Key features
8.1 Megapixel camera
The main camera is 8.1 megapixel and includes auto focus, an image and video stabiliser, 16x digital zoom, Photo flash, BestPic™, Auto rotate, Face detection, smart contrast and Photo fix. All this means high quality photos. The Photo flash can be used as video light when recording videos. The camera is pro­tected by a lens cover. The horizontal user interface allows for easier camera handling. A photo can be shared as a picture message, email message or blog with friends or family. Photos can also be transferred to another phone or computer using any available transfer method, such as Bluetooth™ wireless technol­ogy or USB cable.
Video telephony
Video telephony lets you share moments with friends and family as they happen or save them to share later. You can also use video telephony to see others while talking to them. Video telephony takes people connecting to the next level and is the next best thing to being there in person.
TrackID™
TrackID™ enables the user to identify a track playing on the built-in radio, or a track playing in the room. A few seconds of the song is sampled, the phone connects to an online database, which identifies the song and returns title, artist and album information.
Stereo widening
The Stereo Widening effects improve the sound experience when listening to music through a stereo Bluetooth headset, external stereo speakers or a stereo portable handsfree.
2.4-inch QVGA scratch resistant mineral glass screen
The large 2.4-inch (240x320 pixels) full graphic QVGA 262k colour screen enhances viewing, facilitating high-quality multimedia and entertainment.
GPS (Global Positioning System)
With the GPS and location based services such as preloaded Google Maps™ for mobile and a free three­month trial version of Wayfinder Navigator™, you can find out where you are and how to find your way. The GPS supports geo tagging. When a photo is taken, it is tagged with geographic data, meaning that the location where the photo was taken can be shown on a map.
BestPic™
A unique function for Sony Ericsson camera imaging. Taking a single photo or even a burst of photos does not always catch the moment, which may have been just before or just after the camera key was pressed. BestPic™ is designed to solve this problem. Press the camera key half way down and the camera starts capturing photos. Press the key fully down, and seven photos appear automatically. The photos range from left (just before pressing the camera key fully down) to centre (camera key fully down) to right (just after pressing the camera key fully down). The centre photo is the default photo, but not necessarily the best one. Browse the photo series and save the best photos.
Auto rotate
Capturing a portrait photo with a horizontal camera, usually results in a photo which must be rotated man­ually when viewed later, in the phone. Auto rotate is a new feature, which enables C905 Cyber-shot™ to register how the phone is oriented when the photo is taken, whether it is held in portrait or landscape
6 October 2008
White paper C905 Cyber-shot™
mode. This information is saved with the photo. When viewed, the photo is automatically rotated and pre­sented with the same orientation as it was originally taken.
Video camera
The camera captures a video recording and saves it in the phone or on a memory card. A video clip can be shared as a picture message or email with friends and family or using any available transfer method, such as Bluetooth™ wireless technology. The phone supports QVGA size video recording.
Web feeds
A built-in RSS (Really Simple Syndication) Reader is used in combination with the Internet browser. When browsing, frequently updated content such as news headlines or podcasts can be received as feeds.
Web feeds ticker
News headlines you subscribe to can be shown in standby using Web feeds.
Wi-Fi™
Access the Internet by connecting to Wi-Fi™ networks. Browse the Internet at home (personal networks) or in public access zones (hot spots). Standards supported are 802.11b and 802.11g.
HTML Web browser support
Browse the Internet and look at Web sites in a different way with Access NetFront™ 3.4 – an HTML browser which supports a complete Web standard suite.
Landscape browsing support
View Web pages in landscape mode.
Mobile blogging
Send photos and video clips using the Internet to show on your personal blog, allowing people easy access to view and comment on your photos and video clips.
Photo tags
Navigate through your captured photos and thousands of downsized photos transferred from your computer. View captured photos and video clips in an intuitive timeline view. Play animated slide shows with music and different moods. Tag your photos to find them faster. The built-in sensor in the camera ensures that all photos are rotated correctly.
PictBridge™ – Camera printing
Print photos from the phone using the USB cable directly to a printer, without a computer or photo editing software.
TV out support
TV out can be used to show and share your photos on TV. Photos will be shown in VGA size. The TV-Out Cable ITC-60 (sold separately) is necessary to connect your phone to the TV.
Push email
The phone supports push email, a method of pushing new email messages automatically to mobile devices. Push email increases mobile email usability by delivering email in the background (similar to SMS or MMS), eliminating the need for the user to manually check for new email.

Bluetooth™ wireless technology
Several devices (simultaneous Bluetooth™ wireless technology connections) can be connected up to 10 metres (33 feet) away using Bluetooth wireless technology. For example, when the phone rings, it can be answered with a Bluetooth headset, and images can be sent to another phone at the same time. Several

mobile phones can take part in a Bluetooth wireless technology-supported game and the phone and a computer can exchange data such as images, video clips, vCards, music files and calendar data. Blue­tooth wireless technology version 2.0 and Enhanced Data Rate (EDR) is supported.
Bluetooth™ audio streaming
Listen to audio in compatible devices. By connecting a Bluetooth Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) compatible accessory, such as a stereo Bluetooth headset or a Bluetooth music receiver, you can enjoy high quality stereo audio streaming wirelessly from the phone. Many A2DP accessories also support the Bluetooth Audio Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP) allowing you to control the player in the phone using the accessory interface.
USB 2.0 mass storage
When connecting the phone to a computer using the provided USB cable, the memory in the phone appears on the computer screen as a removable disk along with other disks and drives in the computer. You can then quickly and easily drag and drop items such as images, documents, music and video clips between folders in the phone and the computer.
Media Transfer Protocol (MTP)
With Media Transfer Protocol you can transfer media files and synchronise playlists when the phone is connected to the computer using the USB cable.
