Description

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX1 High Zoom Digital Camera has ultra-fast, 10-shots-per-second speed. Remarkable Exmor CMOS technology even makes it easy to capture photos in low light while maintaining smooth color gradation and crisp detail. Especially useful for beautiful landscape shots or shooting skyscrapers, the Sweep Panorama mode takes seamless 224-degree shots with breathtaking 9.1 megapixel results-just press the shutter and sweep in a horizontal or vertical direction.

And don't miss the 20x optical zoom or the Intelligent Auto mode that eliminates the guesswork by automatically adjusting camera settings for you. Optical SteadyShot image stabilization reduces blur for sharp, lifelike images. The HX1 features a 9.1 megapixel Exmor CMOS image sensor that brings out the full resolving power of the camera's precision G-Lens to deliver extremely fast speed, high resolution and stunning low-light sensitivity with improved image clarity and drastically reduced noise. With 9.1 megapixels, you can create stunning, photo-quality prints up to A3+ (13x19") size, or crop your images and still come away with high resolution shots.

Designed and manufactured to the highest standards of optical performance, the Sony G-Lens is optimized to perfectly complement the advanced image sensors and image processing technology in Sony's cameras. G lenses are used in top of the line digital single lens reflex (DSLR) cameras and advanced pro-summer HD Camcorders. Capture the action up close with the 20x optical zoom and with the 28mm wide angle lens the HX1 even allows you to capture more of the scenes in landscape or group portraits. The HX1's G Lens has a six blade aperture capable of producing a beautiful bokeh (beautifully defocused backgrounds with a soft natural feel). The aspherical lens elements made from ED (extra-low dispersion) minimize chromatic aberration common to high-magnification lenses.

Features

20x High Zoom: 20x optical zoom extends your reach and helps bring you closer to the action - a real benefit for sporting events, wildlife, distant landscape views and dramatic portrait shots
28mm Wide Angle Lens: Widen your view and capture more of the city, landscape, or group with a 28mm wide angle G lens
3.0" Clear Photo LCD tilt display (230k pixels): Compose and show off your images on the large 3.0" (230K) Clear Photo LCD Plus display, which tilts up or down approximately 90 degrees for easier high and low angle shooting and features a special anti-reflective coating for sharp visibility
CMOS Sensor: Enjoy extremely high resolution, fine tonal gradation and fast speed that faithfully reproduces every detail of your subject and reduces visual noise. The Exmor CMOS sensor brings out the full potential of the lens to ensure clear, high-precession image quality
BIONZ image processor: The BIONZ image processor delivers the high resolution and fast performance you expect from a Sony digital camera
High Speed Shooting (10fps): The HX1 can capture full 9.1 megapixel resolution images at up to 10 fps, helping to ensure you never miss the decisive moment. What's more, the HX1 employs a mechanical shutter that helps reduce distortion when continuously shooting moving subjects
Sweep Panorama Mode: Reach beyond the traditional wide angle lens and capture more breathtaking shots with the world's first Sweep Panorama Mode in a digital still camera
Handheld Twilight Mode: Capture cleaner and sharper night shots without using a tripod
Anti-Motion Blur Mode: Anti Motion Blur mode with allows you to capture shots with reduced noise and less blur., ideal when subject or object moves, in dim light environment or when using telephoto

Intelligent Auto Mode: Intelligent Auto (iAuto) mode goes beyond traditional auto settings by recognizing and adjusting to scene conditions and lighting, enhancing natural skin tones and reducing blur
Intelligent Scene Recognition: Intelligent Scene Recognition (iSCN) Mode automatically detects eight different types of scenes and, within just 1/30th of a second, selects the appropriate camera settings
Face Detection technology: Face Detection technology detects up to eight individual faces and controls flash, focus, exposure and white balance to deliver accurate, natural skin tones with reduced red-eye
Selected Face Memory: Optimizing focus, exposure and white balance for a specific face is easier now with selectable facial memory, even when the subject leaves the frame. This feature is perfect at weddings and other events where the goal is always to focus on a certain person
Anti-blink Function: It's frustrating to think you've captured that perfect shot, only to review it later and discover one of your subjects blinked just as you pressed the shutter. The Anti-blink function works to help counter blinking and squinting
Red-eye Reduction: Helps reduce common red-eye problems
Smile Shutter Technology: The popular Smile Shutter technology automatically detects and captures a smiling face. Simply activate by pressing the Smile Shutter button and the camera will capture a smile the moment it happens
Double Anti-blur Solution: The combination of Optical SteadyShot image stabilization and High ISO sensitivity helps compensate for shaky hands, minimizes blur and allows flash-free shooting to preserve the mood
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
High Sensitivity Mode (ISO 3200): High ISO allows for faster shutter speed, so you can take photos indoors or in low light without the need for a flash
Dynamic Range Optimizer Standard and Plus: Dynamic Range Optimizer (DRO) Standard and Plus uses a sophisticated algorithm to determine the best exposure and contrast settings for almost any shooting environment
Convenient Photo Modes: 13 convenient photo modes to quickly adjust for specific shooting conditions. Photo modes include iAuto, Easy, Program & Scene Selection such as High Sensitivity, Landscape, Soft Snap, Twilight Portrait, Twilight, Beach, Snow, Fireworks, Underwater and Gourmet Mode
9-Point Auto Focus: Because an off-centered subject can make your shot more interesting, a 9-point auto focus system measures nine precision focus points, giving you greater creative freedom to compose your images
Function Guide: This beginner-friendly optional function helps navigate through the various functions and settings tilt displaying the description of chosen functions or settings on the LCD screen
Intelligent Auto Focus: Auto Focus has become more intelligent, too. Cyber-shot automatically detects the changing situations such as subject brightness or zoom ratio and activates the auto focus before the user presses the shutter button
