A precision, pop-up Carl Zeiss 3x zoom lens and a phenomenal 3.34 megapixels of resolution redefine the picture quality found in digital imaging. Optically world-famous, the Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar Lens uses a unique lens coating that reduces glare and flaring, while providing improvement in detail and contrast--a perfect complement to the DSC-S70’s 3.3 megapixel Super HAD CCD image sensor and 12-bit A-D conversion. Additional features include high-quality MPEG movie mode and an optical zoom viewfinder to help you frame your shots.

High Performance:

3.3 mega pixel Super HAD CCD captures high resolution still images up to 2048 x 1536 pixels. Super HAD technology reduces noise in the imager to improve signal-to-noise ratio for better overall image quality--particularly effective when shooting black objects or in dark situations.
12-bit A-D (analog-to-digital) conversion delivers four times the intensity levels as conventional 10-bit conversion. This results is greater dynamic range as well as greater detail in bright highlights and dark shadows.
Professional quality 3X (34-102mm) optical zoom Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar Lens uses a unique lens coating that reduces glare and flaring, while providing improvement in detail and contrast. 6X precision digital zoom uses improved interpolation for digital zooming that is cleaner and clearer than ever before, with less blocking and distortion than most other types of digital zoom.
High-speed scan auto focus with 5 manual focus presets and macro capability down to 4" of the subject. 4-step adjustable sharpness setting
7-mode program auto exposure plus Aperture priority (9-steps) and Shutter priority (18-steps) modes; 4-mode auto white balance (preset Auto, Indoor, Outdoor, or Hold White Balance).
Intelligent flash with red-eye reduction provides the perfect amount of flash for optimum brightness and color accuracy in any lighting conditions. An external flash terminal is also provided, allowing use with the external HVL-F1000 accessory flash. The HVL-F1000 adds range (over 30’) and flexibility (bounce and multi-source) to the flash system.
