Get closer in a click: 55x extended zoom and advanced image processing let you zoom quickly into a scene and capture clear footage.

Shoot in low light and see the detail: The sensitive Exmor R™ CMOS sensor means you can capture detailed video and stills with reduced image noise, even in low light.

Capture quick motion in crisp detail: A high-speed BIONZ image processor gives you enhanced image quality and performance when you’re shooting fast-moving subjects.

Smooth and natural fast action: Perfect for filming sport, the 1920x1080/50p progressive mode records at a very high frame rate of 50 Full HD frames a second.

Capture stills in sharp detail: With 8.9 megapixel still image recording, you can shoot crisp, clear High Definition photos as well as movies.

Easy to review and play videos and images: Check what you’ve shot on the 7.5cm (3.0 inch) Clear Photo LCD touchscreen display, with high contrast and a wide viewing angle.

Stay smooth on the move: Optical SteadyShot Active Mode delivers 3-way camera shake correction at all zoom settings, even when you’re running.

Just point and shoot, without adjusting settings: iAuto automatically adjusts settings for the best results, recognising different faces, lighting and scenes such as landscapes.

Pick out the smiles in every scene: With Face Detection and Smile Shutter, you can automatically capture still photos of smiling faces while recording video.
