Easy made easier
This incredibly easy-to-use camera slips right in your pocket, ready to capture a memory at a moment's notice. Get close to faraway subjects with 5× optical zoom, then snap gorgeous 20.1MP photos or record beautifully detailed HD video. Your pictures will come out crisp and clear thanks to the professional-grade Sony lens with Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilization. For even more fun, enhance your stills and video with built-in creative effects like Toy Camera and Pop Color. Or try Beauty Effects to adjust skin tones, remove blemishes and even whiten teeth-it's perfect for portraits.

Sony Lens with 5× optical zoom
Bring all the action straight to you and capture it all via the professional Sony lens that features 5x optical zoom plus 10x Clear Image digital zoom.

Say goodbye to blur
Don't let a not-so-steady hand prevent you from capturing the moment. Optical SteadyShot image stabilization with Intelligent Active mode compensates for camera shake by countering camera movements in both horizontal and vertical directions. Get sharp, blur-free footage and photos in otherwise unsteady situations, like shooting video while walking or zoomed in.

More pixels please
Capture high-resolution images with superb contrast and clarity down to the finest detail thanks to the 20.1MP Super HAD™ CCD image sensor. More pixels means you can enlarge, zoom in and crop your pictures without jeopardizing quality.

Take it easy
Put your camera in Easy Mode to make taking shots a snap. This handy feature minimizes the layers of options in your menu, taking a lot of the guesswork out of getting perfect pictures.

Effortless effects
Let your imagination run free with a variety of fascinating in-camera effects for your still images (4 modes), videos (4 modes) and even sweep panoramas (3 modes). Picture Effect makes it quick and easy to find the perfect accent that makes your subjects come alive in charming, funny or interesting ways.

Panoramic photos up to 360°
Use Sweep Panorama mode to get breathtaking panoramic shots of up to 360 degrees. Capture sprawling landscapes and captivating cityscapes by pressing the shutter and sweeping the camera in the desired direction. The camera handles the rest, shooting multiple images at high speeds then seamlessly stitching them together to create one continuous image.
