Active Design
The DSC-U60 has been designed to be
durable, yet easy to use. With its unique
“one-handed” operation this camera can
be taken to more “Active” lifestyles such
as the pool, the beach, while skiing, and
even underwater; allowing you to capture
even more spontaneous and creative
memories. 

➤

Beach, Pool, Ski Slope? Splash Resistant
and Waterproof up to 5 feet in depth, the
DSC-U60 is the go anywhere camera for
any occasion, for any weather condition.

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.

Lets you capture your 
precious memories at the
speed of life, rather than

miss “The” shot, waiting for your camera
to start up.

Pre-Flash Metering
With a momentary pre-flash, the camera
illuminates the subject and calculates
exposure through the lens directly from
the CCD for accurate flash metering.
Adjustable flash level and red-eye 
reduction insure great flash shots.

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

rugged—connecting a variety of 
hardware and software applications.

Red-Eye Reduction
The Red-Eye Reduction system uses a
series of pre-flashes that causes the
subject’s pupils to contract, reducing the
possibility of reflection from the back of
the eye that causes the red-eye problem.

➤

With 6 Scene Modes (Soft
Snap, Illumination Snap,
Twilight, Active Outdoor, Vivid

Nature, Underwater), the camera 
parameters are changed to match the
shooting conditions.

Sony’s 12-bit Digital
E

Xtended Processor captures

the range between highlight

and shadow with up to 4096 values, for
extended dynamic contrast and detail.

1.0 " Hybrid LCD Monitor (64K)
Monitors the scene for accurate framing.
The Reflective LCD absorbs and reflects
the ambient light through the LCD to
improve brightness in sunlight.

Auto Bright Monitoring
To help framing in low or no-light 
situations, the CCD gain is briefly
increased to provide an extra bright 
display on the LCD viewfinder just before
exposure.
