Sony Cyber-shot® Digital Camera - DSCP41

There’s no waiting to take a shot with the new DSC-P41 Cyber-shot® digital camera from Sony. Thanks to its Real Imaging Processor, the DSC-P41 starts up fast, takes less time between shots, and has less of a lag time between pressing the shutter button and taking the picture. It even uses less power than other cameras in its class.

The DSC-P41 includes features you would expect of a camera twice its price, such as 4.1 Megapixel image sizes, a 1.5-inch LCD screen, slow shutter noise reduction, and 5 area multi-point auto focus. It even includes PictBridge™ compatibility for easy printing without a computer and MPEG Movie VX modes for simple video capture.

• 3X Digital Zoom
  Sony’s Precision Digital Zoom provides an additional 3X magnification without the jagged edges of other designs, resulting in smoother images.

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

  The 1.5" 67K LCD Monitor makes framing shots and reviewing pictures easy.
  
  
• Auto Bright Monitoring
  To help framing in low-or no-light situations, CCD gain is briefly increased to provide an extra bright display on the LCD viewfinder just before exposure.
  
  
• Selectable Focus Mode
  Monitoring AF (Auto Focus) helps you anticipate the action by focusing even before you press the shutter release.
  
  
• Auto Daylight Synchro Fill Flash
  If the Multi-Pattern Measuring system determines the subject is backlit or in shadow, fill flash automatically fires to provide optimum exposure.
  
  
• Pre-Flash Metering
  With a momentary pre-flash, the camera illuminates the subject and sets exposure through the lens for accurate flash metering. Adjustable flash level and red-eye reduction ensure great flash shots.
