Multi-Pattern Measuring : Independently metering 49 points of the frame, Multi- Pattern Measuring determines the optimum exposure, even when highlight and shadow are randomly distributed
NightFraming System : To capture beautiful color images in low or no light, NightFraming illuminates the subject with the NightShot® system for proper framing, focuses with Hologram AF and lights the scene with flash
Pre-Flash Metering : With a momentary pre-flash, the camera illuminates the subject and calculates exposure through the lens directly from the CCD for accurate flash metering. Adjustable flash level and Red-Eye Reduction insure great flash shots
Quick Start-up and Response : Ready to shoot in little more than a second, the DSC-F717 reduced shutter lag and extraordinary responsiveness is always ready to capture the action
Rechargeable InfoLithium® Battery : Provides reliable, long-lasting power for continuous shooting, without "memory effect". AC-L10 adapter/charger provides stable power for USB transfer
