Super HAD™(Hole Accumulated
Diode) CCD design allows more
light to pass to each pixel,
increasing sensitivity and reducing
noise.
Carl Zeiss ® 5X Optical Zoom Lens
5X optical zoom gives you the
power to get even closer to the
action -- a real benefit for distant
landscape views and dramatic
portraits.
Wide Angle Lens
Wide angle (30mm - 150mm ) lens
captures more of the scene.

Face Detection
Face Detection technology
automatically controls flash, focus,
exposure, and white balance to
help reveal faces in shadows,
make skin tones look more natural,
reduce red - eye, and eliminates
harsh facial glare.
Smile Shutter Mode
Smile Shutter technology
captures smiles the moment they
happen . The mode can be set to
capture when your subject laughs,
smiles or even grins, and like Face
Detection Smile Shutter is able to
differentiate between children and
adults to set priority.

Sony Double Anti - Blur Solution
The combination of Super
SteadyShot ® optical image
stabilization and high ISO
sensitivity helps compensate for
shaky hands, minimizes blur, and
allow flash - free shooting to
preserve the mood.
Super SteadyShot ® Optical
Image Stabilization
Super SteadyShot ® Image
Stabilization compensates for
shaky hands and minimizes blur
with a built - in gyro sensor that
detects movement and sends
correcting signals to a stabilization
lens -- so there ’ s no need to crop in
on your shot to reduce blur.
High Sensitivity (ISO 3200) Mode
With high sensitivity of ISO 3200,
you can shoot effectively in low
light without flash to preserve the
mood, while the Sony Clear RAW™
Noise Reduction system helps
suppress the color noise that can
degrade low - light shots.
Intelligent Scene Recognition
Mode
Intelligent Scene Recognition
mode automatically detects 5
different types of scenes and
selects the appropriate camera
setting: Backlight, Backlight
Portrait, Twilight, Twilight Portrait,
Twilight using a Tripod. Intelligent
Scene Recognition has two
different modes, advanced and
auto. In Advanced mode, if the
camera detects the particular
scene, it will take one more
picture. In Auto mode takes a
single shot, arbitrarily deciding on
the proper setting.
Dynamic Range Optimization
Standard & Plus
Powered by the exclusive Sony
BIONZ high - speed processing
engine, Dynamic Range
Optimization preserves image
data in bright highlights and
reveals more detail in shadows or
backlit areas -- for great results
even in difficult lighting conditions.
New DRO Plus mode enhances
optimization, analyzing each
region of an image and performing
additional image processing.
