Sony DSC-P52 Specification Guide

Super HAD (Hole
Accumulation Diode) CCD’s
provide excellent image quality

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

➤

To help frame your shots for
better digital pictures. Optical
Zoom helps you bring distant

subjects closer & pull back for wide shots.

Smart Zoom 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.

Evaluating 3 separate focus
areas of the frame, Multi-Point
AF can intelligently focus on

the subject and avoid mistakenly focusing
on the background.

Briefly illuminating the 
subject in low–or no–light
conditions, AF Illuminator

helps establish a positive focus lock.

Independently light-metering
49 points of the frame, Multi-
Pattern Measuring establishes

the optimum exposure value, even in
scenes where pronounced highlight and
shadow are not centered in the frame.

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.

Digital. Powerful. Transportable.™
Memory Stick media is compact,
portable and rugged—

connecting a variety of hardware and 
software applications.

With 5 Scene Modes, camera
parameters can be matched
to the shooting conditions.

Twilight, Twilight Portrait, Landscape,
Snow and Beach presets make it easy to
optimize difficult shooting environments.

During long Twilight mode
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. 

Sony’s 14-bit Digital EXtended
Processor captures the range
between highlight and shadow

with up to 16,384 values, for extended
dynamic contrast and detail.

1.6" LCD Monitor
Monitors the scene for accurate framing.
61K pixel and anti-glare coating help
provide excellent viewing and image
playback clarity, even outdoors.

➤

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

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 insure great flash shots.

QXGA (2048 x 1536) Image Size
With its high resolution CCD, the 
DSC-P52 captures in 4 different image
sizes, with selectable Fine or Standard
JPEG compression.

Captures 16 320x240 frames
as part of a single 1280x960
image which plays back

sequentially in the camera. Selectable
1/7.5, 1/15, 1/30 second frame intervals
provide convenient motion analysis.

Captures VGA (640 x 480)
high frame rate (16 frames
per second) audio/video clips

with length limited only by the capacity
of the media. Video Mail mode captures
smaller file sizes suitable for email.

Capture up to 10 images and
convert them to an animated
GIF with 2 fps playback. By

varying the interval between shots you
can create animations not possible with
other motion capture modes.

During playback, magnify
any portion of the image up
to 5X and trim to the area of 
your interest. Then, save the
new image as a new file in
any of the image sizes 

available from the menu.
