Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX10 review
Full HD 1080/60i Record crystal clear movies at the highest resolution
available with capability for 60i in 1080 Full HD. This provides stunning,
fast motion video with less distortion for playback on your HD TV. 5
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.
Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilization Optical SteadyShot™ image
stabilization uses a built-in gyro sensor to detect camera shake and
automatically shifts the lens to help prevent blur without sacrificing
image quality.
Hi-speed Linear Focus Life moves fast, your camera’s focus needs to move
just as fast. The Hi-speed linear focus achieves dramatically clearer
images with an auto focus that moves just as fast as your life.
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.
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.

Backlight Correction HDR Don’t miss a single detail in high contrast

Backlight Correction HDR helps correct for this by taking three pictures at
different exposure settings and processing the best elements of each into a
single image for more natural looking shots.

clarity, optimum dynamic range using backlight correction HDR technology

the moment it happens. Simply press the Smile Shutter™ button and the
camera does the rest. You can also select adult and child priority and

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.
