Full HD 1080/60p

Record crystal clear movies at the
highest resolution available with
capabilities for 60p in 1080 Full HD. This
provides stunning, fast motion video
with less distortion for playback on
your Blu-ray Disc™ players, Sony

Backlight Correction HDR

Don’t miss a single detail in high
contrast shots. The built in backlight
correction analyzes the image and
automatically adjusts accordingly to
give you a perfectly lit shot. Backlight
Correction HDR helps correct for this by
taking three pictures at different
exposure settings and processing the
best elements of each into a single
image for more natural looking shots.

Hi-

speed Linear Focus

Life moves fast, your camera’

s focus

needs to move just as fast. The Hi-

speed
linear focus achieves dramatically
clearer images with an auto focus that
moves just as fast as your life.

3D still image and Sweep Panorama™
mode

Produce awe-inspiring images with 3D
still image and 3D Sweep Panorama™
capabilities.4 Photos will take on a
new dimension of creative capabilities
for viewing the world in a whole new
way.

Intelligent Sweep Panorama™ mode

With Intelligent Sweep Panorama™
mode just press the shutter, pan the
landscape and let the camera do the
rest. It automatically links together each
frame to produce a high resolution
panoramic image providing the ability
to zoom in on small details. This model
even detects faces and moving subjects
to stitch intelligently different widths to
help avoid subject distortion.

Background Defocus

DSLR photographs are often beautiful
because they blur the background,
putting the emphasis on the 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 keeping the subject crisp
and clear.

Superior Auto mode

Superior Auto modeGet 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.
Superior Auto intelligently detects 33
scenes for still images and 44 scenes for
movies, making it easy to get the best
shot.

Digital Zoom

Capturing the right shot at the right
moment has never been so easy.
Digital zoom brings the action up close
to get that perfect shot, every time.

Optical SteadyShot™ image
stabilization

Optical SteadyShot™ image
stabilization uses a built-in gyro sensor
to detect camera shake and
automatically shifts the lens to help
prevent blur without sacrificing image
quality.

Soft Skin mode

Portrait subjects will love the results. Soft
Skin mode recognizes skin tones and
reduces the appearance of blemishes
and wrinkles without affecting the rest of
the shot.

Natural Flash

Conventional point-and-shoot camera
flash shots just don't capture colors the
way the eye sees them. Natural Flash
mode takes a reference shot without
flash and then uses that reference to
correct the color, for far more lifelike
images.
