Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H70 review
Shoot life at its fullest with the compact DSC-H70 Cyber-shot® digital
camera. Featuring a 10x zoom and 25mm wide angle lens, you’ll be able
to get closer to your subjects or everyone in the picture, depending on
your shooting situation. Capture expansive landscapes with one touch Sweep
Panorama or take stunning 720p HD videos. Advanced features including
Anti-blink, Soft Skin, Face Detection and Smile Shutter™ technologies
make it a breeze to capture amazing people photos. Additionally, this
camera has High Sensitivity ISO 3200 for low-light shooting and a large
3.0" LCD to compose, review and share your photos and video.
Sweep Panorama™ mode Reach beyond the traditional wide angle lens, and
capture more breathtaking shots with Sweep Panorama™ mode. Simply press
the shutter button and sweep the camera in the desired direction and the
camera continuously shoots at a high speed, then seamlessly stitches the
images together with automatic position adjustment to create one stunning
panoramic image. Available in wide and ultra-wide options, the camera can
take panoramic shots of up to 260 degrees. Now capturing wide landscapes is
as easy as press and sweep.
Active mode Stabilize hand held HD movies with active mode. For recording
on the go this feature was designed to minimize motion capturing the video
without all of the movement.
Soft Skin mode Portrait subjects will love the results. Soft Skin mode
recognizes skin tones and reduces the appearance of blemishes and wrinkles
without affecting the rest of the shot.
Smile Shutter™ technology Smile Shutter™ technology captures a smile
the moment it happens. Simply press the Smile Shutter™ button and the
camera does the rest. Also select adult and child priority and indicate the
degree of Smile Detection sensitivity. Intelligent Scene Recognition can be
used together with Smile Shutter™ mode. This means that beautiful smiles
can be captured with settings optimized for the particular scene, even in
difficult conditions such as twilight and backlighting.

3.0” (230K dots) Clear Photo™ LCD 3.0” (230K dots) Clear Photo™ LCD
display features sharp, natural color that makes it easy to compose shots,
read menus, and view photos, even in bright sunlight.
Motion Detection Motion Detection, along with Face Motion Detection adjusts
ISO sensitivity and increases the shutter speed when movement is detected,
reducing blur in moving subjects and faces.
Natural Flash Conventional point-and-shoot camera flash shots just
don’t capture colors the way the eye sees them. Natural Flash mode
takes a reference shot without flash and then uses that reference to
correct the color, for far more lifelike images.
Face Detection technology Sony’s Face Detection technology can
automatically distinguish between children and adults. Face Detection
technology detects up to eight individual faces and adjusts flash, focus,
exposure, and white balance to help deliver crisp, properly lit images of
family and friends.
High Sensitivity Mode (ISO 3200) High ISO allows for faster shutter speed,
so you can take photos indoors or in low light without the need for a
flash. In addition to High Sensitivity Mode (ISO), you can select up to
seven ISO settings (Auto, 125, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200) when shooting in
Program Auto Mode to adjust sensitivity to the shooting conditions.
Self-Portrait Timer Self-Portrait Timer helps take the guesswork out of
self portraits by utilizing Face Detection technology to recognize when
your face enters the frame. Once the camera detects your face, it triggers
a 2-second timer, and then snaps a picture.
Compact camera with 10x zoom The Sony ® 10x optical zoom G lens brings
distant subjects super close for great outdoors, sports, and travel photos.
The compact size makes it easy to take with you in a pocket, purse, or
backpack.
Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilization Optical SteadyShot™ image
stabilization uses a built-in gyro sensor to detect camera shake and
automatically shifts the lens to help prevent blur without sacrificing
image quality.
Intelligent Auto Mode Unlike traditional auto mode, Intelligent Auto
(iAuto) mode does the thinking, recognizing scenes, lighting conditions,
faces, and adjusts settings resulting in clear images, faces with natural
skin tone and less blur. Take advantage of all the technology without
leaving Auto mode. Kids on the playground, landscape shots, a beautiful
flower or an indoor birthday party; all result in clear images without
leaving auto mode.
In camera guide Take all the guesswork out of photography with the in
camera guide. Its convenient step-by-step instructions lead to a perfect
shot.
Anti-blink Function It’s frustrating to capture the perfect shot, only to
review it later and discover subjects blinked during the photo. When the
camera is set to Soft Snap, the Anti-blink function captures two images,
recording only the photo with less squinting or blinking. If a blink is
detected in other shooting modes, a warning will be displayed after you
take the shot.
Easy Shooting Mode With Easy Shooting Mode, even beginners can take great
photos. In Easy Shooting Mode, easy-to-understand basic instructions are
displayed on the LCD screen and the camera switches to all automatic
settings, removing several function choices and allowing you to focus on
just your subject. Since this mode works together with Intelligent Scene
Recognition, the camera selects the optimum setting for each scene. In
addition the easy mode simplifies preview mode.
