Tech features on the Sony G3 include Face Detection linked to both the autoexposure and autofocus systems, and capable of differentiating between (and prioritizing towards) the faces of children and adults. There’s also an Intelligent Scene Recognition function that can identify and automatically switch to the settings for one of eight common scene types – backlight, backlight portrait, twilight, twilight portrait, twilight using a tripod, portrait, landscape or macro. The Sony DSC-G3 can also identify when your subject blinks, warning you when this is the case.
A Smile Shutter function can trigger the shutter automatically when your subject is smiling, while Sony’s Dynamic Range Optimizer tweaks exposure and contrast to prevent lost detail in highlights and shadows.
The Sony Cybershot G3 stores images in 4GB of internal memory, as well as on Memory Stick Duo or PRO Duo cards. Power comes from a proprietary Lithium Ion battery, and the WiFi networking is supplemented with NTSC / PAL video and USB 2.0 High Speed computer connectivity.
