9.1 MP Super HAD™ CCD
More megapixels give you more detail
and definition when you make big
prints or crop in tight on your subject.
The advanced Sony® Super HAD™
(Hole Accumulated Diode) CCD
design allows more light to pass to
each pixel, increasing sensitivity and
reducing noise.
Carl Zeiss® 15X Optical Zoom Lens
15X optical zoom provides a superb
ability to bring long-distance subjects
up close — a significant advantage for
situations where you can’t be near the
action, such as sporting events or
wildlife photography.
3.0” Tilt-up Clear Photo LCD Plus™
Display
The large, bright tiltable 3.0” Clear
Photo LCD Plus™ display (230K pixels)
tilts up for comfortable low-angle
shooting, and an anti-reflective coating
provides for excellent visibility to help
you compose, view, and share photos
with superb clarity and color
reproduction, even in bright sunlight.

Face Detection
Face Detection technology
automatically controls flash, focus,
exposure, and white balance to help
reveal faces in shadows, make skin
tones look more natural, reduce red-
eye, and eliminates harsh facial glare.
Smile Shutter Technology
Smile Shutter™ technology captures
smiles the moment they happen. The
mode can be set to capture when your
subject laughs, smiles or even grins,
and like Face Detection is able to
differentiate children and adults to set
priority.

Sony Double Anti-Blur Solution
The combination of Super SteadyShot®
optical image stabilization and high
ISO sensitivity helps compensate for
shaky hands, minimizes blur, and allow
flash-free shooting to preserve the
mood.
Super SteadyShot® Optical Image
Stabilization
Super SteadyShot® Image Stabilization
compensates for shaky hands and
minimizes blur with a built-in gyro that
detects camera movement and sends
correcting signals to a stabilization lens
-- so there’s no need to crop in on your
shot to reduce blur.
High Sensitivity (ISO 3200) Mode
With high sensitivity of ISO 3200, you
can shoot effectively in low light
without flash to preserve the mood,
while the Sony Clear RAW™ Noise
Reduction system helps suppress the
color noise that can degrade low-light
shots.
Intelligent Scene Recognition Mode
Intelligent Scene Recognition mode
automatically detects 5 different types
of scenes and selects the appropriate
camera setting: Backlight, Backlight
Portrait, Twilight, Twilight Portrait, and
Twilight using a Tripod. Intelligent Scene
Recognition has two different modes,
advanced and auto. Advanced mode
takes one with the standard automatic
settings and the other with optimized
settings. Auto mode takes a single shot,
utilizing the camera's optimal settings.
Dynamic Range Optimization Standard
& Plus
Powered by the exclusive Sony BIONZ™
high-speed processing engine,
Dynamic Range Optimization preserves
image data in bright highlights and
reveals more detail in shadows or
backlit areas -- for great results even in
difficult lighting conditions. New DRO
Plus mode enhances optimization,
analyzing each region of an image
and performing additional image
processing.
NightShot® Infrared System
Sony’s NightShot® Infrared System lets
you shoot photos in near-dark or totally
dark (0 lux) conditions without using a
flash, so you can capture creative night
scenes that lie beyond the power of
conventional cameras.
Variable Noise Reduction (NR Level
Setting)
To allow greater control over NR, three
NR Level Settings are available -- High,
Low and Standard — allowing you to
select the optimal setting depending on
the scene and individual tastes. For
example, applying high NR helps
obtain smoothly textured images for
portraits or dark scenes, while the low
setting is helps reduce noise without
sacrificing resolution, making it
especially useful for landscapes,
detailed subjects, and contoured
surfaces.
Advanced Sports Shooting mode
Advance Sports Shooting mode is
ideal for shooting fast-moving subjects.
Just choose Advanced Sports Shooting
mode with the mode dial. The camera
will then automatically use Auto Focus
to analyze subject motion and predict
the next move while the shutter button is
halfway pressed. A high shutter speed
(up to 1/4000 sec.) helps ensure you
capture the moment clearly even if the
subject is moving at high speed.
Bracket Shooting Mode
In addition to standard exposure
bracketing (±0.3EV/±0.7EV/±1.0EV),
Bracket Shooting mode now includes
settings for white balance and color
modes. This function records three
images with one shot, each with a
different white balance or color mode
applied, making it easy to capture the
ambience and feeling of the original
scene.
Convenient Photo Modes
To adjust quickly for specific shooting
situations, you can choose from several
convenient photo modes, including
Auto, Program Auto, and Scene
Selections such as Twilight, Twilight
Portrait, Landscape, Portrait, Snow,
High Sensitivity, Smile Shutter, Advance
Sports Shooting, Fireworks, and Beach
environments.
