Editors' Comments
The sleek Sony CyberShot DSC-W7 offers 7-megapixel resolution, a 3x optical zoom, and a huge 2.5" LCD screen. Powered by AA batteries, and small enough to be tucked into a pocket almost unnoticed, the Sony W7 makes a great companion for travelers. While manual controls are available for experienced photographers, seven preset scene modes and a fully automatic mode also make the W7 a great camera for novices.

As I understand it, the Sony trimming effect is to allow you to crop a photo and then save the cropped image as a separate file. If you highlight too small a part of the original image, it may 'pixelate' - look a bit fuzzy due to not having enough density of image points. Try to grab a portion of the image that's a bit larger.

To use any Duo size (including PSP Memory Stick) or Memory Stick Micro, you will need a special adapter as the camera is designed to accept the longer media.
Memory Stick Pro is the recommended stick and has the speed required to record video at the highest setting. The largest size for this is 2 GB but the Duo version at 4 GB will also be accepted. If you don't want to use an adapter, and you can find it (it has been discontinued), the 4GB High Speed Memory Stick Pro can be used. HOWEVER, the largest single file size for shooting video is 2 GB regardless of the stick you choose.
Besides reading my manual (page 89), Sony has a nice chart at esupport.sony.com/EN/info/m... that shows Memory Stick compatibility. The chart also shows what sticks have been discontinued.
Using the standard Memory Stick is not advised as the speed is not quick enough for high resolution video.
Magic Gate versions used with this camera cannot utilize the copyright features of the stick.
If prices will go down, I'd like to buy an 8Gb ms, since I often take many pictures and many videos with the camera (and videos request a lot of memory)
There is, however, a tutorial on how to use your camera as a webcam on the Sony website. ( jesupport.sony.com/perl/mode... )
esupport.sony.com/perl/mode...
(click on the "How to use a digital still camera as a webcam")
You can follow this link ( esupport.sony.com/perl/mode... ) and click on the first listed tutorial on that page, "How to use a digital still camera as a webcam." It should give you the instructions you need. :)
Hope this helps!
