Four Stylish Colors in Ultra-Slim 
Dimensions

With sleek metallic case in silver, black, 
white or pink, the DSC-T20 makes a 
dramatic fashion statement that fits any 
lifestyle -- and also fits easily into your 
pocket, briefcase, purse or handbag, so 
you’ll always have a great little Sony Cyber-
Shot® camera on hand to save your 
memories.

8.1 MP Super HAD™  CCD 

More megapixels give you more detail and 
definition when you make big prints or crop 
in tight on your subject. The advanced 
Sony® Super HAD™  (Hole Accumulated 
Diode) CCD design allows more light to pass 
to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and 
reducing noise.

Carl Zeiss® 3X Optical Zoom Lens Design

An ingenious Carl Zeiss® lens design 
provides 3X Optical zoom in amazingly 
compact dimensions  -- and even at full zoom 
the lens doesn’t project beyond the camera 
body, preserving its ultra-slim styling.

Face Detection

By automatically controlling focus, 
exposure, color and flash, this new Sony 
feature reveals faces in shadow, makes skin 
tones look more natural and eliminates 
harsh facial glare  -- to help bring out every 
expression on every face in every shot, so 
you’ll capture the personalities and 
emotions that make memories come alive.

The Sony Double Anti-Blur Solution

With Super SteadyShot® Image 
Stabilization and high sensitivity (ISO 
3200), the DSC-T20 compensates for shaky 
hands, minimizes blur, brightens images 
and allows flash-free shooting to preserve 
the mood  -- and Sony Clear RAW™  Noise 
Reduction reduces the picture noise that 
can ruin low-light shots.

HD Output

Thanks to Sony, your photo album can go 
high-def -- with direct HD output1 to your 
HDTV screen, so you can view DSC-T20 still 
photos in spectacular high definition clarity 
and detail. Your life never looked so 
exciting!

HD Slide Show with Music

It’s the high-definition viewing experience 
that makes photos come alive on HDTV 
screens, accompanied by your choice of 
visual effects and any of four preset musical 
selections stored in memory or your 
favorite MP3 tunes downloaded from PC to 
your camera for use as background music.

9-Point Auto Focus

Because an off-center subject can make 
your shot more interesting, the DSC-T20 
can measure auto-focus precision at 9 
points on your screen -- giving you greater 
creative freedom to compose your image.

D-Range Optimization

The DSC-T20 lets you add creative effects to 
photos after you shoot -- including soft edge 
filter to soften backgrounds, cross filter to 
place starry  “ dazzles”  at highlight points, 
partial color filter to mute surrounding 
colors, even fish-eye filter to create 
interesting fish-eye lens effects.

In-Camera Red-Eye Reduction

Irritating “ glowing eyes”  can ruin even the 
most creative photos -- so the DSC-T20 
provides in-camera correction at the touch 
of a button to reduce lingering red-eye 
effect that other systems might miss.

2.5” Clear Photo LCD Plus™  Screen 

With its Clear Photo LCD Plus™  design, the 
big, bright 2.5” 1 screen of the DSC-T20 
makes photos look more natural when 
you’re sharing on location -- and gives you 
adjustable brightness for viewing even in 
bright sunlight.

Simple Setup Controls

A quick press of the Home button opens 
your user-friendly GUI  -- and you can select 
functions by simply moving a cursor 
vertically or horizontally to the 
appropriate icon. Function names and the 
on-screen Function Guide display make it 
easier to learn camera setup operations.

31 MB Internal Memory

The DSC-T20 allows you to capture a large 
number of images without a flash memory 
card, so it’s great for traveling or for quick 
candid snapshots.

Memory Stick Duo™  Media Convenience 

A built-in slot accepts optional Memory 
Stick Duo™  media or Memory Stick PRO 
Duo™  media -- the compact, high-capacity 
storage media that make it easily to 
upload photos to your computer or make 
lab-quality prints at home on your Sony 
Picture Station™  digital printer (sold 
separately).

15X Smart Zoom® Feature

The Sony Smart Zoom® feature 
intelligently “ crops into”  the central 
portion of interest in your photo, avoiding 
the image degradation of other digital 
zooms.

MPEG Movie VX Fine Mode

Captures 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.

Stamina® Battery Power

The DSC-T20 provides up to 380 shots with 
a fully charged NP-BG1 Lithium Ion battery -
- enough shooting capacity to cover a long 
weekend or a whole vacation.

Picture Motion Browser Software

Supplied software makes it easier to 
upload, organize and search photos on your 
PC -- and provides a convenient map view 
function to sort photos by location and 
display their origin on a world map by using 
an optional GPS unit.
