1/1.8" 5.0 Megapixel Effective 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.

Ultra Compact Design

The DSC-P10's sleek metal body is small
enough for most any pocket or purse,
and easy to use with well placed controls.

3X Optical Zoom Lens 

To help frame your shots for
better digital pictures. Optical
Zoom helps you bring distant

subjects closer & pull back for wide shots

0 - 4.0 Smart Zoom (at VGA size)

Smart Zoom 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.

3 Area Multi-Point Auto Focus 

Evaluating 3 separate focus
areas of the frame, Multi-Point
AF can intelligently focus on

the subject and avoid mistakenly focusing
on the background.

AF (Auto Focus) Illuminator 

Briefly illuminating the 
subject in low–or no–light
conditions, AF Illuminator

helps establish a positive focus lock.

Continuous Auto Focus

To maintain accurate focus
lock with fast moving subjects,
Continuous AF keeps focusing

until the moment of exposure.

Multi-Pattern Measuring 

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

optimum exposure value, even when highlight
or shadow isn't centered in the frame.

Digital. Powerful. Transportable.™
Memory Stick media is compact,
portable and rugged—

connecting a variety of hardware and 
software applications.

Slow Shutter Noise Reduction 

During long exposures, Slow
Shutter NR captures the
scene, and then a separate

exposure of just the CCD noise pattern.
By subtracting the two, the noise which
often distorts long exposures is reduced.

1.5" LCD Monitor

Monitors the scene for accurate framing.
123K pixel and anti-glare coating help
provide excellent viewing and image
playback clarity, even outdoors.

True Zoom Optical Viewfinder

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

Pre-Flash Metering

With a momentary pre-flash, the camera
illuminates the subject and sets exposure
through the lens for great flash shots.

Auto Daylight Synchro Fill Flash

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

Live Histogram Display

Available for capture and playback, the
live histogram displays number of pixels
at each luminosity making it easy to 
evaluate correct exposure.

5 Megapixel (2592 x 1944) Image Size

With its high resolution CCD, the DSC-P10
captures 4 different image sizes, Fine or
Standard JPEG compression.

Scene Selection Mode

With 7 Scene Modes, camera
parameters can be matched
to the shooting conditions.

Twilight, Twilight Portrait, Landscape,
Snow, Beach, Fast Shutter and Fireworks
presets make great shots easy!

Multi-Burst Mode 

Captures 16 320x240 frames
as part of a single 1280x960
image which plays back

sequentially in the camera. Selectable
1/7.5, 1/15, 1/30 second frame intervals
provide convenient motion analysis.

MPEG Movie VX Mode 

Captures VGA (640 x 480)
high frame rate (16 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.

Clip Motion Mode

Capture up to 10 images and
convert them to an animated
GIF with 2 fps playback. By

varying the interval between shots you
can create animations not possible with
other motion capture modes.

Playback Zoom, Trim and Resize 

During playback, magnify
any portion of the image up
to 5X and trim to the area of 
your interest. Then, save the
new image as a new file in
any of the image sizes 

available from the menu.
