NOTES FOR EDITORS
Please find below further details about products and services highlighted in the Press Release:
Design
The rounded-off squared body design was inspired by the simple functionality of the Touch-screen.
The entire back of the Cyber-shot N1 is finished in a glossy black, with key controls lit in blue for
ease of use. The front is dressed in an elegantly machined aluminium fascia surrounding the two-
tone lens barrel. The sharp contrast of Silver and Black gives the Cyber-shot N1 a unique cool yet
solid style.
Real Imaging Processor benefits
The Real Imaging Processor was designed by Sony to provide a faster start-up time, enhanced
colour reproduction and an improved signal to noise ratio, resulting in greatly improved picture
quality and camera operation. Burst mode shooting is possible thanks to the Real Imaging
Processor as well as a beneficial effect on the battery performance of the Cyber-shot N1. It also
makes high-resolution video possible, recording footage in MPEG Movie VX Fine (640 x 480, 30
frames per second) format – the recording time is only limited by the capacity of your optional
Memory Stick PRO Duo™ media.
Flexibility
The camera has several advanced Auto Focus (AF) options including Multi-Point (5 points), Centre
Weighted, Spot and Free Spot (using touch-panel), as well as options for Saturation, Contrast and
Sharpness. Further flexibility is included with a variety of Light Metering, Flash, White Balance and
Burst Modes. The live Histogram feature shows the luminance distribution of the image as a graph
in the LCD, a great tool to judge the correct exposure.
Memory
Worry-free shooting is a reality with the Cyber-shot N1’s 26MB internal memory. Now not only can
you shoot and store pictures on an optional Sony Memory Stick Duo™ or Memory Stick PRO Duo™,
but with the internal memory you can be safe in the knowledge you will never miss a great photo
opportunity again. An extra separate internal memory is allocated to the Pocket Album feature.
Connectivity
Options for connectivity include Hi-Speed USB 2.0 and an enhanced version of the PictBridge
interface provides a way for the Cyber-shot N1 to connect directly to a compatible printer without
the need for a PC. A/V connectivity allows connections to a TV for playback and sharing of images,
MPEG Movie VX Fine movies, the Pocket Album feature and the Slideshow with Music feature. The
optional Cyber-shot Station makes charging and connecting to a PC, printer or TV even simpler.
Accessories
Sony also includes a variety of accessories with the Cyber-shot N1. These include a rechargeable
Lithium Battery, Battery Charger, Wrist Strap, a CD containing software (including Picture Package
with Music Transfer) and USB driver, as well as an AV and USB multi-use terminal cable.
