In keeping with its tradition of miniturisation, Sony introduces the DSC-F1 digital camera, an exceptionally small and lightweight model that slips easily into any jacket pocket. Its progressive scan CCD, primary colour filter and 350,000 square pixels all add up to excellent image reproduction. The camera is powered using a rechargeable lithium-ion battery or an AC adaptor, both supplied.
Users can store pictures in any of the three modes simultaneously.
A third possibility is the video out jack which lets pictures be displayed on a TV screen. Users can also record moving or still images onto video tape with this interface, and add a voiceover for a truly professional presentation of their own pictures. For those who like to do it all themselves, the DSC-F1's straighforward menu commands make it easy to set parameters manually. Less experienced users can select automatic mode to be sure of quality pictures from the very beginning. The DSC-F1 offers a wealth of options when it comes to playing back images.
