Face Detection technology for Video
Footage and Digital Still Photos:
Made possible by the BIONZ™ image
processing engine, Face Detection
technology recognizes up to 8 faces
anywhere in the frame and by selecting
the most prominent, automatically
controls focus, exposure, and color to
help capture smiling faces brightly and
clearly. Face Detection technology also
helps make skin tones look natural
without affecting other colors in the
image. On AVCHD models, the
camcorder allocates encoding bits on
detected face areas prior to encoding
other parts of the picture, making them
sharper and clearer. In still picture
mode, Face Detection technology sets
the flash level to optimize picture
clarity.

Smile Shutter™ technology for still and

camcorder automatically take still

Optical SteadyShot™ image
stabilization with Active Mode:
Optical SteadyShot™ image
stabilization with Active Mode
represents the next step forward in
Sony® image stabilization technology.
Active Mode improves on existing
Optical SteadyShot image stabilization
by allowing the camera lens to shift
over a greater range of motion. This
allows the HDR-XR200V to compensate
for greater degrees of camera shake
and deliver a stunning level of image
smoothness.
