Features:

10.1 Megapixel Super HAD™ CCD Image Sensor

A powerful 10.1 megapixel 1/2.3” Super HAD™ CCD image sensor helps you capture gorgeous images with superb contrast and clarity down to the finest detail. With 10.1 megapixels, you can create stunning, photo-quality prints up to A3 size, or crop your images and still come away with high resolution shots.

BIONZ™ imaging processor

The BIONZ™ Imaging Processor delivers the high resolution and fast performance you expect from a Sony® digital camera.

Face Detection technology

Face Detection technology detects up to eight individual faces and controls flash, focus, exposure, and white balance to deliver accurate, natural skin tones with reduced red-eye for beautiful images of family and friends. Face Detection can even distinguish between children and adults, so you can prioritize the camera’s focus on children in the scene for clear images of their memorable moments.

Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilization

Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilization uses a built-in gyro sensor to detect camera shake and automatically shifts the lens to help prevent blur without sacrificing image quality.

Dynamic Range Optimizer Standard and Plus

Dynamic Range Optimizer (DRO) Standard and Plus uses a sophisticated algorithm to determine the best exposure and contrast settings for almost any shooting environment. The result is more natural images with clearer details that more closely match what your naked eye sees. DRO is particularly effective when shooting backlit portraits or any scene with a dramatic contrast between background and foreground lighting. DRO Plus allows for even greater optimization by analyzing each region of an image and performing additional image processing.

Capture and share:

Do more with your pictures than just store them on your Memory Stick™. Capture the moment and share the excitement of the experience right from the camera – without having to connect to the internet from a PC. You can even send e-mail notifications¹³ to friends and family with links they can follow to view your uploaded images1.

HDTV Compatibility⁶

View your photos in glorious high definition on a Sony® BRAVIA® or similar HDTV using the included HD output adapter cable (VMC-MHC1) or optional Cyber-shot Station® cradle (CSS-HD2). It's the perfect way to share your photos with friends and family.

PHOTOMUSIC feature³

PHOTOMUSIC³ combines images with music to produce fun and entertaining slide shows. The five standard visual effects (Simple, Basic, Nostalgic, Active and Stylish) are supplemented with three face priority effects: Face1 (Basic), Face2 (Nostalgic) and Face3 (Stylish). Select from eight pre-loaded tracks on camera or transfer your own from your PC (sold separately).

Multi-Resizing function

The Multi-Resizing function lets you change the aspect ratio of an image right in the camera, so you can adjust images as necessary, whether you want to display them on a compatible HDTV, email them or upload them to a blog.

Picture Motion Browser (PMB) ver. 3.2

Sony® Picture Motion Browser (PMB) software provides a simple, easy-to-use way to transfer video and still images to your PC, as well as sort, edit, and output to data disc and the Web. Additionally, the Easy Exporter function makes it easy to take your images with you by exporting smaller copies of your imported images back to your camera.
