Sony has launched 18.7 mm DSC-W190 and DSC-W180 Cyber-shot W series cameras. With sleek metallic brushed chassis and digital SteadyShot technologies, Face Detection and Smile Shutter functions that optimize image settings automatically for quality image finishes.
Face Detection detects up to 8 faces in a scene and automatically adjusts white balance and focus exposure. The Digital SteadyShot records two images in rapid succession thereby minimizing the effects of camera shake. It then superimpose the pictures to lessen the appearance of camera shake.
This W series cameras help in large format printing of photos with high resolution and vivid detail. This is made possible with the maximum 12.1 megapixel resolution coupled with 3x optical zoom, 1/2.33-type Super HAD CCD sensor and maximum18x Smart Zoom.
When the Smile Shutter is activated, users need to focus on a face and the camera will capture the image when the selected face in the frame smiles.
The images are likely to have a blurring effect when captured in low light environments or while capturing images of fast moving subjects. This is prevented by these cameras with the help of the high sensitivity mode of up to ISO 3200. For other shooting environments both the cameras offer seven selection modes like the Twilight, Twilight Portrait, Landscape, Soft Snap, Snow, Beach and High Sensitivity.
With the option of drag-and-drop style, these Sony cameras enable easy transfer of videos and pictures to a computer using a USB. Moreover, photo and video management is taken care of by the Picture Motion Browser ver. 4.2.01 software. Users can further attach mood-enhancing elements to their videos and pictures by employing the eDeo function. They also enables matching of photo frames, background music, text and sound effects. With Movie Tracer, users can combine movie frames to construct amazing panoramic images.
The new Cyber-shot W series DSC-W190 and DSC-W180 cameras in metallic red, silver and black colors, will be available at Rs.9,990/- and Rs.8,990/- respectively through authorized dealers and national retail partners across India.
