each pixel, increasing sensitivity and
reducing noise.

automatically controls flash, focus,
exposure, and white balance to help

Sony Double Anti-Blur Solution
The combination of Super SteadyShot®
optical image stabilization and high
ISO sensitivity helps compensate for
shaky hands, minimizes blur, and allow
flash-
free shooting to preserve the
mood.
Super SteadyShot® Optical Image
Stabilization
Super SteadyShot® Image Stabilization
compensates for shaky hands and
minimizes blur with optical sensors that
detect camera movement and send
correcting signals to a stabilization lens
--
so there
s no need to crop in on your
shot to reduce blur.
High Sensitivity (ISO 3200) Mode
With high sensitivity of ISO 3200, you
can shoot effectively in low light
without flash to preserve the mood,
while the Sony Clear RAW™ Noise
Reduction system helps suppress the
color noise that can degrade low-light
shots.
Intelligent Scene Recognition Mode
Intelligent Scene Recognition mode
automatically detects six different types
of scenes and selects the appropriate
camera setting: Backlight, Backlight &
Portrait, Twilight, Twilight & Portrait,
Twilight with Tripod and Portrait.
Intelligent Scene Recognition has two
different modes, advanced and auto.
Advanced mode takes two shots, one
with the standard automatic settings
and the other with optimized settings.
Auto mode takes a single shot,
arbitrarily deciding on the proper
setting.
Dynamic Range Optimization
Powered by the exclusive Sony Bionz®
high-
speed processing engine,
Dynamic Range Optimization preserves
image data in bright highlights and
reveals more detail in shadows or
backlit areas --
for great results even in
difficult lighting conditions.

convenient photo modes, including
Auto, Program Auto, and Scene
