Sony DPP-FP90 - 3.6 inch LCD screen
The printer allows users to preview and edit photos before printing with built-in displays and enhanced editing features so the quality of digital images can be maximized. And Sony’s Bionz image processor needs just 45 seconds to create a 4 x 6-inch print from a Memory Stick. The Sony DPP-FP90 printer has a 3.6-inch LCD screen that tilts and adjusts for easy viewing.. The photo printer offers the Auto Touch-up feature that corrects common picture problems like exposure, focus and red-eye. With the touch of the Auto Touch-up button on the unit, either printer can correct the exposure of a face if it is over- or under-exposed without affecting the exposure of the background.
Sony FP90 printer - Photo improvement
This same button also gives users the ability to sharpen out of focus images by creating several simulations of camera lens movement, checking the contrast of each simulation and then selecting the best simulated image to improve the original photo for printing. Sony is also introducing the superimpose mode in the Sony DPP-FP90 photo printer. This helps personalize photos by superimposing a special message. You can select from pre-set phrases, such as “happy birthday,” “thank you” and “congratulations.” You can also customize the color and placement of the superimposed text by using the cursor buttons on the printers.
Sony DPP FP90 photo printer - Photo filters
The filter feature on Sony DPP-FP90 photo printer offers six options for modifying digital photos before printing. The cross filter can make the lights in a photo more dramatic, while the partial color filter lets you highlight the subject of a photo in full color and remove color in other areas of the print. The paint filter adjusts the image to appear as if were printed on canvas and the monochrome and sepia filters let you create a more artistic black and white image from a color photo. The fish-eye filter lets you add a new perspective to a portrait or landscape picture.
Sony FP90 photo printer - PictBridge enabled cameras
While the Sony DPP-FP90 photo printer is compatible with most PictBridge enabled cameras, it offers optimized performance with Sony’s Cybershot and Alpha D-SLR cameras. Each printer can access the MakerNotes in the picture files created from Sony digital still cameras and use this data to create the best print based on the settings used when the photo was taken. All PictureStation photo printers use dye-sublimation technology that ensures a continuous color tone for each print. Prints are sealed with SuperCoat 2 laminate, a durable coating that protects photos from fading and makes them resistant to water, heat and fingerprints.
