Extraordinary HD imaging experiences
Take your passion for amazing photos into another dimension. Experience 3D imaging, Full HD video and smart shooting features in a beautifully slim camera that puts DSLR-like picture quality within everyone’s reach.
Add a new dimension with 3D
Discover an incredible new world of 3D imaging, made possible by Sony. Sweep Panorama now lets you capture amazing 3D images to enjoy on your 3D TV. Sweep Multi Angle creates amazing 3D-like effects you can enjoy in 2D by simply tilting the camera screen from side to side.
DSLR-like picture quality
Now you can enjoy DSLR-style picture quality, but without the size and weight of a DSLR camera. New Superior Auto Mode intelligently combines up to 6 images for stunning results with low noise and high dynamic range. You can also achieve beautiful portraits with a smoothly defocused background - just like a pro photographer.
Magical movies
Left your camcorder behind? One touch is all that’s needed to start shooting brilliantly crisp, detailed HD 1080i video clips with your Cyber-shot™ camera. Picture quality is brilliantly clear and smooth, while efficient AVCHD video compression keeps files smaller for storing and sharing on your PC.
Sensational images, even in low light
Many cameras struggle to produce crisp, clear images in low light. The revolutionary Exmor R™ CMOS sensor boosts sensitivity while reducing image noise for brilliant, detail-packed pictures.
Great images at your fingertips
A colourful, detail-packed LCD screen helps you frame every shot with more confidence. The wide, high-contrast touchscreen lets you see exactly what you’re shooting – even in bright light when you’re outdoors. The touchscreen also simplifies quick adjustment of shooting settings.
