The DSC-F77 caters for the camera enthusiast who wants an advanced set of features and functions but also demands a sleek, compact and stylish camera. The camera's compact and stylish design easily fits inside your shirt pocket and still these elegant good looks conceal a powerful 4.0-megapixel Super HAD CCD and integrates advanced Carl Zeiss Distagon lens technology. This lens (F2.8, 37mm) ensures extremely high-quality color reproduction and high image resolution. When combined with 14-bit DXP digital processing, Sony's Clear Color NR and Clear Luminance NR functions the camera ensures maximum image quality combined with simple and intuitive operation. Another key benefit of the DSC-F77 is its operating speed, allowing the user to capture the moment as it happens. The rotating lens operates as an on/off switch - a feature that significantly reduces the time taken to shoot a picture. The camera takes less than one second to power up while the shutter time lag is only 0.35 seconds and a shutter interval speed is approximately 2 seconds. Another feature that speeds up operation is the latest high-speed USB 2.0.
