The Sony H3 combines eight megapixel resolution with a 2.5" LCD display and a powerful Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar branded 10x optical zoom lens, offering a range from a rather tight 38mm wide angle to a very useful 380mm telephoto. As with previous H-series models, the DSC-H3's lens incorporates Sony's Super Steady Shot optical image stabilization to minimize blur caused by camera shake - an essential feature for such a long zoom when not using a tripod. |

| Other Sony H3 features include ISO sensitivity to a maximum of ISO 3200, an advanced sports shooting mode which combines predictive continuous autofocus with high shutter speeds, a Memory Stick Duo / PRO Duo card slot plus 31MB of built in memory, and power from a proprietary Lithium Ion rechargeable battery. The DSC-H3 also offers high definition component video output, via a proprietary cable. |
| The H3 includes Sony's face detection technology, which is linked not only to the camera's autoexposure and autofocus systems as in most similar systems, but also to white balance and flash metering as well - allowing the camera to ensure proper flash exposure and pleasing flesh tones. Also, the H3 includes Sony's Bionz image processor - first seen in the company's Alpha digital SLRs - which the company says will offer improved image quality, faster response times, and better battery life in its compact cameras. |
