Sony CYBER-SHOT DSC-WX5 User Manual

DSC-

WX5

Pictures that you could only imagine are now possible with the DSC-WX5. It starts with the outstanding low

-light performance of Sony's “Exmor R”

CMOS sensor. Amazing features like Superior Auto and

Background Defocus make it easy to get the best shot. There's even 3D Sweep Panorama

and Full HD 1080/60i AVCHD movies.

12.2 Megapixel Back-illuminated “

Exmor R” CMOS Image Sensor

The DSC-WX5 features a 12.2 megapixel “Exmor R” CMOS image sensor that brings out the full resolving power of the camera’s Sony G Lens

F2.4 bright lens to deliver extremely fast speed, high resolution, and stunning low-light sensitivity with improved image clarity and drastically reduced grain. In addition, the combined “Exmor R” CMOS sensor and BIONZ™ image processor delivers extremely fast 10fps, Anti Motion Blur, Hand-held Twilight and 1080i movie modes .

Superior Auto mode

Get cleaner, more dynamic pictures and fewer missed shots. The camera automatically recognizes the correct scene mode, then quickly shoots and combines up to six shots to produce images with greater clarity, optimum dynamic range using backlight correction HDR technology and lower image noise using 6 shots layering technology.

Background Defocus

DSLR photographs are often beautiful because they blur the background, putting the emphasis on your subject. Now our point-and-shoot cameras can deliver this signature DSLR benefit. The system takes two shots, identifies the background and applies a defocused background while keeping your subject crisp and clear.

3D Sweep Panorama

Capture vast scenic vistas and 16:9 shots in spectacular 3D. As you sweep across the panorama, the camera records separate right

-eye and left-

eye images that make landscapes come alive on your 3D television.

Intelligent Sweep Panorama Mode

Capture expansive landscapes with Intelligent Sweep Panorama Mode. Press shutter and sweep and the camera does the rest, continuously, shooting images and in one second stitching them together. This model even detects faces and moving subjects to stitch intelligently different widths to help avoid subject distortion.

1080i AVCHD Movie Mode

Record movies in 1080i AVCHD high definition at 60i . With HDMI connectivity you may enjoy instant playback on compatible HDTV or LCD of the camera. The AVCHD format captures a high degree of detail and smooth movement, and when footage is burned to disc, can be played back on Blu-ray Disc™ players, Sony

PlayStation 3 systems and

compatible PCs and HDTVs.

The convenience Movie start/stop button makes it easy to access this mode.

Backlight Correction HDR

Shooting high-

contrast scenes can often lead to washed out backgrounds and/or details lost in shadow. Backlight Correction HDR helps correct for this by taking two pictures at different exposure settings and processing the best elements of both into a single image for more natural looking shots.
