DSC-HX10V/B
Capture the decisive moment and its GPS location automatically with
the DSC-HX10V. Its 16X Optical/32X Clear Image zoom gets you in close
for detailed 18MP pictures, provides optical stabilization for smooth
Full HD videos and high speed AF. Photo Creativity lets you preview
exposure, white balance, and Picture Eects before you shoot.
18.2MP Exmor® R CMOS sensor
The 18.2MP Exmor® R CMOS sensor captures ultra-high denition images that take full advantage
of the camera’s sharp Sony
High Sensitivity data from the sensor, and activates By-Pixel Super Resolution technologies to
reduce noise levels, resulting in stunning low light images with incredible details.
High speed AF
To improve focusing speed and sensitivity, the Exmor® R CMOS sensor uses its rapid throughput
to deliver high-quality image signals to the camera’s BIONZ
focusing speeds, even in low light.
Optical zoom plus Clear image zoom
Most digital zooms use electronic cropping to get closer to the subject, resulting in unsharp
images. With Clear Image Zoom the powerful processor compares patterns found in adjacent
pixels and creates new pixels to match selected patterns, resulting in more realistic, higher-quality
images. Clear Image Zoom doubles optical zoom for closer photos.
Full HD 1080/60i
Record crystal clear movies at the highest resolution available with capabilities for 60i in 1080
AVCHD™ video.¹ This provides stunning, fast motion video with less distortion for playback on your
2
HD TV.
With dual record of stills and movies, you can shoot both at the same time.
Capture the decisive moment with up to 10fps
Capture full 18.2 megapixel resolution images at up to 10 frames per second, helping to ensure
that the decisive moment is captured such as the soccer ball ying into the goal. In addition, a
mechanical shutter helps reduce distortion when continuously shooting moving subjects.
Optical SteadyShot™ with Active Mode
Optical SteadyShot™ with Active Mode for blur-free movies even while walking.4 Camera-shake
compensation using Optical SteadyShot/Active Mode has been improved with the addition of
new electronic image stabilization. Now it’s easier than ever to obtain sharp, blur-free movies
even when zooming in unsteady situations, such as shooting with one hand while walking.
3D Still Image and 3D Sweep Panorama™ mode
Produce awe-inspiring images with 3D Still Image and 3D Sweep Panorama™ capabilities.3
Photos will take on a new dimension of creative capabilities for viewing the world in a whole new
way.
Picture Eect
Picture Eect adds a new level of expression to photos, making ordinary landscapes and portraits
come to life by heightening mood and emphasizing certain attributes. Select camera models
have up to nine dierent eects.
Photo Creativity
Photo Creativity allows you to ne-tune your exposure settings, such as brightness, color, and
vividness, and quickly choose the right enhancement for your subject. Now you can view Picture
Eects and Photo Creativity eects in real time on the camera’s monitor or in the viewnder
before shooting.
Background Defocus
DSLR photographs are oen beautiful because they blur the background, putting the emphasis
on the subject. Now our point-and-shoot cameras can deliver this signature DSLR benet. The
system takes two shots, identies the background and applies a defocused background keeping
the subject crisp and clear
