12.2 Megapixel Back-illuminated 
“Exmor R” CMOS Image Sensor 
The DSC-WX5 features a 12.2 megapixel 
“Exmor R” CMOS image sensor that 
brings out the full resolving power of the 
camera’s Sony G Lens F2.4 bright lens 
to deliver extremely fast speed, high 
resolution, and stunning low-light 
sensitivity with improved image clarity 
and drastically reduced grain. In 
addition, the combined “Exmor R” 
CMOS sensor and BIONZ™  image 
processor delivers extremely fast 10fps, 
Anti Motion Blur, Hand-held Twilight 
and 1080i movie modes .

Superior Auto mode
Get cleaner, more dynamic pictures 
and fewer missed shots. The camera 
automatically recognizes the correct 
scene mode, then quickly shoots and 
combines up to six shots to produce 
images with greater clarity, optimum 
dynamic range using backlight 
correction HDR technology and lower 
image noise using 6 shots layering 
technology.
Background Defocus
DSLR photographs are often beautiful 
because they blur the background, 
putting the emphasis on your subject. 
Now our point-and-shoot cameras can 
deliver this signature DSLR benefit. The 
system takes two shots, identifies the 
background and applies a defocused 
background while keeping your subject 
crisp and clear.
3D Sweep Panorama
Capture vast scenic vistas and 16:9 
shots in spectacular 3D. As you sweep 
across the panorama, the camera 
records separate right-eye and left-eye 
images that make landscapes come 
alive on your 3D television.

Intelligent Sweep Panorama Mode
Capture expansive landscapes with 
Intelligent Sweep Panorama Mode. 
Press shutter and sweep and the camera 
does the rest, continuously, shooting 
images and in one second stitching 
them together. This model even detects 
faces and moving subjects to stitch 
intelligently different widths to help 
avoid subject distortion.
1080i AVCHD Movie Mode
Record movies in 1080i AVCHD high 
definition at 60i . With HDMI 
connectivity you may enjoy instant 
playback on compatible HDTV or LCD 
of the camera. The AVCHD format 
captures a high degree of detail and 
smooth movement, and when footage 
is burned to disc, can be played back 
on Blu-ray Disc™  players, Sony
PlayStation
3 systems and 
compatible PCs and HDTVs. The 
convenience Movie start/stop button 
makes it easy to access this mode.

Backlight Correction HDR
Shooting high-contrast scenes can often 
lead to washed out backgrounds 
and/or details lost in shadow. 
Backlight Correction HDR helps correct 
for this by taking two pictures at 
different exposure settings and 
processing the best elements of both 
into a single image for more natural 
looking shots.
