| Auto Focus Properties | |
|
The Cyber-shot H300’s auto focus processor uses 1 AF points (or sensors). A basic rule of thumb says that the more AF points you have, the better. More AF points mean a better chance to have a point at the location of interest in a scene, a big plus in challenging situations (e.g. in low light). The Sony doesn’t support manual focussing. That can be an issue if the auto focus has problems with your subject or lighting. |

| Display Specs | |
|
The Cyber-shot H300 features a monitor with a diagonal of 75.00mm (3.0 in.) and a resolution of c. 0.46 megapixel. That rather low resolution is no longer state of the art and will make it difficult to evaluate images on the display. Unfortunately, the Cyber-shot H300’s monitor is not articulated. That can make it tricky to frame your subject in some situations, e.g. when taking selfies. The Cyber-shot H300 does not feature a touch screen. Display characteristics at a glance: |
