using the function of the Cyber-shot camera and adjusts the composition
automatically.
Capture natural photos of everyone using“Automatic shooting”
function
The automatic shooting function captures everyone since no one has to be the
photographer. Because people are less aware of the camera, Party-shot makes it easier
to shoot more natural, smiling faces.
