Key Features
6.0 Megapixel Super HAD™ CCD :   Higher megapixels gives you more detail and definition for large prints and cropping in on your subject. Sony’s advanced Super HADTM (Hole Accumulated Diode) CCD design allows more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise.
Large 2.0"1 LCD Screen :   The DSC-W30 has a bright 2.0”1 LCD screen for setting up and viewing images -- with a one-touch “Play” button that makes it quick and easy to view your photos.
Simple Controls, Function Guide :   User-friendly controls and simple on-screen Function Guide text/icon display help you set up camera functions -- and you’ll have greater creative freedom to adjust color mode (including “Natural” for subtle colors and “Rich” for more intense colors), sensitivity, brightness and image size.
High Sensitivity Mode :   A new High Sensitivity Mode (ISO 1000) allows you to shoot with great results in low-light conditions -- and Sony’s original Clear RAW NRTM (Noise Reduction) image processing technology helps suppress the color noise that can accompany high-senstivity shooting.
Carl Zeiss® 3X Optical/2X Digital Zoom :   3X Optical Zoom helps the DSC-W30 bring distant subjects closer and lets you frame shots for better composition; Sony’s precision 2X Digital Zoom provides an additional 2X magnification to enlarge details without jagged edges.
Stamina® Battery Power :   With its powerful Lithium Ion rechargeable battery, the DSC-W30 can capture up to 4003 images -- enough for a week of shooting. The compact BC-CSG Battery Charger is also supplied for battery recharging on the go.
13X Smart Zoom® Feature :   At VGA resolution4, Sony’s Smart Zoom® feature intelligently “crops into” the central portion of interest in your photo without sacrificing full CCD resolution -- avoiding the image degradation of other digital zooms.
Capture Images In-Camera :   With 32 MB2 Internal Memory, the DSC-W30 allows you to shoot without a flash memory card -- then transfer your images to optional Memory Stick™ Duo media, upload to your computer or make prints on your digital printer.
Memory Stick Duo™ Media :   The DSC-W30 has a built-in slot for optional Memory Stick Duo™ or higher-capacity Memory Stick PRO Duo™ media -- the ultra-compact media for shooting, storing and sharing your photo images.
MPEG Movie VX Fine Mode :   The DSC-W30 can capture VGA (640 x 480) audio/video clips at high frame rate (up to 30 frames per second), with length limited only by the capacity of your media.
Cyber-shot Viewer Software :   Sony’s new software that makes it easy to import images via camera or Memory Stick® media -- then organize and browse through photos on your PC with simple scrolling through thumbnail images.
PictBridge™ Compatibility :   The DSC-W30 connects easily to any PictBridge™ compatible printer with the supplied USB cable, so you can print directly from your camera. You can view images and make print selections right on the camera’s LCD screen -- with simple menus for print quality, date and index print.
