Digital Still Cameras - W Series

Featuring a back-illuminated design that maximises and efficiently utilises the amount of light received, making it twice as sensitive as conventional CMOS sensor. You can enjoy cleaner and higher definition images with less noise when shooting in dark environment such as night scenes.

Sweep your camera horizontally to create stunning landscape shots, or vertically to capture tall object like building. Photos are taken at 10 frames per second and automatically assembled to create a single breathtaking panoramic picture.

Capture the perfect shot with ease with the Intelligent Auto (iAuto) mode. Automatically determining the optimised settings for different scenes, iAuto mode combines the innovative technologies of Intelligent Scene Recognition, Face Detection and Smile shutter to ensure that every shot is perfect, regardless of the shooting environment.

Let the camera detect between the different types of scenes, automatically selecting the optimum settings for each situation. With this mode, shooting in varied situation is a breeze.

The BIONZ Image Processing Engine suppresses colour and luminance noise, giving you enhanced colour reproduction, rich tonal graduations and an amazing clarity of detail that captures the instant the way it was meant to be.

Sony's Face Detection Technology will automatically adjust the focus, exposure, white balance and even flash control on multiple faces in the single shot.

Now you can capture not only amazing pictures, but also brilliant videos. These movie files, which can be handled as easily as still images, can be viewed on a HDTV and are also perfect for sharing with friends by uploading to Internet sharing sites.

Designed to catch the most dazzling smiles from your subjects. This innovative feature captures all your happy moments by automatically taking pictures only when the person is smiling.
