With an impressive 40x Clear Image digital zoom, faraway subjects are never out of reach with this Cyber-shot® HX30V camera. Just zoom in and click away—your photos and Full HD videos will sparkle with deliciously detailed richness and clarity thanks to high-performance features like an 18.2MP Exmor® R CMOS sensor, in-camera image stabilization and high speed auto focus. And with built-in Wi-Fi®, you can share your shots instantly with friends, family, Facebook® and more.

With an 18.2MP Exmor R CMOS sensor, capture high-resolution images that take full advantage of the camera's quality Sony G lens. More pixels means you can enlarge, zoom in and crop your photos without losing detail. Advanced processing technology reduces noise and graininess for incredibly crisp, clear images—even in challenging low-light conditions.

Focusing is faster than ever thanks to the collaboration of four technologies: an advanced Sony G lens, Exmor R CMOS sensor, a newly-developed BIONZ® image processor and optimized focus processing. The result? Tack-sharp focus in as little as 0.1 seconds, so you never miss a shot.

Zoom in close for great travel, sports and wildlife photos. The HX30V boasts 20x optical zoom plus 40x Clear Image digital zoom technology to bring you near enough to capture distant details. Powerful By Pixel Super Resolution processing reduces graininess for crisper, more realistic, higher-quality images—even in close-ups.

Don't wait days to share photos with your friends. With built-in Wi-Fi, you can share your shots instantly with the PlayMemories Mobile™ app. Upload pictures and videos to social media sites via your Wi-Fi-enabled smartphone or tablet, back up images on a network-connected PC or view content on your compatible TV. It's fun and easy.

Don't let a not-so-steady hand prevent you from capturing the moment. Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilization with Active Mode compensates for camera shake by countering camera movements in both horizontal and vertical directions. Get sharp, blur-free footage in otherwise unsteady situations, like shooting video while walking.

Record crystal-clear movies at the highest resolution available with Full HD 1080/60p AVCHD™ video capture1. Stunning, fast motion video with reduced distortion looks great when played back on your HDTV2. Notice a perfect photo opp while shooting video? With dual record of stills and movies, you can shoot both at the same time.
