12.1 Megapixel Super HAD CCD Image Sensor
A powerful 12.1 megapixel ½.3-inch Super HAD CCD image sensor
helps you capture gorgeous images with superb contrast and
clarity down to the finest detail. With 12.1 megapixels, you can
create stunning, photo-quality prints up to A3+ (13x19-inch)

2.7” Clear Photo LCD display (230k pixels)
Generous 2.7-inch (230K pixels) Clear Photo LCD display features
sharp, natural color that makes it easy to compose s, read
menus, and view photos, even in bright sunlight.
Sony Lens with 4x Optical Zoom and 26mm equivalent wide angle
The Sony 4x optical zoom lens brings distant subjects closer for
great outdoors, sports, and travel photos. Thanks to 26mm
equivalent wide angle of this lens you can also get great group
s in tight spots.
Sweep Panorama mode
Reach beyond the traditional wide angle lens, and capture more
breathtaking s with Sweep Panorama Mode. Simply press the
shutter button and sweep the camera in the desired direction and
the camera continuously shoots at a high speed, then seamlessly
stitches the images together with automatic position adjustment
to create one stunning panoramic image. Available in wide and
ultra-wide options, the camera can take panoramic s of up to
231 degrees. Now capturing wide landscapes is as easy as press
and sweep.
Steady image stabilization
Steady image stabilization compensates for camera shake and
helps prevent blur through use of digital processing
technologies.
Intelligent Auto Mode
Unlike traditional auto mode, Intelligent Auto (iAuto) mode
thinks for you, recognizing scenes, lighting conditions, faces,
and adjusts settings resulting clear images, faces with natural
skin tone and less blur. Take advantage of all the technology
without leaving Auto mode. Kids on the playground, landscape
s, a beautiful flower or an indoor birthday party; all result
in clear images without leaving auto mode.
Face Detection technology
Face Detection technology detects up to eight individual faces
and adjusts focus, exposure, and white balance to help deliver
crisp, properly lit images of family and friends.
Smile Shutter technology
Smile Shutter technology captures a smile the moment it happens.
Simply press the Smile Shutter button and the camera does the
rest. You can also select adult and child priority and indicate
the degree of Smile Detection Sensitivity. Intelligent Scene
Re can now be used together with Smile Shutter mode when
the Intelligent Auto mode is on. This means that beautiful smiles
can be captured with settings optimized for the particular scene,
even in difficult conditions such as twilight and backlighting.
480p AVI VGA Movie Mode9
In 480p AVI movie mode the camera shoots 640 x 480 movies at 30
fps, which is the format when working with a PC. Users will
create movies with full use of optical zoom in files small enough
to transfer to compatible PC or Mac. Once transferred to your
computer you can effortlessly upload your media to popular photo
and video-sharing websites such as Photobucket and YouTube.
(Compatible computer with internet capability required) Natural
Flash
Conventional point-and-shoot camera flash s just don't
capture colors the way the eye sees them. Natural Flash mode
takes a reference without flash and then uses that reference
to correct the color, for far more lifelike images. Self-Portrait
Timer
Self-Portrait Timer helps take the guesswork out of self
portraits by utilizing Face Detection technology to recognize
when your face enters the frame. Once the camera detects your
face, it triggers a 2-second timer, and then snaps a picture.
Anti-blink Function
It’s frustrating to capture the perfect , only to review it
later and discover subjects blinked during the photo. The
Anti-blink function works to help counter blinking and squinting.
When the camera is set to Soft Snap, the Anti-blink function
captures two images, only the photo with less
squinting. If a blink is detected in other shooting modes, a
warning will be displayed after you take the . Dynamic Range
Optimizer Standard and Plus
Dynamic Range Optimizer (DRO) Standard and Plus uses a
sophisticated algorithm to help recover shadows and highlights.
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.
Intelligent Scene Re (iSCN) Mode
Intelligent Scene Re (iSCN) Mode automatically detects
eight different types of scenes and, within just 1/30th of a
second, selects the appropriate camera settings: Backlight,
Backlight Portrait, Twilight, Twilight Portrait, Twilight using a
tripod, Portrait, Landscape and macro. iSCN has two modes: Auto
and Advanced. In Auto Mode, the camera takes a single using
the optimal settings. In Advanced Mode, the camera takes a photo
with the optimal settings and, if in difficult lighting (low
light or back light) immediately takes a second photo with
another optimized setting so you can choose which to keep.
High Sensitivity Mode (ISO 3200)
High ISO allows for faster shutter speed, so you can take photos
indoors or in low light without the need for a flash. In addition
to High Sensitivity Mode (ISO), you can select up to seven ISO
settings (Auto, 125, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200) when shooting in
Program Auto Mode to adjust sensitivity to your shooting
conditions. Easy Shooting Mode
With Easy Shooting Mode, even beginners can take great photos.
In Easy Shooting Mode, easy-to-understand basic instructions are
displayed on the LCD screen and the camera switches to all
automatic settings, removing several function choices and
allowing you to focus on just your subject. Since this mode works
together with Intelligent Scene Re, the camera selects
the optimum setting for each scene. In addition the easy mode
simplifies preview mode. In-Camera Retouching Tools

Trimming, Red-Eye Correction, and Unsharp ing functions.
