You'll also be impressed by Superior Auto, Background Defocus and Full HD 1080/60i AVCHD movies


Take Unbelievable 3D Photos
Capture vast scenic vistas and 16:9 shots in spectacular 3D. As you sweep across the panorama, the camera records separate right-eye and left-eye images that make landscapes come alive on your compatible 3D television.

3D Sweep Panorama
Effortless Panoramic Shots
Intelligent Sweep Panorama Mode reaches beyond the traditional wide angle lenses to let you capture expansive, breathtaking shots of landscapes (horizontal) or skyscrapers (vertical). Just press the shutter and shoot the scene with a sweeping motion. The camera does the rest.

Great Low-light Shots Without a Flash
Sometimes a flash can wash out the scene, making it hard to capture the mood of the moment. For low-light environments, the back-illuminated "Exmor R" CMOS sensor delivers stunning performance and increases sensitivity by 2x to reduce noise. Shots around the campfire never looked better.

HD Movies Perfect for the Big Screen

Touch 'n' View
No more fussing with tiny buttons. Just tap the large, 3.5" (diag.) touch screen display (921K pixels) to review your shots in vivid color and ultra-sharp contrast. Thanks to a layer of hardened glass, the display is incredibly durable.

Easy Just Got Easier
Get cleaner, more dynamic pictures and fewer missed shots with the all-new Superior Auto mode. 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 and lower image noise.
