Sony DSC-WX50 Specification Guide

16.2 Megapixel Back-illuminated Exmor

R CMOS Image Sensor

This camera features a 16.2 megapixel Exmor

R CMOS image sensor that brings out the full

resolving power of the camera’s Carl Zeiss

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 up to 10fps, Anti Motion Blur, Hand-held Twilight and 1080i movie modes.

Optical zoom plus Clear Image 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.

Full HD 1080/60i

Record crystal clear movies at the highest resolution available with capabilities for 60i in 1080

AVCHD™ video.¹ This provides stunning, fast motion video with less distortion for playback on your

HD TV.

With dual record of stills and movies, you can shoot both at the same time.

Capture the decisive moment - up to 10fps

Capture full 16.2 megapixel resolution images at up to 10 frames per second, helping to ensure

that the decisive moment is captured such as the soccer ball flying into the goal. In addition, a

mechanical shutter helps reduce distortion when continuously shooting moving subjects.

Optical SteadyShot™ with Active Mode

Optical SteadyShot™ with Active Mode for blur-free movies even while walking.

Camera-shake

compensation using Optical SteadyShot/Active Mode has been improved with the addition of

new electronic image stabilization.Now it’s easier than ever to obtain sharp, blur-free movies

even when zooming in unsteady situations, such as shooting with one hand while walking.

3D Still Image and 3D Sweep Panorama™ mode

Produce awe-inspiring images with 3D Still Image and 3D Sweep Panorama™ capabilities.

Photos will take on a new dimension of creative capabilities for viewing the world in a whole new

way.

Intelligent Sweep Panorama™ HR mode

With Intelligent Sweep Panorama™ HR mode just press the shutter, pan the landscape and let

the camera do the rest. It automatically links together each frame to produce a high resolution

panoramic image providing the ability to zoom in on small details. This model even detects

faces and moving subjects to stitch intelligently different widths to help avoid subject distortion.

Background Defocus

DSLR photographs are often beautiful because they blur the background, putting the emphasis

on the 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 keeping

the subject crisp and clear.

Picture Effect

Picture Effect adds a new level of expression to photos, making ordinary landscapes and portraits

come to life by heightening mood and emphasizing certain attributes. Select models have up to

nine effects.

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. Superior Auto intelligently detects 33

scenes for still images and movies, making it easy to get the best shot.
