Optical Image Stabilisation – dual image stabilising technology works to counteract blurred images due to shaky hands, subject movement, or when shooting in low-light conditions or at full zoom.
Anti-motion Blur - uses six superimposed frames to create one single optimised image with 50% less noise. This means you are able to shoot with high ISO settings in low-light environments, reducing noise and subject blur, giving you clear and sharp images.
25mm Wide Angle 4x Optical Zoom Lens – cover a wide range of shooting situations from wide-angle to capture more in your image - such as group photos, landscapes, or tight interior shots - to telephoto where you can zoom up close to distant objects.
3.5” Xtra Fine LCD™ touch screen - A large 3.5” Xtra Fine LCD™ touch screen display w/TruBlack™ technology (921K pixels), the largest of Sony’s Cyber-shot DSC line makes it easy for viewing and sharing images with simple and fun touch screen operation. It offers intuitive functions such as the ability to select the focus point with a simple touch, scroll through images by sliding your finger across the screen and one-touch access to the MENU.
10 fps high-speed continuous shooting - Capture fast action or a moving subject in a sequence of 10 continuous frames per second at 10.2 Mega Pixels.
Face Detection – focuses and sets correct exposure and white balance for faces (up to 8) rather than other picture elements that might be in the foreground or background. It can also distinguish between adults and children.
Back-illuminated "Exmor R" CMOS Sensor - Experience stunning low-light sensitivity with improved image clarity and drastically reduced grain.
Handheld Twilight – in this mode your images boast 50% less noise because the high sensitivity “Exmor R” CMOS sensor coupled with BIONZ imaging processor allows the camera to superimpose six visual frames to create a single optimised image. Even when taking a picture at a high ISO setting or without using a tripod, you still enjoy cleaner, sharper images.
Sweep Panorama - Just press the shutter and sweep the camera: automatically combines a burst of images to create extra-wide panoramic pictures
Intelligent Auto - Automatically adjusts exposure and other settings for optimum results in a wide range of shooting situations. No need to fiddle around in menus or manually select scene modes.
Intelligent Scene Recognition - automatically detects nine different types of scene conditions and within 1/30th of a second selects the appropriate camera settings – saves fiddling with menus.
Red-eye Correction – By using the retouch function, red eyes can be fixed in-camera with the push of a button – great if you are printing directly from the camera or memory card.
Anti-Blink - When the camera is set to Soft Snap, the Anti-blink function captures two images, recording only the photo with less squinting. If a blink is detected in other shooting modes, a warning will be displayed after you take the shot.
Smile Shutter – when in this mode camera automatically takes a photo when it detects a subject’s smile in the frame.
Motion Detection - Motion Detection, along with Face Motion Detection adjusts ISO sensitivity and increases the shutter speed when movement is detected, reducing blur in moving subjects and faces.
Function Guide – help beginners navigate the camera’s functions and settings by displaying descriptions of chosen functions on the LCD screen.
Dynamic Range Optimiser (DRO) – automatically optimises exposure for high –contrast scenes such as backlit portraits to prevent under exposure.
HD output - View video and still images on HD TV (requires optional VMC-MHC3 cable). PhotoTV HD enhances still image viewing on compatible BRAVIA
PMB Portable - Built-in transfer software allows quick, easy uploads to image sharing sites when camera is connected to any web-enabled PC.
Dual Memory Stick/SDHC Memory Cards –supports both Memory Stick and readily-available high capacity SDHC memory cards for flexibility of storage options.
