Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX100 review
See pictures in a whole new way with the Cyber-shot® DSC-TX100V digital
camera. A vibrant 3.5" OLED touch screen provides easy focus selection
and photo viewing while a 16.2-megapixel "Exmor R" CMOS sensor
delivers stunning low-light performance. Capture expansive landscapes with
one touch iSweep Panorama or record crystal clear Full HD 1080/60i movies.
Also equipped with 3D still image and 3D Sweep Panorama, this camera will
change the way you view your world. Advanced features also include
Backlight Correction which helps you get details in difficult lighting
situations and Background Defocus that highlights your subject like a DSLR.
Backlight Correction Don’t miss a single detail in high contrast shots.
The built in backlight correction analyzes the image and automatically
adjusts accordingly to give you a perfectly lit shot.
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.
16.2 Megapixel Back-illuminated “Exmor R” CMOS Image Sensor The
DSC-TX100V features a 16.2 megapixel “Exmor R” CMOS image sensor that
brings out the full resolving power of the camera’s Carl Zeiss ®
Vario-Tessar ® lens to deliver extremely fast speed, high resolution, and
stunning low-light sensitivity with improved image clarity and drastically
reduced grain. In addition, the combined “Exmor R” CMOS sensor and
BIONZ ® image processor delivers extremely fast up to 10fps, Anti Motion
Blur, Hand-held Twilight and 1080p movie modes. 3
Background Defocus DSLR photographs are often beautiful because they blur
the background, putting the emphasis on your 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.
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-TX100V
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.
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-TX100V 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-TX100V 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.
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. 5
