Feature-packed
and Compact
It’s amazing how something so compact can offer you so
much. Packed with a whole host of impressive imaging features,
the Cyber-shot W-series is ready to capture your imagination.
By capturing two images with high
shutter speed under low light conditions,
Sony’s Digital SteadyShot superimposes
the images to reduce the appearance of camera
shake. Achieve brighter and sharper images at the
single press of a button.
Without
Expanding the ISO sensitivity up to ISO 3200,
the High Sensitivity mode lets you snap the
perfect mood and moment with remarkable
details whether it’s a moving object or under low-lighting
conditions. Enjoy clean, high-resolution images that are
blur-free even when shooting indoors or at twilight.
Sony’s Face Detection automatically
determines the focus, exposure, white
balance and even flash control on
multiple faces in a single shot. It is lightning-fast and
accurate, so that even individual red eye reduction and
auto focus are optimised for pictures everyone will love.
Sony’s Smile Shutter feature is designed to
catch the most dazzling smiles from your
subjects. This innovative feature captures all
your happy moments by automatically taking pictures
only when the person is smiling. You can select the
desired degree of Smile Detection Sensitivity. Press the
Smile Shutter button to easily activate this feature and
never miss a happy moment again.
