6.0 Megapixel Super HAD™  
CCD
Higher megapixels gives you 
more detail and definition for 
large prints and cropping in on 
your subject. Sony’s advanced 
Super HAD (Hole Accumulated 
Diode) CCD design allows more 
light to pass to each pixel, 
increasing sensitivity and 
reducing noise.
Carl Zeiss® 12X Optical/2X 
Digital Zoom/24X Total Zoom
12X Optical Zoom helps the 
DSC-H2 bring distant subjects 
closer and lets you frame shots 
for better composition; Sony’s 
precision 2X Digital Zoom 
provides an additional 2X 
magnification to zoom in close 
without jagged edges.
52X Smart Zoom™  Feature  
Sony's Smart Zoom feature lets 
you magnify your subject 
beyond the 12x optical zoom - to 
16x (3MP), 20x (2MP), even 52x 
(VGA). By intelligently cropping 
into the central portion of the 
scene, it avoids the image 
distortion of other digital zooms.
Super SteadyShot® Optical 
Image Stabilization
Super SteadyShot® Optical 
Image Stabilization fights motion 
blur, even during longer 
exposures at full zoom.
Flexible Exposure Modes
Choose Auto or Program Auto for 
convenience, or get creative with 
Aperture Priority or Shutter Priority 
modes. Manual Exposure Mode 
provides extended control with 
46-step adjustable Shutter speed 
(30 - 1/1000 sec.), and Aperture 
control (F2.8 - F8.0).
Large 2.0” LCD Screen 
The DSC-H2 has a bright 2.0” LCD 
screen for setting up and viewing 
images -- with a one touch “ Play” 
button that makes it quick and 
easy to view your photos.
Simple Controls, Function Guide
User-friendly controls and simple 
on-screen Function Guide 
text/icon display help you set up 
camera functions -- and you’ ll 
have greater creative freedom to 
adjust color mode (including 
“Natural” for subtle colors and 
“Rich” for more intense colors), 
sensitivity, brightness and image 
size.
High Sensitivity Mode
A new High Sensitivity Mode (ISO 
1000) allows you to shoot with 
great results in low-light 
conditions -- and Sony’s original 
Clear RAW NR™  (Noise 
Reduction) image processing 
technology helps suppress the 
color noise that can accompany 
high-sensitivity shooting.
Stamina® Battery Power
With its powerful Nickel Metal 
Hydride (NiMH) rechargeable 
batteries, the DSC-H2 can capture 
up to 400 images per charge --

is also supplied for battery 
recharging on the go.

computer or make prints on your 
digital printer.
