you in a pocket, purse, or backpack.
|

Sweep Panorama Mode
Reach beyond the traditional wide angle lens, and capture more breathtaking
shots with Sweep Panorama Mode. Simply press the shutter button and sweep the
camera in the desired direction and the camera continuously shoots at a high
speed, then seamlessly stitches the images together with automatic position
adjustment to create one stunning panoramic image. Available in wide and
ultra-wide options, the camera can take panoramic shots of up to 260 degrees.
Now capturing wide landscapes is as easy as press and sweep.

720p MP4 HD Movie Mode5
In 720p MP4 movie mode the camera shoots 1280 x 720 high definition movies at 30
fps, which is the format when working with a PC5.

small enough to transfer to compatible PC or Mac. Once transferred to a computer
you can effortlessly upload your media to popular photo and video-sharing
websites such as Photobucket and YouTube. (Compatible computer with internet
capability required)

|
Optical SteadyShot image stabilization
Optical SteadyShot image stabilization uses a built-in gyro sensor to detect
camera shake and automatically shifts the lens to help prevent blur without
sacrificing image quality.
|
Active Mode
Stabilize hand held HD movies with active mode. For recording on the go this
feature was designed to minimize motion capturing the video without all of the
movement.
|
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.
|

|
Intelligent Auto Mode
Unlike traditional auto mode, Intelligent Auto (iAuto) mode does the thinking,
recognizing scenes, lighting conditions, faces, and adjusts settings resulting
clear images, faces with natural skin tone and less blur. Take advantage of all
the technology without leaving Auto mode. Kids on the playground, landscape
shots, a beautiful flower or an indoor birthday party; all result in clear
images without leaving auto mode.
|
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.
|
In camera guide
Take all the guesswork out of photography with the in camera guide. It’s
convenient step-by-step instructions lead to a perfect 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.
|
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.
|
|
TransferJet technology
TransferJet technology, developed by Sony and advanced and promoted by
consortium of 18 other companies, allows 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 pairing6.
|

|
High Sensitivity Mode (ISO 3200)
High ISO allows for faster shutter speed, so you can take photos indoors or in
low light without the need for a flash. In addition to High Sensitivity Mode
(ISO), you can select up to seven ISO settings (Auto, 125, 200, 400, 800, 1600,
3200) when shooting in Program Auto Mode to adjust sensitivity to the shooting
conditions.
|
Easy Shooting Mode
With Easy Shooting Mode, even beginners can take great photos. In Easy Shooting
Mode, easy-to-understand basic instructions are displayed on the LCD screen and
the camera switches to all automatic settings, removing several function choices
and allowing you to focus on just your subject. Since this mode works together
with Intelligent Scene Recognition, the camera selects the optimum setting for
each scene. In addition the easy mode simplifies preview mode.
|
In-Camera Retouching Tools
Retouch and enhance your photos on the go with in-camera Trimming, Red-Eye
Correction, and Unsharp Masking functions.
|
Self-Portrait Timer
Self-Portrait Timer helps take the guesswork out of self portraits by utilizing
Face Detection technology to recognize when your face enters the frame. Once the
camera detects your face, it triggers a 2-second timer, and then snaps a
picture.
|
PHOTOMUSIC4
PHOTOMUSIC4 combines images with music (4 tracks, 5
minutes per track) to produce fun and entertaining slide shows with standard
visual effects (Simple, Nostalgic, Active, and Stylish). Select from pre-loaded
tracks on the camera or transfer your own from your compatible computer (sold
