| Features |
| 8.1 MP Super HAD™ CCD | | More megapixels give you more detail and definition when you make big prints or crop in tight on your subject. The advanced Sony® Super HAD™ (Hole Accumulated Diode) CCD design allows more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise.
|
| Carl Zeiss® 5X Optical Zoom Lens | | 5X optical zoom gives you the power to get even closer to the action -- a real benefit for distant landscape views and dramatic portraits.
|
| Wide Angle Lens | | Wide angle (30 mm-150mm4) lens captures more of the scene
|
| 2.7” Clear Photo LCD Display | | A large, bright 2.7” Clear Photo LCD display includes an anti-reflective coating that provides for excellent visibility to help you compose, view, and share photos with superb clarity and color reproduction, even in bright sunlight.
|
| Face Detection | | Face Detection technology automatically controls flash, focus, exposure, and white balance to help reveal faces in shadows, make skin tones look more natural, reduce red-eye, and eliminate harsh facial glare.
|
| Smile Shutter Mode | | Smile Shutter Mode helps you capture smiles automatically as they happen.
|
| Sony Double Anti-Blur Solution | | The combination of Super SteadyShot® optical image stabilization and high ISO sensitivity helps compensate for shaky hands, minimizes blur, and allow flash-free shooting to preserve the mood.
|
| Super SteadyShot® Optical Image Stabilization | | Super SteadyShot® Image Stabilization compensates for shaky hands and minimizes blur with optical sensors that detect camera movement and send correcting signals to a stabilization lens -- so there’s no need to crop in on your shot to reduce blur.
|
| High Sensitivity (ISO 3200) Mode | | With high sensitivity of ISO 3200, you can shoot effectively in low light without flash to preserve the mood, while the Sony Clear RAW™ Noise Reduction system helps suppress the color noise that can degrade low-light shots.
|
| Intelligent Scene Recognition Mode | | Intelligent Scene Recognition mode automatically detects six different types of scenes and selects the appropriate camera setting
|
| Dynamic Range Optimization Standard & Plus | | Powered by the exclusive Sony Bionz® high-speed processing engine, Dynamic Range Optimization preserves image data in bright highlights and reveals more detail in shadows or backlit areas -- for great results even in difficult lighting conditions.
|
| Convenient Photo Modes | | To adjust quickly for specific shooting situations, you can choose from several convenient photo modes, including Auto, Program Auto, and Scene Selections such as Twilight, Landscape, Soft Snap, Snow, High Sensitivity, and Beach environments.
|
| MPEG Movie VX Fine Mode | | Capture VGA (640 x 480) audio/video clips at a high frame rate (up to 30 frames per second). The maximum length of time you can shoot continuously is about 10 minutes.
|
| Automatic Macro Shooting | | Standard Auto Focus now covers the macro focus range, eliminating the need to manually change focus modes for close-up photography.
|
| 9-Point Auto Focus | | Because an off-center subject can make your shot more interesting, a 9-point auto focus measures auto-focus at 9 precision points instead of 5 -- giving you greater creative freedom to compose your image.
|
| Smart Zoom® Feature5 | | The Sony Smart Zoom® feature5 intelligently “crops into” the central portion of interest in your photo, helping avoid the image degradation of other digital zooms.
|
| 15 MB2 Internal Memory | | Even if you forget your flash memory card, you can get the shot because 15 MB2 internal memory lets you capture a limited number of shots with in-camera convenience, then easily transfer your shots to a PC or optional Memory Stick Duo™ media.
|
| Memory Stick Duo™ Media Convenience | | A built-in slot accepts optional Memory Stick Duo™ media or Memory Stick PRO Duo™ media -- the compact, high-capacity storage media that make it easily to upload photos to your PC and are compatible with millions of devices worldwide.
|
| “PhotoTV HD”8 | | PhotoTV HD compatibility8 allows the camera to be connected to a PhotoTV HD-capable Sony BRAVIA™ HDTV via the optional HD output adaptor, for highly detailed, high-definition color images displayed in unprecedented realism and full HD quality.
|
| Photo Music 4 | | PHOTOMUSIC combines images with music to produce fun and entertaining slide shows. The five standard visual effects (Simple, Basic, Nostalgic, Active and Stylish) have been supplemented with Face1: Basic, Face2: Nostalgic and Face3: Stylish for a total of eight effects. Additionally, the number of music tracks stored in the camera memory has been doubled from four to eight, and music playback time has been extended from three to five minutes per track. More personalized slide shows are also possible by transferring music from a PC to the camera.
|
| In-Camera Retouching | | Add creative effects to photos after you shoot using any of 10 editing functions, including: Trimming, Red-Eye adjustment, Soft Focus filter, Unsharp Mask, Cross filter, Partial Color filter, Fish-eye filter, Retro, Radial Blur and Happy Face. The Happy Face effect uses photo retouching to put a smile on faces, with smile levels adjustable from 1 to 5.
