Welcome to the home of The White Paper, a guide to getting the
best photos from Sony's ultra-zoom cameras: the DSC-H1, H2, H5, H7 and H9.
These incredibly versatile cameras provide unique opportunities and challenges. Their Carl Zeiss optics produce
amazing macros from as close as 1 - 2 cm and fine detail from miles away. They're all feature-rich, with a wide
array of manual controls, powerful onboard flashes, live-view, excellent LCDs, a full complement of automatic tools,
scenes and settings and even full-motion video. All for less than $500.
But, if you really want to get more than snapshots from your camera, you need to get beyond "automatic".
You need to learn how to get the best quality output from the tiny sensors that enable the huge zooms of the H-Series
(12X - 15X). You need to understand how great photographs are created and how to create them with your ultra-zoom.
That's where The White Paper comes in. It covers a wide range of topics including the basics of digital photography, depth-of-field, bokeh,
the advanced features of your camera, accessories, wide-angle photography, telephoto photography, macro
photography, post-processing and printing.
And it's free to read right here on this site. The good news is that there is now an even-more-comprehensive White Paper eBook available
to download for a modest fee, plus a number of ways to participate in the Sony H-Series community.
Our intent is to provide a safe and supportive location for H-Series owners to learn, exchange ideas and celebrate the
beautiful work they produce with their wonderful cameras.
Don't own a Sony ultra-zoom? No problem. Ninety percent of what's written and discussed here applies to any manufacturer's
ultra-zoom.
Please enjoy the site. Feedback is not just appreciated, it's necessary to building a useful and relevant White Paper. Welcome aboard.
We look forward to hearing from you.
