The Sony Cyber-shot® DSC-R1 is the world’s first camera (as of Sept. ‘05) to combine a huge APS-class image sensor with Live Preview. The result is a combination of compact size, versatility and superb picture quality. At more than 12 times the size of the typical sensor, Sony’s APS class CMOS sensor delivers high sensitivity, low noise and a phenomenal 10.3 megapixels of resolution. v3 10.3 Megapixel CMOS image sensor Sony’s first digital camera with a Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor, the DSC-R1 delivers fabulous detail, perfect for giant, poster-sized prints, professional 4-color offset printing and other advanced applications. Live Preview Pros count on being able to see what the camera sees. Live Preview of the scene in the electronic viewfinder and LCD monitor shows 100% framing accuracy for total confidence. You can preview exposure and depth of focus so you know what you’re getting before you take the shot! Zeiss® Vario-Sonnar® 5X Optical Zoom Lens The 5X Optical Zoom lens covers an incredible range from an ultra-wide 24 mm to 120 mm (35mm equivalent).

Exclusive Zeiss T* (T-star) coatings reduce internal reflections, suppress lens “flare” and improve image contrast. Remarkably Wide 24mm Angle (35mm Equivalent) Captures scenic and group photos beyond the reach of most D-SLR zoom lenses. 0-15X Smart Zoom™ Feature (at VGA Resolution) The Smart Zoom feature intelligently uses the CMOS imager to let you zoom into the portion of interest by cropping the image size-thus avoiding the image degradation of Digital Zooms. Real Imaging Processor™ Technology The innovative Real Imaging Processor in the DSC-R1 not only improves picture quality and clarity but also improves camera response time, decreases shutter lag and improves battery stamina. v3 Three Color Modes and RAW Capture Choose standard sRGB for accuracy, Vivid sRGB to emulate reversal film, or Adobe RGB for advanced applications. RAW mode brings the latent image into the digital darkroom. RAW files must be converted with Sony’s Image Data Converter SRF software. Gradation Control System (AGCS) Enhances dynamic range, avoids crushed shadow detail and clipped highlights. Eye-Level Electronic TTL Viewfinder. SLR-style shooting gives you a more stable shooting platform, with elbows tucked in to reduce camera shake. 14-Bit DXP A/D Conversion 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. 2.0” LCD Monitor.
