Sony DSC-WX80 Specification Guide

Key Features

8x optical zoom plus 16x Clear Image Digital Zoom

Get up close with 8x optical zoom plus 16x Clear Image digital zoom. Most digital zooms use electronic cropping to get 

closer to the subject, resulting in unsharp images. With Clear Image Zoom the powerful processor compares patterns 

found in adjacent pixels and creates new pixels to match selected patterns, resulting in more realistic, higher-quality 

images. Clear Image Zoom doubles optical zoom for closer photos.
