1/2.7" 4.1 Megapixel 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.

3X Digital Zoom

Sony’s Precision Digital Zoom provides an additional 3X

magnification without the jagged edges of other designs, resulting in smoother images.

5 Area Multi-Point Auto Focus

By evaluating 5 separate focus areas of the frame, Sony’s Multi-Point AF system can

intelligently focus on the subject and avoid mistakenly focusing on the background.

AF (Auto Focus) Illuminator

An amber light briefly illuminates the subject, in low – or no – light conditions, helping to establish a

positive focus lock.

Selectable Focus Mode

Memory Stick® Media and Memory Stick PRO™ Media

Digital. Powerful. Transportable.™

Memory Stick® media is compact, portable and rugged – connecting a

variety of hardware and software applications.

4 Shot Burst Mode

Capture up to 4 shots (fine) or 7 shots (standard) at 1.7 frame/sec. even at 4 MP resolution. Perfect for high speed subjects or fast moving action such as sports.

0 – 3.6X Smart Zoom™ Feature (at VGA Resolution)

The Smart Zoom feature intelligently uses the full CCD to let you zoom into the portion of

interest by cropping the image size – thus avoiding the image degradation of Digital Zooms.

Real Imaging Processor

The innovative Real Imaging Processor in the DSC-P41 not only improves picture quality and

clarity but also improves camera response time, decreases shutter lag and improves battery stamina.

Optical Viewfinder

Provides accurate framing at eye level, great for added stability and following fast moving subjects.

1.5" LCD Monitor

The 1.5" 67K LCD Monitor makes framing shots and reviewing pictures easy.

Auto Bright Monitoring

To help framing in low-or no-light situations, CCD gain is briefly increased to provide an extra bright display on the LCD viewfinder just before exposure.

14-Bit DXP A/D Conversion

Sony’s 14-bit Digital EXtended Processor captures the range

between highlight and shadow with up to 16,384 values, for extended dynamic contrast and detail.

Monitoring AF (Auto Focus) helps you anticipate the action by focusing even before you press the shutter release.

Multi-Pattern Measuring

Independently light-metering 49 points of the frame, Multi-Pattern Measuring establishes the

optimum exposure, even when highlight and shadow isn’t centered in the frame.

Auto Daylight Synchro Fill Flash

If the Multi-Pattern Measuring system determines the subject is backlit or in shadow, fill flash automatically fires to provide optimum exposure.

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 ensure great flash shots.

Slow Shutter Noise Reduction

During long exposures, Slow Shutter NR captures the scene, and then the CCD noise pattern

with a dark frame exposure. By subtracting the two, even long exposures can be clear.

Multi-Burst Mode

Captures 16 320 x 240 frames as part of a single 1280 x 960 image which plays back

sequentially in the camera. Selectable 1/7.5, 1/15, 1/30 second.

MPEG Movie VX Standard/Fine Mode with Audio

Captures VGA (640 x 480) high frame rate (up to 30 frames per

second) audio/video clips with length limited only by the capacity of the media. Video mail mode captures smaller file sizes suitable for email.

Playback Zoom

During playback, magnify the image up to 5 times with 17-step playback zoom for a closer look.

Scroll to any part of the image with the cursor keys.

PictBridge™ Compatibility

Connect to any PictBridge™ compatible printer with the supplied USB cable and print directly from the

camera. Images can be viewed and selected for printing right on the camera’s LCD, with menus for print quantity, date and index print.
