## Description

From the Manufacturer Sony DSC-W570 Features and value all in a slim design with the Sony DSC-W570. Capture your videos in 720P HD and use Sweep Panorama for breathtaking images. Add more features like iAuto, and Optical SteadyShot image stabilization and this camera is jam packed with everything you need. Sony DSC-W570 Highlights 16.1 Megapixel Super HAD CCD Image Sensor A powerful 16.1 megapixel ½.3-inch Super HAD CCD image sensor helps you capture gorgeous images with superb contrast and clarity down to the finest detail. With 16.1 megapixels, you can create stunning, photo-quality prints up to A3+ (13x19-inch) size, or crop your images and still come away with high resolution shots. 2.7-inch Clear Photo LCD display (230k pixels) 2.7-inch (230K pixels) Clear Photo LCD display features sharp, natural color that makes it easy to compose shots, read menus, and view photos, even in bright sunlight. 720p MP4 HD Movie Mode9 In 720p MP4 movie mode the camera shoots 1280 x 720 high definition movies at 30 fps, which is the format when working with a PC. Users will create high quality movies with full use of optical zoom in files small enough to transfer to compatible PC or Mac. Once transferred to your computer you can effortlessly upload your media to popular photo and video-sharing websites such as Photobucket and YouTube. (Compatible computer with internet capability required) Sweep Panorama Mode Reach beyond the traditional wide angle lens, and capture more breathtaking shots with Sweep Panorama Mode. Simply press the shutter button and sweep the camera in the desired direction and the camera continuously shoots at a high speed, then seamlessly stitches the images together with automatic position adjustment to create one stunning panoramic image. Available in wide and ultra-wide options, the camera can take panoramic shots of up to 235 degrees. Now capturing wide landscapes is as easy as press and sweep. Optical SteadyShot image stabilization Optical SteadyShot image stabilization uses a built-in gyro sensor to detect camera shake and automatically shifts the lens to help prevent blur without sacrificing image quality. Intelligent Auto Mode Unlike traditional auto mode, Intelligent Auto (iAuto) mode thinks for you, recognizing scenes, lighting conditions, faces, and adjusts settings resulting clear images, faces with natural skin tone and less blur. Take advantage of all the technology without leaving Auto mode. Kids on the playground, landscape shots, a beautiful flower or an indoor birthday party; result in clear images without leaving auto mode. Soft Skin Mode Your portrait subjects will thank you for this. Soft Skin mode recognizes skin tones and reduces the appearance of blemishes and wrinkles without affecting the rest of the shot. Natural Flash Conventional point-and-shoot camera flash shots just don't capture colors the way the eye sees them. Natural Flash mode takes a reference shot without flash and then uses that reference to correct the color, for far more lifelike images. Self-Portrait Timer Self-Portrait Timer helps take the guesswork out of self portraits by utilizing Face Detection technology to recognize when your face enters the frame. Once the camera detects your face, it triggers a 2-second timer, and then snaps a picture. In camera guide Take all the guesswork out of photography with the in camera guide. Its convenient step by step instructions lead you to the perfect shot. Face Detection technology Face Detection technology detects up to eight individual faces and adjusts focus, exposure, and white balance to help deliver crisp, properly lit images of family and friends. Smile Shutter technology Smile Shutter technology captures a smile the moment it happens. Simply press the Smile Shutter button and the camera does the rest. You can also select adult and child priority and indicate the degree of Smile Detection Sensitivity. Intelligent Scene Recognition can now be used together with Smile Shutter mode when the Intelligent Auto mode is on. This means that beautiful smiles can be captured with settings optimized for the particular scene, even in difficult conditions such as twilight and backlighting. Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar Lens with 25mm wide 5x Optical Zoom The high-performance Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar 5x optical zoom lens brings distant subjects closer for video recording as well as for outdoor, sports, and travel photos, and Close Focus shoots close-ups up to just under ½-inch from the subject. A wide angle of 25mm wide-angle lens allows you to take wider shots of the scene or group in crowded spaces. Anti-blink Function It’s frustrating to think you’ve captured that perfect shot, only to review it later and discover one of your subjects blinked just as you pressed the shutter. The Anti-blink function works to help counter blinking and squinting. When the camera is set to Soft Snap, the Anti-blink function captures two images, recording only the photo with less squinting. If a blink is detected in other shooting modes, a warning will be displayed after you take the shot. Dynamic Range Optimizer Standard and Plus Dynamic Range Optimizer (DRO) Standard and Plus uses a sophisticated algorithm to help recover shadows and highlights. The result is more natural images with clearer details that more closely match what your naked eye sees. DRO is particularly effective when shooting backlit portraits or any scene with a dramatic contrast between background and foreground lighting. DRO Plus allows for even greater optimization by analyzing each region of an image and performing additional image processing. Intelligent Scene Recognition (iSCN) Mode Intelligent Scene Recognition (iSCN) Mode automatically detects eight different types of scenes and, within just 1/30th of a second, selects the appropriate camera settings: Backlight, Backlight Portrait, Twilight, Twilight Portrait, Twilight using a tripod, Portrait, Landscape and macro. iSCN has two modes: Auto and Advanced. In Auto Mode, the camera takes a single shot using the optimal settings. In Advanced Mode, the camera takes a photo with the optimal settings and, if in difficult lighting (low light or back light) immediately takes a second photo with another optimized setting so you can choose which to keep. High Sensitivity Mode (ISO 3200) High ISO allows for faster shutter speed, so you can take photos indoors or in low light without the need for a flash. In addition to High Sensitivity Mode (ISO), you can select up to seven ISO settings (Auto, 125, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200) when shooting in Program Auto Mode to adjust sensitivity to your shooting conditions. Easy Shooting Mode With Easy Shooting Mode, even beginners can take great photos. In Easy Shooting Mode, easy-to-understand basic instructions are displayed on the LCD screen and the camera switches to all automatic settings, removing several function choices and allowing you to focus on just your subject. Since this mode works together with Intelligent Scene Recognition, the camera selects the optimum setting for each scene. In addition the easy mode simplifies preview mode. In-Camera Retouching Tools Retouch and enhance your photos on the go with in-camera Trimming, Red-Eye Correction, and Unsharp Masking functions. PHOTOMUSIC PHOTOMUSIC combines images with music (4 tracks, 5 minutes per track) to produce fun and entertaining slide shows with standard visual effects (Simple, Nostalgic, Active, and Stylish). Select from pre-loaded tracks on the camera or transfer your own from your compatible computer (sold separately). Includes Sony PMB (Picture Motion Browser) Software ver. 5.32 Sony Picture Motion Browser software offers a simple, intuitive way to transfer, sort, and view your video and still images on your compatible PC.

