Histogram Indicator
The histogram indicator shows the luminance distribution of the image before it is captured. Displayed with the live image on the LCD screen, the histogram allows the subject brightness to be evaluated and adjusted (if necessary), so as to optimise the camera’s exposure control.
Perfect for recording a smother beach on a moonless night, as it zeroes in no difficult, low-light, low-contrast subjects.
Whether you are shooting the fireworks at night in the summer or snow-capped mountains in the winter, Sony's Hybrid LCD reproduces excellent viewing clarity and visibility in any lighting situations.
Manual Exposure
Flexible Exposure control is provided with Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority and Manual Exposure modes. Program Shift lets you select aperture/shutter speed combinations for direct control of motion and depth of field, while still in Program AE mode.

MPEG Movie VX
Allows you to capture video and audio clips. It provides 640 x 480 image resolution and good sound quality that can be viewed either on your PC or TV.
PictBridge
Print without a PC! Simply connect the printer to a PictBridge-enabled digital camera or camcorder via a USB cable. Use the camera's LCD display to select the images and input them onto the printer’s control panel and start printing.
Picture Effects
Unique pictures are easy to achieve by applying the Picture Effects filters, four different effects are available.
Program AE
Program AE brings a whole new level of user-friendliness and control to digital Mavica cameras, making them the ideal digital cameras in any situation. Six preprogrammed exposure setting – gives you fast solution to most common photography scenarios.

Operating with a new and unique technology from Digital Zoom, the Smart Zoom in an advanced feature that lets you zoom in to capture intricate details without causing any deterioration in picture quality.
STAMINA Battery Life
Battery life should be the last thing you have to worry about, and with Sony, it is. Using a combination of efficient power management system, and low current power consumption. Your Handycam or Cyber-shot will last longer before it requires charging.
SteadyShot
Takes out minor picture jitter/shake. Optical SteadyShot uses a lens system, while electronic SteadyShot uses a larger CCD for increased image area and less shake.
Super NightShot
A built-in, infrared system that lets you capture video in monochrome recording from up to 10 feet away even in total darkness (0 lux). Super NightShot also allows you to employ one of two Slow Shutter speeds to increase picture brightness, contrast and quality.
14-bit DXP Converter
The 14-bit DXP is able to reproduce pictures more naturally with an enhanced dynamic range. Its better signal processing ability decreases digital noise for clearer, cleaner, and more defined images. This is especially effective for darker images.
3x Optical Zoom
With Optical Zoom, image quality isn’t affected even when the magnification is increased. You'll be able to capture distant subject with optical clarity.
AF Illuminator
With an emission of visible light, it makes possible to focus on object that is normally difficult in a dark place. With AF Illuminator, the detection from proper focus distance becomes accurate.
Auto Focus / Auto Macro (10cm)
Need to take clear close-ups? The Auto Focus function will give you sharp images as close as 10cm, perfect for taking notes, timetables or even picture memos.
On Demo mode, the Battery info display will appear when the button is pressed. The new display shows the level of charging at 10% of the remaining capacity on the bar.
Using a buffer memory system, the Burst Mode temporarily speeds up data transmission between shots. This allows you to take 3 consecutive shots (interval of 0.5 sec) without needing to wait for the camera to record each individual image.
Clear Colour NR
Clear Colour NR reduces noise in the co lour signed, which is useful when the subject includes areas o similar colour, such as blue-sky backgrounds. In addition, it is effective in capturing more images by reducing luminance noise without destroying resolution data.
Clip Motion
The clip Motion function lets you automatically create GIF animation files instantly. Simply switch to Clip Motion in the menu, and snap up to 10 frames you want animated. You’ll be surprised with how much fun you’ll have creating your own video masterpieces.
Continuous Auto Focus
