The Sony CX240E is perfect for capturing celebrations and special occasions with friends and family. Its compact, lightweight design and point-and-shoot simplicity is also ideal for overseas holidays and weekend family trips.

A 3.1mm Exmor R CMOS sensor is combined with a powerful BIONZ X image processor to deliver sharp Full HD video with low-noise results when shooting in low-light conditions. A maximum frame rate of 60fps and bright 9.2 megapixel stills are also available to ensure you are equipped to handle a broad range of photo and video scenarios including weddings and family gatherings.

The quality sensor has been coupled with a versatile wide-angle Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens which features a 27x optical zoom and a bright maximum f/1.9 aperture. A 54x Clear Image digital zoom doubles the effective focal range and can be utilised for extra magnification of far-away subjects. Built-in Electronic SteadyShot image stabilisation works in conjunction with the sensor and lens to minimise camera shake for incredibly smooth results.

A built-in zoom microphone captures audio in high-quality Dolby Digital 2 channel stereo and altersits directionality based on your focal range to ensure the audio in your recording matches the captured footage.

Composition is straightforward with a 2.7-inch 230k-dot LCD screen. Its swivel design allows for easy composition from high and low shooting angles to encourage you to explore new and creative perspectives.
