Sony DSC-F88 Specification Guide

➤

Super HAD (Hole Accumulation

Diode) CCDs provide excellent
image quality by allowing more

light to pass to each pixel, increasing
sensitivity and reducing noise.

➤

Rotating through a 300 degree

travel DSC-F88’s lens lets you
shoot from waist level, overhead

or even fully reversed to let you get in the
picture with full view of the LCD.

Optical zoom helps you fill the

frame with your subject for better
pictures. And Sony’s Precision

Digital Zoom helps bring your subject closer
with an extra 2X magnification.

The Vario-Tessar

®

lens is specially

produced for compact cameras and
provides rapid auto focus with

appealing zoom range. Utilizing a highly
transmissive optical grade prism, the lens is
housed entirely within the camera’s rotating
lens, and does not need to extend for use.

The Smart Zoom feature

intelligently uses the full CCD to let
you zoom into the portion of

interest by cropping the image size – thus
avoiding the image degradation of Digital Zooms.

The innovative Real Imaging Processor

in the DSC-F88 not only improves
picture quality and clarity but also

improves camera response time, decreases shutter
lag and improves battery stamina.

Available in capture and playback

the Live Histogram Displays the
concentration of pixels at each

luminosity value making it easy to evaluate
correct exposure.

By evaluating 5 separate focus

areas of the frame, Sony’s 
Multi-Point AF system can

intelligently focus on the subject and avoid
mistakenly focusing on the background.

Manual Exposure Mode provides

extended control with 46-step
adjustable Shutter speed

(30 – 1/1000 sec.), and 2-step Aperture control.

Briefly illuminating the subject, in

low – or no – light conditions, the
AF Illuminator helps establish a

positive focus lock.

Selectable Focus Mode
Monitoring AF (Auto Focus) helps you
anticipate the action by focusing even before
you press the shutter release.

Independently light-metering 49

points of the frame, Multi-Pattern
Measuring establishes the

optimum exposure, even when highlight and
shadow isn’t centered in the frame.

With 10 Scene Modes, parameters

can be matched to the shooting
conditions. Choose from one of the

following: Twilight, Twilight Portrait, Landscape,
Soft Snap, Candle, Snow, Beach, Fireworks,
High Speed Shutter or Magnifying Glass.

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.

During long exposures, Slow

Shutter NR captures the scene,
and then the CCD noise pattern

with a dark frame exposure. By subtracting the
two, even long exposures can be clear.

1.8" LCD Monitor
The 1.8" 134K LCD Monitor makes framing
shots and reviewing pictures easy.

Digital. Powerful. Transportable.™

Memory Stick

®

media is compact,

portable and rugged – connecting

a variety of hardware and software applications.

Captures VGA (640 x 480) high

frame rate (16 frames per

media. Video mail mode captures smaller file
sizes suitable for email.

With VCL-07FEB wide conversion

lens, you can expand your
camera’s field of view, helping

you capture the entire scene. It’s especially
helpful in self-shooting when holding the
camera at arm’s length.
