Product Shot 2 The HD Movie Mode of this camera shoots 720p video in 1280 x 720 high definition movies at 30 fps. The 16.1 megapixel sensor of this camera will capture images with detail and contrast in prints up to 13x16". The Cyber-shot DSC-H70's three inch LCD touchscreen allows for easy focus selection and photo viewing. This camera's SteadyShot image stabilization feature, common on Sony digital shooters, uses a built-in gyro sensor to detect camera shake and automatically shifts the lens to help prevent blur. The Cyber-shot DSC-H70's Natural Flash mode takes a reference shot without flash and then uses that reference to correct the color, for images that are lifelike. This camera has a Motion Detection feature that adjusts ISO sensitivity and increases the shutter speed when movement is detected in a picture, reducing blur in moving subjects and faces. There are color options available for the Cyber-shot DSC-H70 digital camera.
