Sony Cybershot DSC-W150 - Features
(Page 3 of 4 )
The features of the Cybershot DSC-W150 are where this digital camera really shines. These features are led by ten shooting modes that offer an option for just about any situation in which you could possibly find yourself. The unfortunate down side of this is that there is no fully manual mode for shooting pictures. While this may bother some users, they are typically the ones that are looking for a much more expensive and higher quality camera anyway.
One of the star features of the DSC-W150, according toSteve’s DigiCams , is the ability to differentiate the faces of adult and children. Although this feature was described before, it bears repeating simply for its technological merit. An offshoot of this feature is Sony’s Smile Shutter. This other new feature will hold the camera until the individuals in the image are smiling. As soon as they smile, the camera will take a picture. While this feature is very neat and good for impressing your friends and playing around with, in actuality it is not incredibly useful and sometimes does not work as well as you might hope.
One feature that you will find very helpful when you are taking pictures is the image stabilization. Although virtually every point-and-shoot in the modern market does offer some form of image stabilization, Sony’s is better than many. The feature is invaluable, automatically improving the quality of all of your images with no extra effort on your part.
A really good feature set of the DSC-W150 is its post capture suite. This starts with the ability to apply basic effects to any of your photos. This includes red eye touch ups that will solve a lot of headaches you may have experienced in the past. You are also able to crop the images that you have taken while they are still on your camera.
To view your photos while on your camera, you have a couple of options. You can view a slide show fully accompanied by included music and effects. There is also the option of purchasing a dock that will allow you to hook your camera up to your television.
