Key Features
Rugged and stylish
This camera is just as much at home in the water as on a night on the town! The sleek and stylish camera ts the slimmest
pocket or purse, yet is waterproof to a depth of 33 feet, shockproof from falls up to approximately 5 feet and dustproof
thanks to its airtight construction. This durable camera can even withstand extreme weather conditions, as it is operable
as low as 14 degree Fahrenheit . Seamlessly shiing from underwater marvels to a night on the town, the TX30 always
makes it easy to get the best shot!
3.3" OLED touch screen with high quality viewing
Still photos and movies can be beautifully displayed on the 3.3" OLED with touch-screen (1229K dots). The organic
light emitting display (OLED) shows the image through the lens with higher contrast and a wider viewing angle than
conventional LCDs, for powerful, vivid playback. And, its high-speed response is faster than ordinary LCDs for smoother
playback of dynamic action.

5x optical zoom plus 10x Clear Image Digital 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.
Optical SteadyShot® image stabilization with 2-way Active Mode
Sony's Active Mode image stabilization gives you the freedom to shoot movies even while walking or running³. 2-way
Active Mode corrects for both vertical and horizontal motion.
Enhanced Superior Auto
Enhanced Superior Auto supports scenes with dynamic motion to provide beautiful results even in dark situations. The
result is clearer images with less blur.
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.
Creative shooting with Picture and Beauty eects
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. Beauty Eects allows edits to skin tones, skin smoothing, shine
removal, eye widening, and teeth whitening. Beauty Eects can be combined to further enhance the image.
