Manufacturer's Description
--------------------------
The W180 is the new super slim, compact and easy-to-use camera -
a perfect entry to the world of Cyber-. This 10.1 megapixel
camera not only looks great, it’s clever too, with a 3x optical
zoom and advanced shooting features such as Face Detection,
Steady and Smile Shutter technology, making it really simple
to use. Measuring less than 19mm, the W180 is small enough to pop
in your pocket. When you’ve seen a great moment, intelligent
shooting sets you free to snap and soe without worrying
about camera settings.
Simple to use
If you’re new to digital photography, you want controls that are
simple to use and menus that make it easy to find the right
selection. So the W180 has a larger 2.7” LCD screen with clear
icons and menus to make taking great photos as effortless as
possible. The 10.1 effective megapixel resolution means you get
finer detail in the image and use its 3x optical zoom without
losing clarity. What’s more, in Easy mode the camera simplifies
shooting by limiting the number of camera settings and displaying
straightforward instructions.
Small and light enough to carry anywhere
The W180 is slim enough to fit into a bag or even a pocket,
which means you’re ready to shoot whenever a special moment
occurs. Choose from black, red or silver finishes and take it
with you everywhere. The W180 comes with a rechargeable lithium
ion battery and charger.

Face Detection to keep portraits in focus
Face Detection is very handy for shooting larger groups and
scenes where faces might get lost against a detailed background.
The sensor recognises faces as faces and automatically adjusts
the exposure, white balance and flash settings to show skin tones
at their best. Up to 8 faces can be recognised in any scene.
The high sensitivity sensor enables great pictures in low light
The W180’s sensor is measured at ISO 3200 so is highly sensitive
to light and can automatically provide clear images in low light
conditions, such as indoors or at twilight. On top of that, there
are six pre-set options so you can quickly choose the best
settings for a particular type of scene.
Retouch s on the move
If you can want to improve your right there and then, you
can even perform simple retouching operations in camera without
needing to download the image to your PC — such as cropping,
altering exposure or removing red–eye.
Steady uses a sensor to stop hand shake
blurring the pictures View larger

Steady to reduce picture blur
If you are shooting with the camera in your hand, there is
always a danger of handshake spoiling your picture, even if your
subject is stationary. To avoid this problem, the W180 takes two
s at the same time at high shutter speed and combines them
for one bright, blur free image – all you have to do is press the
shutter once.
PMB (Picture Motion Browser) software
Managing your growing photo collection is hugely simplified by
this software which is included with the W180. Just install it on
your PC and it provides a perfect archive for your s which
are all just a click or two away. You can arrange them by date,
by person, and even search through them quickly. From here you
can burn them to discs, send them to friends or upload them to
sites in a matter of seconds. If you connect your W180 or
computer directly to an HD Ready TV you can view your s in
spectacular HD on the big screen. If your TV is a BRAVIA which
supports PhotoTV HD, you’ll be able to experience even more
lifelike HD images, bursting with detail and colours.
