| Simple, slim, and stylish, the Sony DSC-U40 Cyber-shot U features a compact design that makes it possible to take anywhere. |
| Despite its good looks, it packs all the features you expect from a Sony digital camera, including a large 2.0 Megapixel Super HAD CCD, 1.0” hybrid LCD monitor, and a super-fast 1 second start-up time. | | Benefits: | | 12-Bit DXP A/D Conversion | Sony's 12-bit Digital EXtended Processor captures the range between highlight and shadow with up to 4,096 values, for extended dynamic contrast and detail. | | 1.0" Hybrid LCD Monitor | Monitors the scene for accurate framing. The Hybrid system consists of a transmissive LCD combined with a reflective LCD. By turning off the LCD backlight, it will capture more ambient light virtually eliminating "washout." Images will be visible in the LCD even in the most challenging outdoor lighting conditions. | | MPEG Movie EX Mode (No Audio) | Unlike earlier MPEG1 Movies, MPEG Movie EX will allow you to record 320 x 240 resolution MPEG movies uninterrupted up to the capacity of the Memory Stick Duo™ Media. These movies are perfect for emailing to friends and family. | | 1/2.7" 2.0 Megapixel Effective 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. | | Fast Start-Up (0.9 sec.) with Convenient Sliding Lens Cover | Lets you capture your precious memories at the speed of life, rather than miss your shot, waiting for your camera to start up. | | 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 insure great flash shots. | | Memory Stick Duo and Memory Stick PRO Duo Media Compatibility | Digital, Powerful, Transportable. At 1/3 the size of standard Memory Stick Media, Memory Stick Duo and Memory Stick PRO Duo Media offer the same benefits and capabilities, but in a smaller size, perfect for the ultra-compact camera. | | Red-Eye Reduction | The Red-Eye Reduction system uses a series of pre-flashes that causes the subject’s pupils to contract, reducing the possibility of reflection from the back of the eye that causes the red-eye problem. | | Scene Selection Mode | With 5 Scene Modes (Soft Snap, Illumination Snap, Twilight, Active Outdoor and Vivid Nature), the camera parameters are changed to match the shooting conditions. | | Auto Bright Monitoring | To help framing in low or no-light situations, the CCD gain is briefly increased to provide an extra bright display on the LCD viewfinder just before exposure. | | Selectable Picture Size | Select 1632 x 1224 (UXGA) picture resolution great for photo quality 5" x 7" prints, or 640 x 480 (VGA) picture resolution for on-screen viewing and email applications. | | Burst Mode | Capture ten (10) 640 x 480 frames or two (2) 1632 x 1224 frames, which allows for the ability to capture fast moving objects in separate files for viewing at a later date. | | Playback Zoom | During playback, zoom either 2.5X or 5.0X on the image; then save the new image as a new file. | | USB Bus Powered for File Transfer | Using the supplied USB cable, power is supplied to the camera allowing for easy transfer of still images and MPEG1 movies directly from the camera to the PC. No need for an additional power source. | | PictBridge Compatibility | Connect the DSC-U40 directly to a compatible printer via the supplied USB cable to allow for easier printing capability without the need for a computer. | | Picture Effects | Select from 4 Picture Effects (Negative Art, Sepia, Black & White, Solarize) to add creativity to ordinary pictures. | | Picture Indexing | Finding a special picture stored on the Memory Stick media is easy with the Picture Index mode. View four (4) images at a time for convenient and quick access to your images. | | Rechargeable NiMH Batteries | Reliable power is provided by Sony’s Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) AAA Stamina batteries with external charger. | | Active Lifestyle Lanyard | Over-sized, active-wear, adjustable lanyard included to allow the DSC-U40 to be portable, wearable, fashionable and accessible for you wherever you are and whenever you want to capture the moment |
