Intelligent Sweep Panorama™ mode With Intelligent Sweep Panorama™ mode
just press the shutter, pan the landscape and let the camera do the rest.
It automatically links together each frame to produce a high resolution
panoramic image providing the ability to zoom in on small details. This
model even detects faces and moving subjects to stitch intelligently
different widths to help avoid subject distortion.
Soft Skin mode Portrait subjects will love the results. Soft Skin mode
recognizes skin tones and reduces the appearance of blemishes and wrinkles
without affecting the rest of the shot.
Carl Zeiss ® Vario-Tessar ® Lens with 25mm equivalent wide angle 4x
Optical Zoom The high-performance Carl Zeiss ® Vario-Tessar ® 4x optical
zoom lens brings distant subjects closer for video recording as well as for
outdoor, sports, and travel photos, and Close Focus shoots close-ups within
a ?” of the subject. A 25mm equivalent wide-angle lens allows you to
take wider shots of the scene or group in crowded spaces.
Face Detection technology Sony’s Face Detection technology can
automatically distinguish between children and adults. Face Detection
technology detects up to eight individual faces and adjusts flash, focus,
exposure, and white balance to help deliver crisp, properly lit images of
family and friends.
Sweep Multi Angle™ mode In Sweep Multi Angle™ mode, the camera takes 15
images at different angles as it sweeps across the scene. By tilting the
camera during playback, the camera’s Gyro Sensor detects motion and
displays the image in a 3D-like view on the camera’s LCD.
TransferJet™ technology TransferJet™ technology, developed by Sony ®
and advanced and promoted by a consortium of 18 other companies, allows the
transfer of up to ten files between two TransferJet™ enabled devices just
by touching their TransferJet™ logos together, without the hassle of
hunting for cables or the complication of pairing. 6

Rugged and Stylish This camera is just as much at home in the water as on a
night on the town! The sleek and stylish TX10 fits the slimmest pocket or
purse, yet is waterproof to a depth of 16 ft 8 , shockproof from falls up
to approximately 5 ft 7 and dustproof 10 thanks to its airtight
construction. As well, this durable camera can even withstand extreme
weather conditions, as it is operable in temperatures from 14- to
104-degrees Fahrenheit 9 . Seamlessly shifting from underwater marvels to a
night on the town, the TX10 always makes it easy to get the best shot!
Full HD 1080/60i Record crystal clear movies at the highest resolution
available with capabilities for 60i in 1080 Full HD. This provides
stunning, fast motion video with less distortion for playback on your HD
TV. 6
Background Defocus DSLR photographs are often beautiful because they blur
the background, putting the emphasis on the subject. Now our
point-and-shoot cameras can deliver this signature DSLR benefit. The system
takes two shots, identifies the background and applies a defocused
background keeping the subject crisp and clear.
Natural Flash Conventional point-and-shoot camera flash shots just
don’t capture colors the way the eye sees them. Natural Flash mode
takes a reference shot without flash and then uses that reference to
correct the color, for far more lifelike images.
HDMI™ output The High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI™) is a
compact audio/video connector interface for transmitting uncompressed
digital streams. HDMI connects digital audio/video sources such as a
compatible camcorder, Blu-ray Disc™ player, a personal computer, a video
game console, or an AV receiver to a compatible digital audio device and/or
video monitor such as a digital television (DTV). Easily connect your
Cyber-shot ® camera via HDMI cable(sold separately) to any compatible HDMI
device to easily enjoy and upload content.
Motion Detection 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.
Anti-Motion Blur Mode Capture cleaner and sharper images in low light for
non landscape shots. When set in Anti-motion Blur Mode, the DSC-TX10
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 of extraordinary
detail and dramatically reduce subject blur, beyond the capability of
traditional cameras.
Compatible with PC and Mac ® Systems The Full HD video captured with the
DSC-TX10 can be used with the provided Picture Motion Browser software1 for
PC and iMovie ® (sold separately) for Mac ® systems.
3.0” (921K dots) XtraFine LCD™ display 3.0” (920K dots) XtraFine
LCD™ technology gives you brilliant-quality still images and movies with
easy focus.
3D Still Image and 3D Sweep Panorama™ Produce awe-inspiring images with
3D still image and 3D Sweep Panorama™ capabilities. Images will take on a
new dimension to view the world in a whole new way. 5
Superior Auto mode Get cleaner, more dynamic pictures and fewer missed
shots. The camera automatically recognizes the correct scene mode, then
quickly shoots and combines up to six shots to produce images with greater
clarity, optimum dynamic range using backlight correction HDR technology
and lower image noise using 6 shots layering technology. Superior Auto
intelligently detects 36 scenes for still images and movies, making it easy
to get the best shot.
High speed shooting The DSC-TX10 can capture full 16.2 megapixel resolution
images at up to 10 frames per second, helping to ensure that the decisive
moment is captured such as the soccer ball flying into the goal. In
addition, the DSC-TX10 employs a mechanical shutter that helps reduce
distortion when continuously shooting moving subjects.
Smile Shutter™ technology Smile Shutter™ technology captures a smile
the moment it happens. Simply press the Smile Shutter™ button and the
camera does the rest. Also select adult and child priority and indicate the
degree of Smile Detection sensitivity. Intelligent Scene Recognition can be
used together with Smile Shutter™ mode. This means that beautiful smiles
can be captured with settings optimized for the particular scene, even in
difficult conditions such as twilight and backlighting.
Anti-blink Function It’s frustrating to capture the perfect shot, only to
review it later and discover subjects blinked during the photo. When the
camera is set to Soft Snap, the Anti-blink function captures two images,
recording only the photo with less squinting or blinking. If a blink is
detected in other shooting modes, a warning will be displayed after you
take the shot.
Backlight Correction HDR Shooting high-contrast scenes can often lead to
washed out backgrounds and/or details lost in shadow. Backlight Correction
HDR helps correct for this by taking three pictures at different exposure
settings and processing the best elements of all three into a single image
for more natural looking shots.
Includes Sony ® PMB (Picture Motion Browser) Software ver. 5.5 Sony ®
Picture Motion Browser software offers a simple, intuitive way to transfer,
sort, and view your video and still images on your compatible PC.? In
addition, multiple output options let you burn your memories to DVD using
an external DVD burning device (sold separately), as well as take advantage
of one click upload to a number of popular video and photo sharing sites
