Clear Image Zoom
Dramatically enhanced Clear Image
Zoom utilizes proprietary By Pixel Super
Resolution Technology to digitally zoom
the center of your image up to 2x with
nearly imperceptible degradation. It
virtually doubles your zooming range to
that of zoom lenses when using a standard
lens or to that of super telephoto lenses
when using a telephoto lens. So you
can create dramatic “close-ups”, enjoy
greater shooting flexibility and take more
advantage of the brightness of compact
single-focus lenses.
Auto Portrait Framing
Sony makes it easy to create
beautifully balanced portraits
with a truly professional look.
Simply photograph a person and new
Auto Portrait Framing — the world’s
first feature of its kind* — will save an
additional, optimally framed image in
the vertical or horizontal orientation. The
feature even recognizes the direction
your subject is facing and captures
more of the scene in that direction to
create a more appealing balance. Auto
Portrait Framing employs face detection
technology and the “rule of thirds”
principle to achieve this amazing feat.
It also applies Sony’s proprietary By Pixel
Super Resolution Technology to Clear
Image Zoom to ensure trimmed images
feature the same number of pixels as
the original. Even close-ups provide
great results thanks to highly
dramatic trimming.
