Ultra-compact, lightweight design:

-compact, lightweight HDRCX100 is designed for maximum
portability. Measuring just 2 1/4 x 2 3/8
x 4 1/2 inches and weighing just 11
ounces, the HDR
-CX100 makes an ideal
travel companion.
Face Detection technology for Video
Footage and Digital Still Photos:
Made possible by the BIONZ™ image
processing engine, Face Detection
technology recognizes up to 8 faces
anywhere in the frame and by selecting
the most prominent, automatically
controls focus, exposure, and color to
help capture smiling faces brightly and
clearly. Face Detection technology also
helps make skin tones look natural
without affecting other colors in the
image. On AVCHD models, the
camcorder allocates encoding bits on
detected face areas prior to encoding
other parts of the picture, making them
sharper and clearer. In still picture
mode, Face Detection technology sets
the flash level to optimize picture
clarity.
Smile Shutter
™ technology for still and
dual capture:
Smile Shutter™ technology lets the
camcorder automatically take still
photos when your subject smiles, even
while shooting high definition video.
You can also set the sensitivity and
choose child, adult, or auto priority.
