- General
- Product Name: DSC-QX30 20.4-Megapixel Digital Camera for Select Smartphones
- Brand: Sony
- Model Number: DSCQX30/B
- Color: 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): 5184 x 3888 (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: 60x (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.)
- 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.)
- Focus
- Autofocus: true (Allows the camera to automatically focus through the lens, rather than by adjusting the lens manually.)
- Exposure Control
- Shutter Speeds: iAuto: 1/1600 - 4 sec.; Program Auto: 1/1600 - 1 sec.; Aperture Priority: 1/1600 - 8 sec.; Shutter Priority: 1/1600 - 30 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.)
- Burst Mode: true (Also referred to as continuous shooting. This feature captures multiple shots in rapid succession.)
- Self Timer: true
- Panorama Mode: false
- White Balance Modes: Auto, daylight, cloudy, fluorescent (cool white, day white, daylight), incandescent (Settings that calibrates how the color white is rendered in an image/video, reducing the appearance of unnatural contrasts caused by various light sources.)
- Lens
- Lens Mount Compatibility: Not Applicable
- Flash
- Integrated Flash: false
- Display
- 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.)
- Compatibility
- Tripod/Monopod Mountable: Yes (A support function that allows the device to be mounted to monopods and tripods for leveling and stability.)
- Memory Card Compatibility: Memory Stick Micro, 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.)
- Integrated GPS: No
- Records Audio: true
- Connectivity
- PictBridge Enabled: false (PictBridge allows digital cameras, camcorders and other image capture devices to connect and print directly to photo printers and other output devices without using a computer.)
- Included
- Batteries Included: true (Indicates whether the product comes with the required batteries for its operation.)
- Memory Card Included: false (Indicates whether a memory card is included.)
- Dimensions
- Product Height: 2.6 inches (The out of box height of the item. Height is measured as the vertical distance from the bottom of the item to the top as it would be primarily used or placed.)
- Product Width: 2.75 inches (The out of box width of the item. Width is measured as the horizontal distance from one side of the item to the other as it would be primarily used or placed.)
