SonicStage
SonicStage lets you record the best 
tracks from your CDs or the Internet 
and store them on your hard disk for 
playback whenever you like. And 
when you want your music “to go”, 
just “check out” the tracks onto a 
Memory Stick or create an original 
compilation CD with the CD-RW 
drive on your VAIO. It’s a personal 
way to manage and enjoy your 
music collection.
PictureGear
Turn your VAIO into a dynamic 
digital photo album. PictureGear 
helps you organise your digital 
images and allows you to create 
wallpaper, screensavers and more.
Network Smart Capture 
You can capture moving and still 
images from a Digital Handycam 
connected via i.LINK cable, then 
attach them to email. Fixed Point 
Observation mode lets you take 
images automatically at intervals 
with a Web camera. Keep an eye on 
home or pets while you’re out, or 
upload images in real time to a web 
site!
PictureToy
Have fun drawing and writing on 
your images. You can easily 
decorate and add notes to digital 
photos using playful tools and 
stamps. Then instantly send your 
hand decorated photos as email 
attachments.
DigitalPrint
DigitalPrint makes it easy and 
enjoyable to print photos and labels. 
Simply select the photos you like 
from the thumbnail view, specify the 
number of copies and sheet size, 
preview the results and press 
“print”. Clipart and colourful stamps 
let you give them extra personality 
as well as print original albums. To 
create labels for various media 
including CD-R, just follow the easy 
to understand instructions.
MovieShaker
Create your own movies in a few 
simple clicks. Sony’s easy movie 
editing software creates personal 
movies — complete with transitions, 
special effects, background music 
and text. All you do is import your 
clips, pick the mood you want and 
MovieShaker does the rest.
DVgate
Create your own video 
masterpieces. DVgate lets you 
select scenes from videos you’ve 
taken with your DV (digital video) 
camera, then adjust, organise and 
assemble them into a movie that 
you can store or transfer back to DV.
Exclusive built-in VAIO software gives you the power to create more.
If you can imagine it, you can create it with a VAIO. Sony’s exclusive software makes professional level image editing and manipulation 
simple and fun for everyone. And the power of VAIO V505 allows you to handle large files quickly and easily. Animated movies, music 
videos, digital photo albums, holiday greeting cards, interactive email — they’re all possible with just a few clicks.
