DSC-TX5
10.2MP | 4x OPTICAL ZOOM | 3.0” TOUCH SCREEN LCD
Sony’s fi rst certifi ed waterproof / dustproof / shockproof / freeze-proof
camera
or purse. Yet it’s waterproof to depths of 10 feet, shockproof from falls of
5 feet, and dustproof thanks to its airtight construction. With “Exmor R”
CMOS sensor, this tough little camera is capable of powerful features
like 10fps, iSweep Panorama and 720p MP4 HD movie recording.
Review your shots with the touch
of a fi nger
The large 3” Wide Clear Photo LCD Plus™ touch
screen display¹ (230K pixels) allows you to scroll
through images by simply touching the display.
Take clearer photos with less
grain in low-light conditions
The DSC-TX5 features a 10.2 megapixel,
back-illuminated “Exmor R” CMOS image
sensor. This advanced technology leverages
the full resolving power of the camera’s 25mm
equivalent wide Carl Zeiss
lens, plus gives the camera stunning low-light
sensitivity for capturing extraordinarily clear
images with drastically reduced grain.
Be sure to catch all those
once-in-a lifetime moments
The DSC-TX5 can capture up to ten full 10.2
megapixel resolution images per second.
So now you can be sure to capture the bat
hitting the game-winning homerun, the lead
runner crossing the fi nish line, and other
decisive moments. The camera also uses a
mechanical shutter to help reduce distortion
when continuously shooting moving subjects.

degrees. This model even detects faces and
