sensor with delivers bright, vivid, and
spectacularly detailed 2.3 megapixel
(effective) video footage, as well as 4
megapixel still images -- all with
prolonged battery life. Exmor™

response time and screens out noise so
the signal from each pixel is as pure as
possible.
BIONZ™ Image Processor
The advanced Sony BIONZ™ Image
Processor uses hardware-based Large

improves camera response time,
screens out noise before RAW data
conversion, handles Dynamic Range
Optimization processing, and prolongs
battery life.

and still photo images with high
resolution, high sensitivity, and
exceptional detail. Advanced on-sensor
A/D conversion yields rich tonal
reproduction with high signal-to-noise
ratio.
Face Detection for Video Footage and
Digital Still Photos
Made possible by the BIONZ™ image
processing engine, Face Detection
technology recognizes up to 8 faces
anywhere in the frame and
automatically controls focus, exposure,
and color to help capture smiling faces
brightly and clearly. Face Detection
also helps make skin tones look natural
without affecting other colors in the
image.
15X Optical / 180X Digital Zoom
The optical zoom helps to bring the
action close up from far away. In
addition, Digital Zoom Interpolation
means that extreme digital zooming is
clearer, with less distortion than
previous types of digital zoom.

personal home movies the way you
experienced them while recording.
Dynamic Range Optimizer
Powered by the exclusive Sony's
BIONZ™ high-speed processing engine,
D-Range Optimization preserves image
data in bright highlights, such as
suppressing "whiteout" in skies. When
shooting in backlit settings, D-Range
Optimization reveals more detail in
shadows, preventing "blackout." As a
result, the captured image appears as
natural as the original scene.
Easy Handycam Button
Using a camcorder can be intimidating
for some people. With a press of the
Easy Handycam Button, most of the
advanced features of the camcorder
are "locked out," letting you focus only
the buttons essential for recording.
