18.2 Megapixel Back-illuminated Exmor
®
R CMOS Image Sensor
The 18.2MP Exmor
®
R CMOS sensor captures ultra-high definition images that take full advantage
of the camera’s sharp Carl Zeiss
®
Vario-Tessar
®
lens. The sensor enables advanced processing that
reduces noise levels resulting in stunning low light images with incredible details.
High speed AF
To improve focusing speed and sensitivity, the Exmor
®
R CMOS sensor uses its rapid throughput
to deliver high-quality image signals to the camera’s BIONZ
®
processor. The result is fast, DSLR-like
focusing speeds, even in low light.
Optical zoom plus Clear image zoom
Most digital zooms use electronic cropping to get closer to the subject, resulting in unsharp
images. With Clear Image Zoom the powerful processor compares patterns found in adjacent
pixels and creates new pixels to match selected patterns, resulting in more realistic, higher-quality
images. Clear Image Zoom doubles optical zoom for closer photos.
Full HD 1080/60p
Record crystal clear movies at the highest resolution available with capabilities for 60p in 1080.3
This provides stunning, fast motion video with less distortion for playback on your HD TV.2 With
dual record of stills and movies, you can shoot both at the same time.
Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilization with 3-way Active Mode
Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilization reduces shake and blur by countering camera
movements in both horizontal and vertical directions. Active 3-Way stabilization adds digital
rolling control that counters clockwise and anti-clockwise rotation, resulting in more stable videos
even at long focal lengths.
GPS and Compass
GPS and compass record location data and camera direction as you shoot movies and photos.
GPS Log lets users track a photographic journey and later view the path and images on a map.
Map View in “PlayMemories Home” software, allows users to view images on a map showing
where they were taken. The logged path and images can also be displayed on Google Earth.
Capture the decisive moment with up to 10fps
Capture full 18.2 megapixel resolution images at up to 10 frames per second, helping to ensure
that the decisive moment is captured such as the soccer ball flying into the goal. In addition, a
mechanical shutter helps reduce distortion when continuously shooting moving subjects.
3D still image and 3D Sweep Panorama™ mode
Produce awe-inspiring images with 3D still image and 3D Sweep Panorama™ capabilities.3
Photos will take on a new dimension of creative capabilities for viewing the world in a whole new
way.
Picture Effect for more expressive photos
Picture Effect adds a new level of expression to photos, making ordinary landscapes and portraits
come to life by heightening mood and emphasizing certain attributes. Select camera models
have up to nine different effects.
Photo Creativity
Photo Creativity allows you to fine-tune your exposure settings, such as brightness, color, and
vividness, and quickly choose the right enhancement for your subject. Now you can view Picture
Effects and Photo Creativity effects in real time on the camera’s monitor or in the viewfinder
before shooting.
Background Defocus
Frame your shots like a pro with the DSC-HX200V. Its 18MP sensor and
30X optical/60X Clear Image zoom capture breathtaking photos at up
to 10fps, plus ultra-stabilized Full HD 1080/60p videos. High Speed Focus
improves AF speed and accuracy, while a GPS and compass record
location and shot direction so you can share your trips online.
