Features

Take beautiful 8.1 megapixel photos with a camera that fits in your pocket. The Cyber-shot® DSC-S780 digital camera raises the bar for other cameras in this class. It features advanced Face Detection technology optimizes focus, exposure, and color for accurate reproduction of up to three faces.

What's more, a high ISO sensitivity helps reduce blur when shooting without a flash, even in low light.

8.1 MP Super HAD™ CCD
More megapixels give you more detail and definition when you make big prints or crop in tight on your subject. The advanced Sony® Super HAD™ (Hole Accumulated Diode) CCD design allows more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise.

3X Optical Zoom Lens
3X optical zoom brings distant subjects closer to help you capture sharp, detailed long shots and quickly frame images for better composition -- great for family sports, outdoor fun, and travel photos.

2.5”1 TFT LCD Display
The large, bright 2.5”1 TFT LCD display makes it easy to compose shots, check results, and read menus in sharp natural color, even in bright sunlight.

Face Detection
Face Detection technology automatically controls focus and exposure to help reveal faces in shadows, make skin tones look more natural, reduce red-eye, and eliminates harsh facial glare.

5-Point Auto Focus
A five-point auto focus evaluates your shot at 5 points on your screen -- so you’ll get great results even with off-center subjects that make interesting photo compositions.

High Sensitivity (ISO 1250) Mode
For sharp, flash-free photos without blur, high sensitivity (ISO 1250) allows shooting at higher shutter speeds for better pictures in low-light conditions -- great for birthday parties, indoor gatherings, and candid portraits.
