Sony DSC-WX1 User manual

The Cyber-shot® DSC-WX1 features “Exmor R” CMOS sensor and 24mm
equivalent bright f/2.4 G lens, letting you capture clear, crisp images,
even in lowlight. High speed burst 10 frames per second helps you
capture the precise moment and Sweep Panorama creates wide
256-degree panoramic shots. Additionally, it features 720p movie
recording9, Ultra-quick 0.3-sec. AF, and Intelligent Auto mode.
Take clearer photos with less
grain in low-light conditions
The DSC-WX1 features a 10.2 megapixel, back-
illuminated “Exmor R” CMOS image sensor.
This advanced technology leverages the full
resolving power of the camera’s G lens to
deliver extremely fast speed, high resolution,
and stunning low-light sensitivity with improved
image clarity and drastically reduced grain.
24mm equivalent f/2.4 G Lens
Designed and manufactured to the highest
standards of optical performance, the Sony®
G Lens is optimized to complement the
advanced image sensors and processing
technology found in Sony digital cameras.
Capture more of the scene in landscape or
group portraits with the 24mm equivalent
wide-angle lens. It’s especially useful in small
rooms, where you can’t get far enough back
from your subjects to capture them all.
Be sure to catch all those
once-in-a lifetime moments
The DSC-WX1 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 256 degrees.
