The Sony HX400 combines the simplicity of a point and shoot with the ergonomics and picture quality of DSLR. Its versatility is complemented by a 50x telephoto-zoom which provides amazing shooting flexibility that is well suited to travel and general photographic scenarios.

20.4 Megapixel Image Sensor

A large 20.4 megapixel Exmor R CMOS Sensor delivers bright, detail rich images and crystal clear Full High Definition video. The sensor is combined with a powerful BIONZ X Image Processor to deliver ultra-fast 10 fps continuous burst mode performance, ideal for sports and action photography. The processor also ensures low noise results when shooting in poor lighting conditions, offering uncompromised quality across a broad range of situations.

50x Optical Telephoto Zoom Lens

Its compact yet powerful 50x optical zoom lens is ideal for a broad range of photographic subjects. A reach of 24mm-1200mm in 35mm equivalent terms combined with a maximum aperture of f/2.8-f/6.3 equips you with the perfect tool to shoot everything from sweeping landscapes, selfies and group shots to exciting close-ups at concerts, school presentations and exciting on-field action of your favourite sports team.

Macro Shooting Capability

Macro shooting is also possible with the lens being able to focus on object from as close as 1cm. A 100x Clear Image mode which digitally increases the zoom magnification can be utilised for extremely distant subjects.

Optical SteadyShot and Active Mode Image Stabilisation

Built-in Optical SteadyShot image stabilisation helps deliver sharper images when utilising the full potential of the telephoto zoom by compensating for camera shake. It also produces better results in low-light shooting by allowing you to use a slower shutter speed without negatively affecting image quality. Sony’s Intelligent Active Mode electronic stabilisation is combined with the optical image stabiliser to deliver smoother, sharper results when shooting video.

Tilting Design 3-inch LCD Screen

A large 3-inch 921k-dot LCD Monitor can be used in a broad range of lighting situations. Its display features five levels of brightness adjustment and delivers an approximate 100% field of view for pixel perfect compositions and framing. Its tilting design can be utilised for more accurate compositions when shooting from high or low angles.

Electronic Viewfinder

An Electronic viewfinder can be utilised for a more DSLR style shooting experience. It provides better stability when shooting in difficult conditions and works well in extremely bright shooting environments. The EVF features 8x and 16x image magnification for critical focusing applications, ensuring your images and video clips are always razor sharp.

WiFi, NFC and GPS Built-in

Built-in WiFi and NFC connectivity in conjunction with Sony’s free PlayMemories Camera App allows your compatible smartphone or tablet to quickly connect to the camera for instant photo sharing with your friends, family and favourite social networks. Built-in GPS integration allows you to tag images with the geo location of where a photo was taken. This data can be imported into the PlayMemories Home software and combined with Google Earth to create an impressive visual itinerary of your holiday.
