DSC-TX1
10.2 MP | 4x OPTICAL ZOOM | 3.0” TOUCH SCREEN LCD1
Take clearer photos with less
grain in low-light conditions
The DSC-TX1 features a 10.2 megapixel, back-
illuminated “Exmor R” CMOS image sensor.
This advanced technology leverages the full
resolving power of the camera’s Carl Zeiss®
Vario-Tessar® lens, plus gives the camera
stunning low-light sensitivity for capturing
extraordinarily clear images with drastically
reduced grain. Working together, the BIONZ®
image processor and “Exmor R” CMOS sensor
also enable the camera’s extremely fast 10fps,
Anti Motion Blur, Hand-held Twilight and 720p
movie modes.9
Review your shots with the touch
of a fi nger
The large 3” Clear Photo LCD Plus™ touch
screen display¹ (230K pixels) allows you to scroll
through images by simply touching the display.
Be sure to catch all those
once-in-a lifetime moments
The DSC-TX1 can capture up to ten full 10.2
megapixel resolution images per second.
So now you can be sure to capture the bat
hitting the game-winning homerun, the lead
runner crossing the fi nish line, and other
decisive moments. The camera also uses a
mechanical shutter to help reduce distortion
when continuously shooting moving subjects.
Capture breathtaking
panoramic shots
Sweep Panorama mode lets you go far beyond
the capabilities of traditional wide-angle lenses
to capture stunningly expansive shots. Simply
press the shutter button and sweep the camera
horizontally or vertically over your desired
scene. The camera shoots continuously at a
high speed, automatically adjusts the position
of each image, then seamlessly stitches up
to 100 pictures together into one panoramic
photo. Available in wide and ultra-wide options,
this feature lets you take panoramic shots up to
an amazing 185 degrees.
Get sharper night shots without
a tripod
The Hand-held Twilight Mode captures six
images in a fraction of a second with one
press of the shutter, combining the data from
all six to create a single image of extraordinary
detail and low noise.
Take clearer photos of moving
subjects
The Anti Motion Blur Mode takes six images in
a fraction of a second using a higher shutter
speed. The camera then combines the data
from all six images to create a single photo of
extraordinary detail with minimal blur.
