The DSC-WX1 features a 10.2 megapixel Exmor R CMOS image sensor that brings out the full resolving power of the camera’s G lens to deliver extremely fast speed, high resolution, and stunning low-light sensitivity with improved image clarity and drastically reduced grain 50% better than traditional sensors of equivalent size and pixel count. In addition, the combined Exmor R CMOS sensor and BIONZ imaging processor delivers extremely fast 10 frames per second shooting, Anti Motion Blur, Hand-held Twilight and 1Digital Cameras0 x 720 HD movie modes.
The Sony G Lens is optimised to perfectly complement the advanced image sensors and image processing technology in SonyÂ’s cameras. G lenses are used in top of the line digital single lens reflex (DSLR) cameras and advanced pro-sumer HD video cameras.
Capture more of the scene in landscape or group portraits with the 24mm wide angle. Wide angle is especially useful in small rooms, where you canÂ’t get far enough back from your subjects to capture them all.
Capture the action up close with the 5x optical zoom. Zoom in on kids on a rugby field to see their expressions as they enjoy their sport.
Compose and show off your images on the large 2.7 inch Clear Photo LCD Plus display with a screen resolution of 230 000 pixels.
The DSC-WX1 is compact enough to slip into most pockets or a purse, so you can take it with you wherever you go.
Capture cleaner and sharper night shots without using a tripod. When set to Handheld Twilight Mode, the DSC-WX1 captures six images in a fraction of a second with one press of the shutter, and combines the data from all six to create a single image of extraordinary detail and low noise. With these modes, you can capture images in low light, without flash, beyond the capability of traditional cameras.
Capture cleaner and sharper images, even when your subject is moving. When set in Anti Motion Blur mode, the DSC-WX1 captures six images in a fraction of a second with higher shutter speed and combines the data from all six to create a single image.
Capture breathtaking shots 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 panoramic image. Available in wide and ultra-wide options, the camera can take panoramic shots of up to 256 degrees, which goes beyond the limits of peripheral vision, even capturing areas behind you.
The DSC-WX1 can capture ten full 10.2 megapixel resolution images at up to 10 frames per second, helping to ensure that you capture the decisive moment. In addition, the DSC-WX1 employs a mechanical shutter that helps reduce distortion when continuously shooting moving subjects.
Record HD movies in 1Digital Cameras0 x 720p High Definition MPEG4 format for stunning large-screen home movie playback. Recording time limited to 29 minutes of a file size of 2Gb.
Optical SteadyShot image stabilisation uses a built-in gyro sensor to detect camera shake and automatically shifts the lens to help prevent blur without sacrificing image quality.
Unlike traditional auto mode, Intelligent Auto (iAuto) mode thinks for you, recognising scenes, lighting conditions, and faces, and adjusts settings resulting in clear images, faces with natural skin tone, and less blur. Advanced features such as Intelligent Scene Recognition, Face Detection technology, iAuto mode lets you take advantage of the latest Sony Cyber-shot technology without leaving auto mode. Whether youÂ’re shooting landscapes, capturing action, or taking pictures at a party or wedding , iAuto mode will optimise your cameraÂ’s settings to help ensure you capture great memories.
SonyÂ’s improved Face Detection technology can automatically distinguish between children and adults. Face Detection technology detects up to eight individual faces and adjusts focus, exposure, and white balance to help deliver crisp, properly lit images while Motion Detection, along with Face Motion Detection adjusts ISO sensitivity and increases the shutter speed when movement is detected, reducing blur in moving subjects and faces.
Retouch and enhance your photos on the go with in-camera Cropping, Red-Eye Correction, and Unsharp Masking functions.
