram Display Available for capture and playback, the live histogram displays number of pixels at each luminosity |
