Sharing your pictures
When your pictures take the form of exposed
film, you need to wait for processing before
you can share them with anyone. When
your pictures take the form of digital files,
you can start sharing immediately. There’s no
need to run to the drug store. No processing
time to wait. And nothing to mail in.
The electronic photo album
With digital pictures, as long as you’ve got
your camera, you’ve got a photo album.
• The camera as photo album.
Digital cameras, especially those
with large screens, are well suited
to showing off your pictures.
• The television as photo album.
Connect your camera to your television
to show the whole gang where you
were and what you did on vacation.
• The PC as photo album.
You can connect your camera to a
compatible PC via USB cable. Then
you have a choice of copying your
pictures onto the PC or simply viewing
the pictures, using your camera as
an external PC drive.
• The CD-ROM as photo album.
You can easily copy onto CD-ROM
for long-term storage and sharing
with friends.
• The Internet as photo album.
Photo websites including our own
ImageStation.com enable you to
post pictures to your own personal
web page and invite selected friends
and family to view them.
Digital photo prints
Thanks to the amazing flexibility of digital
technology, there are more ways than ever
to generate beautiful, long-lasting prints.
• PC-free digital photo printing
Sony DPP-FP70 and DPP-FP90
PictureStation
™ printers are optimized
for your photos, and need not be
connected to a PC. The PictBridge
print interface and USB connection
from the camera to the printer make
everything fast and easy.
• PC printing
It’s also easy to print photos from
your PC, using a compatible printer.
• Kiosk printing
Many convenience stores, drug
stores, and business service stores
offer digital print kiosks, including our
own PictureStation kiosks. Kiosks
typically offer a touch-screen display
that makes it easy to select print
sizes, quantities and enhancements
like borders and captions.
• Internet printing
Here’s another benefit of photo websites
such as our ImageStation.com. You
can submit your pictures over the
Internet, and then order prints in a
complete range of sizes including
giant, 20 x 30-inch enlargements.
You can even order specialty items
such as greeting cards, calendars,
mugs and mouse pads imprinted
with your pictures!
Digital photos and computer
applications
The JPEG images produced by Sony digital
cameras are not just pictures. They’re also
computer files, compatible with an incredible
range of computer applications.
• E-mail
Why bother going out to get a print,
putting it in an envelope and sending
it via first class mail? You can e-mail
pictures in seconds, either as “file
attachments” or in the body of the
email message itself!
• Presentations and websites
Even in the digital age, a picture is
still worth the proverbial 1,000 words.
Sony features
for sharing
Full HD 1080 still image viewing
Your HDTV just got another great new
high definition source: selected Sony
Cyber-shot
® cameras.
Sony is the expert in all
things HDTV, and our BRAVIA
™
televisions are the market
leaders. So it’s no coincidence that you can
now connect a Cyber-shot
® camera to your
HDTV and enjoy your pictures with over four
times the detail of conventional, standard
definition TV. Full HD 1080 still image
viewing is a great way to share your still
pictures – and a stunning way to show
off the performance of your HDTV. (HDTV
and HD connecting cables sold separately.)
Some cameras go even further, enabling
you to set up an HD Slide Show with music.
There are three ways to connect to an
optional HDTV and enjoy the Full HD
1080 performance:
• Connect via the optional VMC-MHC1
cable, which goes right to the Y/Pb/Pr
component video inputs of an HDTV.
• Dock your camera in an optional
CSS-HD1 Cyber-shot Station ™ cradle
that stays connected to your HDTV.
• Enjoy simultaneous slide shows and
printing with the DSC-W80HDPR
bundle. This includes the DSC-W80
camera, DPP-FPHD1 PictureStation
®
printer and a Cyber-shot Station cradle.
For business or pleasure, it’s easy
to liven up your documents and web
pages with the pictures you’ve taken.
• Desktop publishing
Graphic design software is set up to
import your pictures and show them
off to good effect.

Slide Show
Sony Cyber-shot ® cameras actually put
your pictures to music.
Most Cyber-shot models are more than just
cameras. They’re also portable slide shows.
Not only can you use the giant LCD monitor
screen to show off your pictures, but the
cameras will advance automatically through
your pictures at selectable transition speeds.
And you can even run the show to your
choice of background music!
Of course, you can also run the Slide Show
on your television. And models with Full HD
1080 still image viewing can even run a
high definition Slide Show that will look
amazing – especially when you connect
your Sony camera to a Sony BRAVIA
™ HDTV!
Album feature
The DSC-N2 and G1 aren’t just cameras;
they’re also portable photo albums.
Every time the DSC-N2 and G1 take a
picture, they save it into memory for keeps!
There’s room for up to 500 VGA-sized
images (DSC-N2) or 7500 full-sized images
(DSC-G1). So you can have all your favorite
photos with you wherever you go! Someone
hasn’t seen your kids in years? New
construction in your back yard? European
vacation? With the Album feature, you
don’t just talk about it. You can show it!
2 Gigabytes of
on-board storage
The DSC-G1 stores and organizes up to
7500 full resolution pictures.
With 2 gigabytes on-board (1.86 GB net
available for storage), the DSC-G1 has
convenient ways to organize your pictures.
The camera automatically groups pictures
by shooting occasions. And the supplied PC
software helps make the on-board storage
even easier to manage.
