Images will take on a new dimension to view the world in a whole new way.
Intelligent Sweep Panorama™ HR mode
With Intelligent Sweep Panorama™ HR mode just press the shutter, pan the landscape and let
the camera do the rest. It automatically links together each frame to produce a high resolution
panoramic image providing the ability to print very large panoramic images as well as to zoom
in on small details in the distance and crop them in for a larger view of the object. The high
resolution image is a 42.9MP file which is compressed into a jpg. When opening the file in Picture
Motion Browser ver. 5.6, it decompresses to the 42.9MP file.
Background Defocus
DSLR photographs are often beautiful because they blur the background, putting the emphasis
on your subject. Now our point-and-shoot cameras can deliver this signature DSLR benefit. The
system takes two shots, identifies the background and applies a defocused background keeping
the subject crisp and clear.
Superior Auto mode
Get cleaner, more dynamic pictures and fewer missed shots. The camera automatically
recognizes the correct scene mode, then quickly shoots and combines up to six shots to produce
images with greater clarity, optimum dynamic range using backlight correction HDR technology
and lower image noise using 6 shots layering technology. Superior Auto intelligently detects 36
scenes for still images and movies, making it easy to get the best shot.
Picture Effect for more expressive photos
Picture Effect adds a new level of expression to photos, making ordinary landscapes and
portraits come to life by heightening mood and emphasizing certain attributes. Seven effects
give free reign to your imagination to expand creative horizons. HDR Painting creates a rich
painted look. Rich-tone Monochrome produces an artistic black and white image. Miniature
transforms mundane landscapes into fascinating works of art. Toy camera transitions an ordinary
photo into one with high contrast, tunnel view, and four color shifts. Partial color results in a
stunning monochrome photo containing a single designated color. High-key creates photos with
heightened brightness for a soft clean look.
Clear image digital zoom
Clear image digital zoom maintains a high-resolution feel that is as precise as optical zoom and
vastly expands the zoom range without lowering visible quality or pixel count in the final image.
With By Pixel Super Resolution processing, the camera’s 5x optical zoom range is extended,
allowing full resolution 16.2MP images with a maximum 10x zoom.
High speed shooting
The DSC-TX55 can capture full 16.2 megapixel resolution images at up to 10 frames per second,
helping to ensure that the decisive moment is captured such as the soccer ball flying into the
goal. In addition, the DSC-TX55 employs a mechanical shutter that helps reduce distortion when
continuously shooting moving subjects.
Soft Skin mode
Portrait subjects will love the results. Soft Skin mode recognizes skin tones and reduces the
appearance of blemishes and wrinkles without affecting the rest of the shot.
