the S650 is enhanced even further by the S700 that adds an extra stylish note
courtesy of its high-quality all-metal body.
Picture quality is assured thanks to the 1/2.5-inch Super HAD CCD sensor with a
resolution of 7.2 effective Mega Pixels. Distant scenes can be pulled in closer with
the bright, clear Sony 3x optical zoom lens that also offers a 6x digital zoom
capability and up to 14x smart zoom. Complementing Auto and Program modes,
a choice of seven Scene Selection modes adjusts camera settings for optimum
results under a wide range of shooting conditions. In High Sensitivity mode,
sensitivity is boosted to ISO 1000, making the S650 and S700 perfect for
capturing clearer, blur-free images indoors or in difficult low light conditions
without flash.
Dependable shooting is even surer with the Mode
Dial and Function Guide that offers an on-screen
description of each shooting mode, making it easy
to pick exactly the right mode for any subject.
Selection of flash, macro, self timer and other
settings are also confirmed with the aid of easy-to-understand on-screen icons.
As another bonus for beginners, both cameras offer guidance on how many shots
can be captured on the remaining memory as well as suggesting the most
appropriate image resolution for a preferred print paper size. For even greater
convenience there’s also a ‘Direct Play’ button that switches instantly to playback
for quick confirmation of shots. While the S650 has a 2-inch LCD screen, the
S700 makes framing and reviewing shots even more of a pleasure thanks to its
big, bright 2.4-inch LCD screen.

the Cyber-shot™ S650 and S700 are no
lightweights when it comes to shooting stamina.
Both cameras accept standard AA Alkaline
batteries (supplied in box) and up to 460 shots

holidays or trips away without worrying about running out of power.
