- General
- Product Name: DSC-WX500 18.2-Megapixel Digital Camera
- Brand: Sony
- Model Number: DSCWX500/B
- Color: Black
- Color Category: Black
- Digital Camera Type: Point and Shoot Cameras
- Imaging
- Image Sensor Type: CMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)
- Image Resolution (Display): 4896 x 3264 (Refers to the number of pixels, both horizontally and vertically, used to either capture an image or display it. The higher the resolution the finer the image details.)
- Digital Zoom: 120x (A digital zoom is accomplished electronically, with no adjustment of the camera's optics, and no optical resolution gained in the process. The existing data is not enhanced or added to, merely displayed at a lower resolution, thereby giving an illusion of an enlarged image.)
- Optical Zoom: 30x (The optical zoom uses a combination of lenses that magnify the image prior to it being registered at high resolution by the imaging sensor.)
- Low Light/High Sensitivity: true (High sensitivity digital imaging devices are designed to work in low light conditions to produce a high dynamic range image.)
- Image File Format(s): JPEG (Standardized software format(s) of storing digital images. The type of format chosen for capturing and compressing the image can determine quality, level of detail, and storage space required.)
- Focus
- Autofocus: true (Allows the camera to automatically focus through the lens, rather than by adjusting the lens manually.)
- Exposure Control
- Shutter Speeds: iAuto: 4 - 1/2000 sec.; Program Auto: 1 - 1/2000 sec.; Aperture Priority: 8 - 1/2000 sec.; Shutter Priority: 30 - 1/2000 sec.; Manual: 30 - 1/2000 sec. (The length of time the shutter remains open when the shutter release is activated, expressed in fractions of seconds. The longer the shutter is open, the more light that is able to be captured by the camera sensor.)
- Brightness Control: true (Allows the camera to adjust the brightness of a captured image for optimal exposure.)
- Burst Mode: true (Also referred to as continuous shooting. This feature captures multiple shots in rapid succession.)
- Self Timer: true
- Self-Timer Delay: 10 seconds, 2 seconds, 5 seconds
- Shooting Modes: Intelligent auto, superior auto, program auto, aperture priority, shutter-speed priority, manual exposure, MR (memory recall), panorama and more (Exposure modes employed by the photographer to control the optimal aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and other settings for capturing specific subjects/scenes. Examples include Aperture-Priority, Macro, and Manual modes.)
- Panorama Mode: true
- Scene Modes: Portrait, advanced sports shooting and more (Exposure modes with predetermined optimal settings for capturing specific scenes. Examples include Landcape, Portrait, and Sports modes.)
- White Balance Modes: Auto, daylight, shade, cloudy, incandescent, fluorescent (cool white, day white, daylight) and more (Settings that calibrates how the color white is rendered in an image/video, reducing the appearance of unnatural contrasts caused by various light sources.)
- Effective Pixels: 18.2 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
- Flash
- Flash Modes: Automatic, Fill-in, Off, Slow sync (The flash feature emits light to increase the brightness of a subject in dimly lit environments. Common modes include Auto and Red-Eye Reduction.)
- Integrated Flash: true
- Display
- Display Type: LCD
- Screen Size: 3 inches (Size of the screen, measured diagonally from corner to corner.)
- Screen Resolution: 921,600 dots (Screens come in a range of resolutions (measured in pixels, horizontal x vertical). The higher the resolution, the greater the picture quality.)
- Touch Screen: false (Touch-screen devices make navigating more intuitive. Using a touch-screen display, you can do things such as tap to select, hold and drag to move items, swipe to scroll, and pinch to zoom.)
- Video
- Slow Motion Recording: false
- Compatibility
- Tripod/Monopod Mountable: true (A support function that allows the device to be mounted to monopods and tripods for leveling and stability.)
- Memory Card Compatibility: Memory Stick Duo, Memory Stick PRO Duo, Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo, Memory Stick Micro, Secure Digital, Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC), Secure Digital Extended Capacity (SDXC), microSD, microSDHC, microSDXC (The type of memory card(s) recommended for use with the product.)
- Features
- Face Detection: true (A function that automatically detects human faces and then sets focus and appropriate exposure to capture them.)
- Smile Mode: true (When enabled, this mode works in conjunction with face detection to automatically take a photo when a smile is detected.)
- Integrated GPS: No
- Records Audio: true
- Connectivity
- Output(s): HDMI, USB 2.0
