Shooting Waterfalls with the Sony Cybershot DSCW120

The compactness of the Sony Cybershot DSCW120 together with a waterproof pouch is perfect for taking photos of  spelunking trips, the beach or waterfalls so that you won’t damage your digital camera’s electronic parts.

Sony Cybershot DSCW120 digital cameras have a 7.2 MP resolution.  This is a very affordable camera with power packed features including a 4x Optical zoom and 9 Auto Focus modes.  Eye strain will not be a problem with the 2.5 inch LCD screen at 115,000 dots.

Sony Cybershot DSCW120 has an internal memory of 15 MB.  This camera can also use up to a 16 GB Memory Stick Duo or Duo Pro.

Super Steady Photos

For those prone to blurry shots, the SuperSteady Shot Image Stabilization is a welcome relief. You will find this feature helpful when a tripod is inconvenient.

The Sony Cybershot DSCW120 has a 1/4000-1/6000 shutter speed which can capture more photos than the normal point and shoots out there. Perfect for those with itchy trigger fingers. This fast shutter speed is especially useful when you are taking photos of kiddie parties.

Capture Perfect Smiles

One of the most interesting features is the Smile Shutter Mode which can capture up to 8 smiles. You can set smiles for up to 8 people, kids can be preferred over adults or vice versa. When the shutter is pressed, the camera automatically takes a picture when the subject smiles up to 6 shots. Although it sets to a higher ISO like 400 which in film photography is used for sports and action.

Smile Shutter Mode makes an interesting series of shots especially perfect when you like taking portraits. Smile Shutter Mode is very useful for baby shots.  Capturing the smiles of kids is often very challenging since they don’t smile on command. You can just put the Sony Cybershot DSCW120 in a tripod and take pictures of your kids.

Normally in a group shot like weddings or family pictures, some of the members swivel or move around a lot especially the kids. With the smile shutter, this can minimize mistakes. Especially useful when you have a lot of kids squeezed inside the frame.

Just remember to buy an extra battery for vacation photos or even for at home. You do not want to miss taking photos of your loved ones.

Waterfalls are one of the most challenging subjects to capture. You can go with a wide angle majestic looking landscape from a vantage point or a close-up section of the waterfall itself with the 28-132mm lens of the Sony W120.
