10.1 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® 5X Optical Zoom Lens

5X optical zoom gives you the power 
to get even closer to the action -- a real 
benefit for distant landscape views and 
dramatic portraits.

Wide Angle Lens

Wide angle (28 mm-140mm ) lens 
captures more of the scene

2.7” Clear Photo LCD Display 

A large, bright 2.7” Clear Photo LCD 
(230K) display includes an anti-
reflective coating that 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 focus, exposure, 
white balance, and flash to help reveal 
faces in shadows, make skin tones look 
more natural, reduce red-eye, and 
eliminate harsh facial glare, so your 
photos bring out every expression on 
every face in every shot.

Smile Shutter Mode

Smile Shutter

technology captures 

smiles the moment they happen6 - 
without the need to press the shutter. 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 
sensor that detects 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, 
Twilight using a Tripod. Intelligent Scene 
Recognition has two different modes, 
advanced and auto. In Advanced 
mode, if the camera detects the 
particular scene, it will take one more 
picture. In Auto mode takes a single 
shot, arbitrarily deciding on the proper 
setting.

Dynamic Range Optimization

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.

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, Fireworks, Smile Shutter, 
Underwater, Landscape, Soft Snap, 
Snow, High Sensitivity, and Beach 
environments.

MPEG Movie VX Fine Mode

Capture VGA (640 x 480) audio/video 
clips at a high frame rate (up to 30 
frames per second ). The maximum 
length of time you can shoot 
continuously is about 10 minutes.

Automatic Macro Shooting

Standard Auto Focus now covers the 
macro focus range, eliminating the 
need to manually change focus modes 
for close-up photography. The Macro 
mode has not been eliminated, and 
enabling it accelerates Auto Focus 
when shooting at point-blank range.

9-Point Auto Focus

Because an off-center subject can make 
your shot more interesting, a 9-point 
auto focus measures auto-focus at 9 
precision points instead of 5 -- giving 
you greater creative freedom to 
compose your image.

Smart Zoom® Feature

The Sony Smart Zoom® feature

intelligently “crops into” the central 

portion of interest in your photo, 
helping avoid the image degradation 
of other digital zooms.
