DSC-H50/B

Cyber-shot® Digital Still Camera

 

 

 

  

The Sony® DSC-H50 features Smile Shutter™  technology captures smiles the moment they happen , as well as Face Detection 
technology to optimize flash, focus, exposure and white for up to eight faces. Capture detailed images with 9.1 megapixel resolution, 

and get in close to the action with the 15x optical zoom lens.

 

 

 

9.1 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® 15X Optical Zoom Lens

15X optical zoom provides a superb 
ability to bring long-distance subjects 
up close —  a significant advantage for 
situations where you can’t be near the 
action, such as sporting events or 
wildlife photography.

3.0” Tilt-up Clear Photo LCD Plus™  
Display

The large, bright tiltable 3.0” Clear 
Photo LCD Plus™  display (230K pixels) 
tilts up for comfortable low-angle 
shooting, and an anti-reflective coating 
provides for excellent visibility to help 
you compose, view, and share photos 
with superb clarity and color 
reproduction, even in bright sunlight.

Face Detection

Face Detection technology 
automatically controls flash, focus, 
exposure, and white balance to help 
reveal faces in shadows, make skin 
tones look more natural, reduce red-
eye, and eliminates harsh facial glare.

Smile Shutter Technology

Smile Shutter™  technology captures 
smiles the moment they happen. The 
mode can be set to capture when your 
subject laughs, smiles or even grins, 
and like Face Detection is able to 
differentiate children and adults to set 
priority.

Sony Double Anti-Blur Solution

The combination of Super SteadyShot® 
optical image stabilization and high 
ISO sensitivity helps compensate for 
shaky hands, minimizes blur, and allow 
flash-free shooting to preserve the 
mood.

Super SteadyShot® Optical Image 
Stabilization

Super SteadyShot® Image Stabilization 
compensates for shaky hands and 
minimizes blur with a built-in gyro that 
detects camera movement and sends 
correcting signals to a stabilization lens 
-- so there’s no need to crop in on your 
shot to reduce blur.

High Sensitivity (ISO 3200) Mode

With high sensitivity of ISO 3200, you 
can shoot effectively in low light 
without flash to preserve the mood, 
while the Sony Clear RAW™  Noise 
Reduction system helps suppress the 
color noise that can degrade low-light 
shots.

Intelligent Scene Recognition Mode

Intelligent Scene Recognition mode 
automatically detects 5 different types 
of scenes and selects the appropriate 
camera setting: Backlight, Backlight 
Portrait, Twilight, Twilight Portrait, and 
Twilight using a Tripod. Intelligent Scene 
Recognition has two different modes, 
advanced and auto. Advanced mode 
takes one with the standard automatic 
settings and the other with optimized 
settings. Auto mode takes a single shot, 
utilizing the camera's optimal settings.

Dynamic Range Optimization Standard 
& Plus

Powered by the exclusive Sony BIONZ™  
high-speed processing engine, 
Dynamic Range Optimization preserves 
image data in bright highlights and 
reveals more detail in shadows or 
backlit areas -- for great results even in 
difficult lighting conditions. New DRO 
Plus mode enhances optimization, 
analyzing each region of an image 
and performing additional image 
processing.

NightShot® Infrared System

Sony’s NightShot® Infrared System lets 
you shoot photos in near-dark or totally 
dark (0 lux) conditions without using a 
flash, so you can capture creative night 
scenes that lie beyond the power of 
conventional cameras.

Variable Noise Reduction (NR Level 
Setting)

To allow greater control over NR, three 
NR Level Settings are available -- High, 
Low and Standard —  allowing you to 
select the optimal setting depending on 
the scene and individual tastes. For 
example, applying high NR helps 
obtain smoothly textured images for 
portraits or dark scenes, while the low 
setting is helps reduce noise without 
sacrificing resolution, making it 
especially useful for landscapes, 
detailed subjects, and contoured 
surfaces.

Advanced Sports Shooting mode

Advance Sports Shooting mode is 
ideal for shooting fast-moving subjects. 
Just choose Advanced Sports Shooting 
mode with the mode dial. The camera 
will then automatically use Auto Focus 
to analyze subject motion and predict 
the next move while the shutter button is 
halfway pressed. A high shutter speed 
(up to 1/4000 sec.) helps ensure you 
capture the moment clearly even if the 
subject is moving at high speed.

Bracket Shooting Mode

In addition to standard exposure 
bracketing (±0.3EV/±0.7EV/±1.0EV), 
Bracket Shooting mode now includes 
settings for white balance and color 
modes. This function records three 
images with one shot, each with a 
different white balance or color mode 
applied, making it easy to capture the 
ambience and feeling of the original 
scene.

Convenient Photo Modes

To adjust quickly for specific shooting 
situations, you can choose from several 
convenient photo modes, including 
Auto, Program Auto, and Scene 
Selections such as Twilight, Twilight 
Portrait, Landscape, Portrait, Snow, 
High Sensitivity, Smile Shutter, Advance 
Sports Shooting, Fireworks, and Beach 
environments.
