USER FRIENDLY
New levels of comfort and simplicity
Thoughtful features make the H Series extremely user-friendly. For example, image viewing is easy with Clear Photo LCD Plus(DSC-H5), a Mode Dial simplifies the choosing of Scene Selection modes, Function Guidance helps keep you on the right track, and even beginners can enjoy high performance with effortless ease.
Ergonomically designed grip and controls
1 Convenient Mode Dial
To simplify the selection of Shooting modes and Scene Selection modes, Sony provides a user-friendly Mode Dial that turns with a flick of your finger. Just turn the dial to point at the icon of your choice.
2 Helpful Function Guide
This beginner-friendly feature helps simplify operation for novices and veterans alike by providing easy-to-understand guidance, such as pop-up help for icons and simple explanations when selecting modes and image size. With the Function Guide as your personal assistant, you’ll never have to scratch your head over what to do next.
3 Direct Playback button
Simply by pressing the direct Playback button, the camera turns on and enters the Playback mode, displaying the most recently recorded image on the screen. Playback begins quickly whether the power was off or the user was in the Shooting mode: the button is thoughtfully placed within easy reach of the right thumb to allow instant review during shooting. This button makes it easier than ever to check captured images.
4 Image Brightness (EV) adjustment button
When the subject in your photo is too brightly or dimly lit, you can easily adjust the exposure by pressing the (+/-) button and using the front jog dial to raise or lower the exposure value. Now every shot, even when backlit, can easily be transformed into a great looking image.
iconNew elastomer grip
The new H series is especially easy to handle thanks to a new ergonomically designed elastomer grip that fits comfortably in your hand and helps minimise fatigue after long hours of usage. This design additionally helps counter camera shake.
