Sony DSC-TX10 Feature Highlights |

|
Rugged and Stylish
This camera is just as much at home in the water as on a night on the town! The
sleek and stylish TX10 fits the slimmest pocket or purse, yet is waterproof to a
depth of 16 ft10, shockproof from falls up to
approximately 5 ft9 and dustproof12
thanks to its airtight construction. As well, this durable camera can even
withstand extreme weather conditions, as it is operable in temperatures from 14-
to 104-degrees Fahrenheit11. Seamlessly shifting from
underwater marvels to a night on the town, the TX10 always makes it easy to get
the best shot!

16.2 Megapixel Back-illuminated “Exmor R” CMOS
Image Sensor
The DSC-TX10 features a 16.2 megapixel “Exmor R” CMOS image sensor that brings
out the full resolving power of the camera’s Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens to
deliver extremely fast speed, high resolution, and stunning low-light
sensitivity with improved image clarity and drastically reduced grain. In
addition, the combined “Exmor R” CMOS sensor and BIONZ image processor delivers
extremely fast 10fps, Anti Motion Blur, Hand-held Twilight and 1080i movie modes7.
|
|
Full HD 1080@60i
Record crystal clear movies at the highest resolution available with
capabilities for 60i in 1080 Full HD3. This provides
stunning, fast motion video with less distortion for playback on your HD TV.
|
3D still image
Produce awe-inspiring images with 3D still image and 3D Sweep Panorama
capabilities. Images will take on a new dimension to view the world in a whole
new way5.
|

|
iSweep Panorama
With iSweep Panorama just press the shutter, pan the landscape and let the
camera do the rest. It automatically links together each frame to produce a
panoramic image. This model even detects faces and moving subjects to stitch
intelligently different widths to help avoid subject distortion. |
Background Defocus
DSLR photographs are often beautiful because they blur the background, putting
the emphasis on the 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.
|
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.
|
Natural Flash
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.
|
High speed shooting
The DSC-TX10 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-TX10 employs a
mechanical shutter that helps reduce distortion when continuously shooting
moving subjects.
|
|
Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar Lens with 25mm
equivalent wide 4x Optical Zoom
The high-performance Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar 4x 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 up to just under ½-inch from the
subject. A wide angle of 25mm equivalent wide-angle lens allows you to take
wider shots of the scene or group in crowded spaces.

|
HDMI output
The High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is a compact audio/video
connector interface for transmitting uncompressed digital streams. HDMI connects
digital audio/video sources such as a compatible camcorder, Blu-ray Disc player,
a personal computer, a video game console, or an AV receiver to a compatible
digital audio device and/or video monitor such as a digital television (DTV).
Easily connect your Cyber-shot camera via HDMI cable to any compatible HDMI
compatible device to easily enjoy and upload content7.

|
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.
|
Anti-Motion Blur Mode
Capture cleaner and sharper images in low light for non landscape shots. When
set in Anti-motion Blur Mode, the DSC-TX10 captures six images in a fraction of
a second with higher shutter speed and combines the data from all six to create
a single image of extraordinary detail and dramatically reduce subject blur,
beyond the capability of traditional cameras.
|
Backlight Correction HDR
Shooting high-contrast scenes can often lead to washed out backgrounds and/or
details lost in shadow. Backlight Correction HDR helps correct for this by
taking three pictures at different exposure settings and processing the best
elements of all three into a single image for more natural looking shots.
|
|
TransferJet technology
TransferJet technology, developed by Sony and advanced and promoted by
consortium of 18 other companies, allows the transfer of up to ten files between
two TransferJet enabled devices just by touching their TransferJet logos
together, without the hassle of hunting for cables or the complication of
pairing8.

Picture Motion Browser software1 for PC and iMovie (sold separately) for Mac
systems.
