AF, and Intelligent Auto mode 10.2 Megapixel Back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS Image Sensor The DSC-WX1 features a 10.2 megapixel Exmor R CMOS image sensor that brings out the full resolving power of the cameras G lens to deliver extremely fast speed, high resolution, and stunning low-light sensitivity with improved image clarity and drastically reduced grain - 2x better than traditional sensors of equivalent size and pixel count. In addition, the combined Exmor R CMOS sensor and BIONZ imaging processor delivers extremely fast 10fps, Anti Motion Blur, Hand-held Twilight and 720p movie modes. Premium 24mm f/2.4 G Lens Designed and manufactured to the highest standards of optical performance, the Sony G Lens is optimized to perfectly complement the advanced image sensors and image processing technology in Sonys cameras. G lenses are used in top of the line digital single lens reflex (DSLR) cameras and advanced pro-sumer HD Camcorders. Capture the whole picture with 24mm wide angle lens Capture more of the scene in landscape or group portraits with the 24mm wide angle. Wide angle is especially useful in small rooms, where you cant get far enough back from your subjects to capture them all. 5x Optical Zoom Capture the action up close with the 5x optical zoom. Zoom in on kids on a soccer field or a jet skier on the lake, to see their expressions as they enjoy their sport. Ultra bright f/2.4 G Lens This f/2.4 aperture lens gathers twice as much light as typical compact camera lenses, allowing you to shoot indoors or in low light without flash and with less noise. 2.7" Clear Photo LCD Plus Compose and show off your images on the large 2.7 Clear Photo LCD Plus display (230K pixels) Compact design Measuring at just 3 9/16" x 2 1/16" x 25/32, the DSC-WX1 is compact enough to slip into most any pocket or purse, so you can take it with you wherever you go. BIONZ image processor The BIONZ image processor delivers the high resolution and fast performance you expect from a Sony digital camera. Fast processing enables Sweep Panorama to create the image in camera in seconds, clear images in low light settings, and layering one image over another to create a photo that looks just like what you see with your eyes. Sweep Panorama mode Reach beyond the traditional wide angle lens, and capture more breathtaking shots with Sweep Panorama Mode. Simply press the shutter button and sweep the camera in the desired direction and the camera continuously shoots at a high speed, then seamlessly stitches the images together with automatic position adjustment to create one stunning panoramic image. Available in wide and ultra-wide options, the camera can take panoramic shots of up to 256 degrees, which goes well beyond the limits of peripheral vision, even capturing areas somewhat behind you. Now capturing wide landscapes is as easy as press and sweep. High speed shooting The DSC-WX1 can capture ten full 10.2 megapixel resolution images at up to 10fps, helping to ensure that you capture the decisive moment such as the bat hitting the game winning homerun. In addition, the DSC-WX1 employs a mechanical shutter that helps reduce distortion when continuously shooting moving subjects.
Handheld Twilight Capture cleaner and sharper night shots without using a tripod. When set to Handheld Twilight Mode, the DSC-WX1 captures six images in a fraction of a second with one press of the shutter, and combines the data from all six to create a single image of extraordinary detail and low noise. With these modes, ADDITIONAL FEATURES you can capture images in low light, HD Movie (720p)9 without flash, beyond the capability of traditional cameras. Optical SteadyShot image stabilization Anti Motion Blur mode Capture cleaner and sharper images, even when your subject is moving. When set in Anti Motion Blur mode, the DSC-WX1 captures six images in a fraction of a second with higher shutter speed and combines the data from all six to create a single image of extraordinary detail and eliminate subject blur, beyond the capability of traditional cameras.

Notes on using your camera
[ Internal memory and Memory Stick Duo back up
Do not turn off the camera or remove the battery pack or Memory Stick Duo while the access lamp is lighted, as the internal memory data or Memory Stick Duo data may be destroyed. Always protect your data by making a back up copy.
[ Notes on the LCD screen
The LCD screen is manufactured using extremely high-precision technology so over 99.99% of the pixels are operational for effective use. However, there may be some tiny black points and/or bright points (white, red, blue or green in color) that constantly appear on the LCD screen. These points are normal in the manufacturing process and do not affect the recording in any way.
[ Notes on recording/playback
Before you record, make a trial recording to make sure that the camera is working correctly. This camera is neither dust-proof, nor splashproof, nor water-proof. Read Precautions (page 29) before operating the camera. Be careful not to get the camera wet. Water entering the inside of the camera may cause malfunctions which in some cases may not be repairable. Do not aim the camera at the sun or other bright light. It may cause the malfunction of your camera. Do not use the camera near a location that generates strong radio waves or emits radiation. The camera may not be able to record or play back properly. Using the camera in sandy or dusty locations may cause malfunctions. If moisture condensation occurs, remove it before using the camera (page 29). Do not shake or strike the camera. In addition to malfunctions and an inability to record images, this may render the recording medium unusable, or cause image data breakdown, damage or loss. Clean the flash surface before use. The heat of flash emission may cause dirt on the flash surface to become discolored or to stick to the flash surface, resulting in insufficient light emission.

[ To remove the battery pack/Memory Stick Duo

Battery life and number of images that can be recorded/viewed
The tables show the approximate number of images that can be recorded/viewed and the battery life when you shoot images in [Normal] mode with the battery pack at full capacity and at an ambient temperature of 25C (77F). The numbers of images that can be recorded or viewed take into account changing the Memory Stick Duo as necessary. Note that the actual numbers may be less than those indicated in the table depending on the conditions of use.
Battery capacity decreases as you use it more, as the time passes. The number of images that can be recorded/ viewed and the battery life are decreased under the following conditions: The surrounding temperature is low. The flash is used frequently. The camera has been turned on and off many times. The zoom is used frequently. The brightness of LCD Backlight is set to up. [AF Mode] is set to [Monitor]. [SteadyShot] is set to [Continuous]. The battery power is low. [Face Detection] is set to [On]. The measurement method is based on the CIPA standard. (CIPA: Camera & Imaging Products Association) The number of images/battery life does not change, regardless of image size.
