Take great shots anywhere, even underwater


Crisp, clear pictures any time, any place: Ski, swim or party with the camera that’s waterproof to depths of 10 metres and resists dust, freezing, knocks and bumps.

Capture 18.2 megapixel detail, even in low lightr: Shoot detail-packed stills and movies, even indoors or in dim light, with the 18.2 effective megapixels Exmor R™ CMOS sensor.

Ready to shoot, near or far: The high-quality Carl Zeiss lens with 5x optical zoom handles every scene, from wide-angle landscapes to portraits and close-ups.

Get a wider view: Make sure nothing’s left out of the picture – the wide-angle lens packs more into holiday scenes, interiors and group shot.

See the world in miniature: Zoom in for a fascinating view of tiny objects with Magnifying Glass Plus mode and the camera’s LED light to brighten up close-ups.

Add artistic picture effects: Add up to 9 different creative effects to stills, movies and panoramas without having to download and use image-editing software.

Don’t leave it to guesswork: Intelligent Auto recognises a wide range of scenes and adjusts settings automatically so you can get detailed results every time.

Capture action with no blur: Superior Auto recognises when subjects are moving in your picture and automatically adjusts settings for crisp, blur-free results.

Shoot smooth, steady Full HD movies: Film smooth, steady video clips in Full HD, even when you’re walking or zooming, with Optical SteadyShot Active Mode.

Get clear close-ups: Powerful 10x Clear Image Zoom fills the frame, even with distant subjects so your shots always stay clear and detail-packed.

Shoot high quality pictures quickly: The BIONZ processor is key to high-speed continuous shooting at 10 frames per second and finely detailed image quality.

Don’t worry about unsteady hands: Enjoy crisper, blur-free still photos with Optical SteadyShot that cuts handheld wobbles when you don’t have a tripod.

See detail in the dark: Use Extra High Sensitivity mode to capture crisp detail in the dimmest conditions like dusk or candlelight.

See photos clearly on-screen: Enjoy a big, bright view of photos and movies on the high resolution 8.3cm (3.3") OLED touchscreen.

All the colour you’ve dreamed of: Triluminos Colour gives a rich, vivid palette of natural colours when viewing photos on a compatible TV from Sony.

Flatter your portrait subject: Let the camera automatically remove skin blemishes, brighten teeth, widen eyes and cut forehead shine when you capture portraits.

Capture full panoramas with movement and faces: Just press the shutter button and sweep the camera for extra-wide panoramas of landscapes, city scenes and packed parties.

Boost your flash photography: Advanced Flash brightens up dim scenes, lighting up subjects who are further away from the camera.
