Conventional point-and-shoot camera flash shots just don't capture colors the way the eye sees
them. Natural Flash mode takes a reference shot without flash and then uses that reference to
correct the color, for far more lifelike images.

Lens with 25mm equivalent wide angle 5x Optical Zoom
The high-performance Carl Zeiss
®
Vario-Tessar
®
5x optical zoom lens brings distant subjects closer
for video recording as well as for outdoor, sports, and travel photos, and Close Focus shoots
close-ups within a ½” of the subject. A 25mm equivalent wide-angle lens allows you to take
wider shots of the scene or group in crowded spaces.
Backlight HDR
Don’t miss a single detail in high contrast shots. The built in backlight correction analyzes the
image and automatically adjusts accordingly to give you a perfectly lit shot.

Smile Shutter™ technology
Smile Shutter™ technology captures a smile the moment it happens. Simply press the Smile
Shutter™ button and the camera does the rest. Also select adult and child priority and indicate
the degree of Smile Detection sensitivity. Intelligent Scene Recognition can be used together with
Smile Shutter™ mode. This means that beautiful smiles can be captured with settings optimized
for the particular scene, even in difficult conditions such as twilight and backlighting.
Face Detection technology
Sony’s Face Detection technology can automatically distinguish between children and adults.
Face Detection technology detects up to eight individual faces and adjusts flash, focus,
exposure, and white balance to help deliver crisp, properly lit images of family and friends.
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.
Anti-blink Function
It’s frustrating to capture the perfect shot, only to review it later and discover subjects blinked
during the photo. When the camera is set to Soft Snap, the Anti-blink function captures two
images, recording only the photo with less squinting or blinking. If a blink is detected in other
shooting modes, a warning will be displayed after you take the shot.
Sweep Multi Angle™ mode
In Sweep Multi Angle™ mode, the camera takes 15 images at different angles as it sweeps across
the scene. By tilting the camera during playback, the camera’s Gyro Sensor detects motion and
displays the image in a 3D-like view on the camera’s LCD.