Review: Easy To Navigate and Operate - Takes Clean/Crisp Pictures. - I bought a Samsung EC-SH100 Wi-Fi Digital Camera with 14.2 MP, 5x Optical Zoom and Touchscreen (Red) earlier this summer and spent the whole summer trying to figure out how to work it. I never figured it out, and it took crappy shots, so finally, I knew I had to throw in the towel and after much much deliberation and reading the reviews on desertcart (and also, people, when reading reviews, if they are totally glowing or totally hating, I check to see how many other reviews they've written, if it's the only review - I know they are probably planted). Anyway, this was on sale for 99.00 when I bought it and I see it's gone up in price again, but I'd have to say, TOTALLY WORTH IT. I was able to start using this out of the box. The menu is easy to understand and navigate (unlike the Samsung - ARGHH!) and the pictures are CLEAR and even in low light without the flash, they come out great. Also - there's a great feature where in lowlight, it will take 2 pictures (if you choose this option) - one with a flash and one without and you can choose which is the best - LOVE IT. I take a ton of food pictures (yes, I 'm one of THOSE people) and it even has a setting for food pictures! I haven't had one blurry picture yet (I always did with the Samsung). I haven't tried the video recorder because I didn't buy it with intention of using it - so I really can't comment on that. I love that the on/off button is very tiny and flush with the camera - that way it won't accidentally turn on when you throw it in your bag and then when you want to take a picture -- you discover the battery is dead (another problem with my other camera). So yes, I love it. So glad I bought it - easy to understand and navigate the menu and takes great pictures. Would highly highly recommend!
Review: Totally Crap Camera - We bought this as a primary camera for our once in a lifetime trip to the Bahamas. It seemed to be doing just fine recording and capturing pictures the first three days, but then all of a sudden, it didn't recognize the files on the memory stick! I pulled the memory stick and re-inserted it and was able to view the shots. This happened three times throughout the 10 day trip. When we got home, I was completely unable to upload the pictures and videos! I tried two different computers to no avail!! This is the second Cyber-Shot camera for us and we never had a problem with the 8.1 MP. I wish I could give it a no star rating!! Very disappointing camera!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: why cant my lens open. i charged the battery**
A: while  usb data cable is  connected the camera is at rest and retracts the lens

**Q: where is this camera  made?? Japan or China**
A: It is made in China but honestly this is a very old camera. I would recommend you to get something made in the last 3 years because this over 10 years old. Get something with wifi or bluetooth so you can quickly access your snaps with out having to use the very odd cable it comes with to transfer photos or remove the memory card.

**Q: Where. to find the shutter. release. button. circular to fit a sony cybershot dsc. wx9**
A: There is a long rectangular button on the top just like it is on the other camera which happens to be circular.

**Q: What type of SD card to they reccomend for this camera?  Or what is the best one to use?**
A: The current fast SD cards are class 10 with faster write and read speeds. According to the manufacturer (Sony), this camera is compatible with class 10 cards. Of course you can also use the older cards too but will have higher speed with the class 10 cards which now do not cost too much more than the older and slower cards.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good for the price
*by A***L on March 12, 2012*

Good little camera for the price. Nothing like the high quality ones or anything, but good for what it is Pros: great size, lightweight, cool colors, easy to figure out, easy to charge battery and get pics off card, battery lasts fine. Cons: not the greatest at focusing close up, not the highest quality, but good enough for sure. Just to put my thoughts in perspective, I had a $900 camcorder stolen that took the best photographs amoung other things. I had to get a camera to make due until the insurance claims came through, etc. I really like the size of this, because I always have it on hand (in my purse). It also has a Carl Zeiss lense like my previous camcorder, and I LOVE the color. It works well enough that I have not replaced my camcorder yet, although there is no comparison between the two. This one does have its advantages though (size).
