Satisfyingly simple.
Shoot frame-worthy photos and beautiful HD videos perfect for sharing on Facebook® or YouTube™. This powerful, pocket-sized camera makes it a breeze with supremely simple, user-friendly features. Its 16.1MP sensor delivers lovely, high-resolution images while 5x optical zoom makes capturing close-ups a snap. You can even edit pictures straight from the camera with Beauty Effects—adjust skin tones, blot out blemishes, whiten teeth and more. It makes for utterly eye-pleasing portraits.

Pixel power.
With a 16.1MP Super HAD™ CCD image sensor, capture high-resolution images with superb contrast and clarity down to the finest detail. More pixels means you can enlarge, zoom in and crop your pictures without jeopardizing quality. And with 5x optical zoom, you can zero in on distant details for crisp, clear close-ups—perfect for travel photos and sporting events.

HD movie magic.
Shoot and share HD movies with ease (records in 29-minute segments). In 720p AVI movie mode, you can record 1280 x 720 HD movies at 30 fps for high-quality clips perfect for viewing and editing on your Mac® or PC, or uploading to sites like Facebook® and YouTube™ (internet-connected computer required).

Effortless effects.
Let your imagination run free with a variety of fascinating in-camera effects. Retouch images with professional results with Beauty Effects—enhance skin tone, remove shine and blemishes, whiten teeth and more. If you like retro photographs, you'll love Toy Camera—it gives your pictures a charming lo-fi feel. Transform ordinary photos into colorful works of art with Pop Color, or make your focal point pop with Partial Color effect. It's quick and easy to apply effects, and the results are simply stunning.

Everything is illuminated.
Ever taken a photo of a friend in a dimly-lit room, and had the entire background come out as one blacked-out blur? Frustrating, yes—not to mention less than frame-worthy. The Cyber-shot W710 solves this dilemma with an advanced flash that works harder to light up the entire scene, not just the subjects closest to the camera. It's perfect for large group shots, helping to ensure that everyone comes out light, bright and beautiful.

Panoramic photos up to 360°.
Use Sweep Panorama mode to get breathtaking panoramic shots of up to 360 degrees. Capture sprawling landscapes and captivating cityscapes by pressing the shutter and sweeping the camera in the desired direction. The camera handles the rest, shooting multiple images at high speeds then seamlessly stitching them together to create one continuous image.

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