FEATURES

Sleek Styling, Ultra-Slim Dimensions The DSC-T30 is Sony's sleekest ultra-slim design -- an amazing demonstration of how much image resolution and high-tech performance can be incorporated in a camera that's only about the size of a credit card.
Slide Show with Select Music Playback 1 View in-camera images in Slide Show sequence, with one-button operation, selectable transition effects and up to four music background tracks 1 that make it more entertaining to share your memories with family and friends. You can even use supplied Picture Package Music Transfer software to add your own favorite music.
7.2 Megapixel Super HAD™ CCD It's another step up in megapixel performance, giving each photo greater detail when you make large prints and view pictures on big-screen TVs -- with Sony's advanced Super HAD (Hole Accumulated Diode) CCD design that allows more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise.
Super SteadyShot® Optical Image Stabilization To compensate for shaky hands, Sony's Super SteadyShot® system detects camera movement and sends correcting signals to a stabilization lens to reduce image blur -- a real advantage when shooting in low light with such a small camera.
Sharp, Clear Photos Without Flash The DSC-T30 provides High Sensitivity Mode (ISO 1000) to let you shoot in low light without flash to preserve the mood or capture great shots in locations where flash is not permitted. Sony's Clear RAW™ Noise Reduction system also counter the picture noise traditionally associated with high ISO imaging -- and with Sony's Super SteadyShot® system to compensate for camera shake, you'll be able to get great results with a wide range of subjects and lighting conditions.
Carl Zeiss® 3X Optical/2X Precision Digital Zoom An ingenious lens design provides 3X Optical Zoom capability in amazingly compact camera dimensions -- and even at full zoom the lens doesn't project beyond the camera body, preserving the ultra-slim styling of the DSC-T30.
Capture Images In-Camera With 58 MB Internal Memory, the DSC-T30 allows you to shoot photos without a flash memory card -- so you can always get your shot even if you forgot your card. From internal memory, you can easily transfer your images to Memory Stick Duo™ or Memory Stick PRO Duo™ media, upload to your computer or make prints on your digital printer.
3.0" Clear Photo LCD Plus™ Screen 2 With its Clear Photo LCD Plus™ design, the large 3.0" screen 2 of the DSC-T30 gives you a big, bright image that makes it easy to set up shots, share results and read menus even in bright sunlight.
Versatile Color Modes The DSC-T30 gives you greater creative freedom to adjust color mode for the creative results you want -- with new Natural setting for subtle colors and Vivid setting for more intense colors, in addition to Standard, Monochrome and Sepia color settings.
High-Stamina InfoLithium® Rechargeable Battery A supplied NP-FR1 InfoLithium® rechargeable battery lets you shoot up to 420 pictures on a full charge 2 , recharges quickly and easily, and shows you about how much shooting time remains.
14X Smart Zoom™ Feature Sony's Smart Zoom feature lets you magnify your subject beyond the 3x optical zoom - to 3.6x (5MP), 4.5x (3MP), even 14x (VGA). By intelligently cropping into the central portion of the scene, it avoids the image distortion of other digital zooms.
Real Imaging Processor™ LSI To improve camera response and extend battery life, Sony's Real Imaging Processor™ LSI (Large Scale Integrated) circuit decreases shutter lag, improves picture quality and clarity, and increases battery stamina.
Sleek Styling, Ultra-Slim Dimensions The DSC-T30 is Sony's sleekest ultra-slim design -- an amazing demonstration of how much image resolution and high-tech performance can be incorporated in a camera that's only about the size of a credit card.
Memory Stick Duo™ Media The DSC-T30 has a built-in slot for optional Memory Stick Duo™ or Memory Stick PRO Duo™ media that provides ultra-compact, high-capacity shooting and recording.
MPEG Movie VX Fine Mode The DSC-T30 can capture VGA (640 x 480) audio/video clips at high frame rate (up to 30 frames per second 3 ), with length limited only by the capacity of your media.
