Features:
- 16.2 Megapixel Back-illuminated Exmor® R CMOS Image Sensor This camera
features a 16.2 megapixel Exmor® R CMOS image sensor that brings out the full
resolving power of the camera’s Carl Zeiss® 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 up to 10fps,
Anti Motion Blur, Hand-held Twilight and 1080i movie modes.
- Capture the decisive moment - up to 10fps 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, a mechanical shutter helps reduce distortion when continuously
shooting moving subjects.
- Intelligent Sweep Panorama™ HR mode With Intelligent Sweep Panorama™
HR mode just press the shutter, pan the landscape and let the camera do the
rest. It automatically links together each frame to produce a high resolution
panoramic image providing the ability to zoom in on small details. This model
even detects faces and moving subjects to stitch intelligently different widths
to help avoid subject distortion.
- 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 33 scenes for still images and movies, making it easy to get the best
shot.
- Anti-blink function It’s frustrating to capture the perfect shot,
only to review it later and discover subjects blinked during the photo. The
Anti-blink function works to help counter blinking and squinting. When the
camera is set to Soft Snap, the Anti-blink function captures two images, recording
only the photo with less squinting. If a blink is detected in other shooting
modes, a warning will be displayed after you take the shot.
- Natural Flash Conventional point-and-shoot camera flash shots just
don't capture colors the way the eye sees them. Natural Flash controls the
white balance of both the background and main subjects.
- Full HD 1080/60i Record crystal clear movies at the highest resolution
available with capabilities for 60i in 1080 AVCHD™ video.¹ 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.
- 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 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 models have up to nine effects.
- Smile Shutter™ technology Smile Shutter™ technology captures a smile
the moment it happens. Simply select Smile Shutter™ and the camera does the
rest. You can 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 when the Intelligent Auto mode is on. This
means that beautiful smiles can be captured with settings optimized for the
particular scene, even in difficult conditions such as twilight and backlighting.
- Intelligent Scene Recognition Mode Intelligent Scene Recognition
(iSCN) Mode automatically detects 33 different types of scenes and selects
the appropriate camera settings. iSCN has two modes: Auto and Advanced. In
Auto Mode, the camera takes a single shot using the optimal settings. In Advanced
Mode, the camera takes a photo with the optimal settings and, if in difficult
lighting (low light or back light) immediately takes a second photo with another
optimized setting so you can choose which to keep.
- 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.
- 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.
- Optical SteadyShot™ with Active Mode Optical SteadyShot™ with Active
Mode for blur-free movies even while walking.4 Camera-shake compensation using
Optical SteadyShot/Active Mode has been improved with the addition of new
electronic image stabilization.Now it’s easier than ever to obtain sharp,
blur-free movies even when zooming in unsteady situations, such as shooting
with one hand while walking.
- 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.
- Face Detection technology Face Detection technology detects up to
eight individual faces and adjusts focus, exposure, and white balance to help
deliver crisp, properly lit images of family and friends. Soft Skin modePortrait
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.
- 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.
