 R CMOS sensor captures ultra-high definition images that take full advantage 

of the camera’s sharp Carl Zeiss

 lens. The sensor enables advanced processing that 

reduces noise levels resulting in stunning low light images with incredible details.

High speed AF

To improve focusing speed and sensitivity, the Exmor

®

 R CMOS sensor uses its rapid throughput 

to deliver high-quality image signals to the camera’s BIONZ

 processor. The result is fast, DSLR-like 

focusing speeds, even in low light.

Optical zoom plus Clear image zoom

Most digital zooms use electronic cropping to get closer to the subject, resulting in unsharp 

images. With Clear Image Zoom the powerful processor compares patterns found in adjacent 

pixels and creates new pixels to match selected patterns, resulting in more realistic, higher-quality 

images. Clear Image Zoom doubles optical zoom for closer photos.

Full HD 1080/60p

Record crystal clear movies at the highest resolution available with capabilities for 60p in 1080.3 

This provides stunning, fast motion video with less distortion for playback on your HD TV.2  With 

dual record of stills and movies, you can shoot both at the same time.

Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilization with 3-way Active Mode

Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilization reduces shake and blur by countering camera 

movements in both horizontal and vertical directions.  Active 3-Way stabilization adds digital 

rolling control that counters clockwise and anti-clockwise rotation, resulting in more stable videos 

even at long focal lengths.

GPS and Compass

GPS and compass record location data and camera direction as you shoot movies and photos. 

GPS Log lets users track a photographic journey and later view the path and images on a map. 

Map View in “PlayMemories Home” software, allows users to view images on a map showing 

where they were taken. The logged path and images can also be displayed on Google Earth.

Capture the decisive moment with up to 10fps

Capture full 18.2 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, a 

mechanical shutter helps reduce distortion when continuously shooting moving subjects.

3D still image and 3D Sweep Panorama™ mode

Produce awe-inspiring images with 3D still image and 3D Sweep Panorama™ capabilities.3  

Photos will take on a new dimension of creative capabilities for viewing the world in a whole new 

way.

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.  Select camera models 

have up to nine different effects. 

Photo Creativity

Photo Creativity allows you to fine-tune your exposure settings, such as brightness, color, and 

vividness, and quickly choose the right enhancement for your subject. Now you can view Picture 

Effects and Photo Creativity effects in real time on the camera’s monitor or in the viewfinder 

before shooting. 

Background Defocus

Frame your shots like a pro with the DSC-HX200V. Its 18MP sensor and 

30X optical/60X Clear Image zoom capture breathtaking photos at up 

to 10fps, plus ultra-stabilized Full HD 1080/60p videos. High Speed Focus 

improves AF speed and accuracy, while a GPS and compass record 

location and shot direction so you can share your trips online.
