Capture wide open ranges and soaring cityscapes with Sweep Panorama™ mode. Get great looking shots of your next night out without little to no learning curve — Face Detection and Smile Shutter™ technologies will help catch your subjects at their best while SteadyShot® greatly reduces blur. Ultra-wide, 230-degree Panoramic Shots Use Sweep Panorama mode to get breathtaking 230-degree panoramic shots. Capture beautiful horizons and captivating cityscapes by pressing the shutter button and sweeping the W530 in the desired direction. The camera does the rest, shooting multiple images at high speeds and seamlessly stitching them together to create one continuous image. Goodbye Blurry Photos Don't let a not-so-steady hand prevent you from capturing the moment. Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilization compensates for camera shake and helps prevent blur through use of digital processing technologies. A Smarter Auto Mode Unlike traditional auto mode, Intelligent Auto (iAuto) mode thinks for you — recognizing scenes, lighting conditions and faces — and automatically adjusts the settings for you. The results are clear images, faces with natural skin tone and less blur. Faces First Sony's Face Detection technology detects up to eight individual faces and adjusts focus, exposure, flash, and white balance to help deliver crisp, properly lit images of family and friends. Fit Everybody In The professional-quality Carl Zeiss® Vario-Tessar® 4x optical zoom lens with 26mm equivalent wide angle brings distant subjects closer for great outdoor and travel photos. Plus, the wide angle lens helps you fit everyone in for better group photos. Catch Them Smiling Capture a smile the moment it happens with Smile Shutter™ technology. Simply press the Smile Shutter button and when your subject smiles, a photo is automatically taken. You can even adjust the sensitivity for adults or children for even better results. Combining a variety of intelligent, easy-to-use features, the DSC-W530 Cyber-shot® digital camera makes it a breeze to shoot life as it happens. Capture landscapes with one touch using Sweep Panorama Mode and snap that perfect portrait with Smile Shutter™ technology. Powerful and pocket-sized, the W530 also features 14.1 megapixels and a 26mm wide angle lens with 4x optical zoom. In addition to SteadyShot™ image stabilization which compensates for camera shake, this camera also has Intelligent Auto (iAuto) mode that thinks for you by recognizing scenes, lighting conditions and faces, then automatically adjusts settings for clear images with less blur. 14.1 Megapixel Super HAD™ CCD Image Sensor A powerful 14.1 megapixel 1/2.3" Super HAD™ CCD image sensor helps you capture gorgeous images with superb contrast and clarity down to the finest detail. With 14.1 megapixels, you can create stunning, photo-quality prints up to A3+ (13x19”) size, or crop your images and still come away with high resolution shots. 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 230 degrees. Now capturing wide landscapes is as easy as press and sweep. Face Detection technology Face Detection technology detects up to eight individual faces and adjusts focus, exposure, and white balance to help deliver crisp, properly lit images of family and friends. Soft Skin mode Portrait subjects will love the results. Soft Skin mode recognizes skin tones and reduces the appearance of blemishes and wrinkles without affecting the rest of the shot. Anti-blink Function It’s frustrating to capture the perfect shot, only to review it later and discover subjects blinked during the photo. The Anti-blink function works to help counter blinking and squinting. When the camera is set to Soft Snap, the Anti-blink function captures two images, recording only the photo with less squinting. If a blink is detected in other shooting modes, a warning will be displayed after you take the shot. High Sensitivity Mode (ISO 3200) High ISO allows for faster shutter speed, so you can take photos indoors or in low light without the need for a flash. In addition to High Sensitivity Mode (ISO), you can select up to seven ISO settings (Auto, 125, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200) when shooting in Program Auto Mode to adjust sensitivity to your shooting conditions. Includes Sony® PMB (Picture Motion Browser) Software ver. 5.3¹ Sony Picture Motion Browser software offers a simple, intuitive way to transfer, sort, and view your video and still images on your compatible PC. In addition, multiple output options let you burn your memories to DVD (sold separately), as well as take advantage of one click upload to a number of popular video and photo sharing sites.¹ Carl Zeiss® Vario-Tessar® Lens with 26mm equivalent wide 4x Optical Zoom The high-performance Carl Zeiss® Vario-Tessar® 4x optical zoom lens brings distant subjects closer for video recording as well as for outdoor, sports, and travel photos, and Close Focus shoots close-ups within a ½” of the subject. A wide angle of 26mm equivalent wide-angle lens allows you to take wider shots of the scene or group in crowded spaces. Intelligent Auto Mode Unlike traditional auto mode, Intelligent Auto (iAuto) mode thinks for you, recognizing scenes, lighting conditions, faces, and adjusts settings resulting in clear images, faces with natural skin tone and less blur. Take advantage of all the technology without leaving Auto mode. Kids on the playground, landscape shots, a beautiful flower or an indoor birthday party; all result in clear images without leaving auto mode. 480p AVI VGA Movie Mode In 480p AVI movie mode the camera shoots 640 x 480 movies at 30 fps, the standard format when working with a PC. Users will create movies in files small enough to transfer to a compatible PC or Mac® computer and connected to the internet.³ Once transferred to your computer effortlessly upload media to popular photo and video-sharing websites such as Photobucket® and YouTube?. Self-Portrait Timer Self-Portrait Timer helps take the guesswork out of self portraits by utilizing Face Detection technology to recognize when your face enters the frame. Once the camera detects your face, it triggers a 2-second timer, and then snaps a picture. Intelligent Scene Recognition (iSCN) Mode Intelligent Scene Recognition (iSCN) Mode automatically detects eight different types of scenes and, within just 1/30th of a second, selects the appropriate camera settings: Backlight, Backlight Portrait, Twilight, Twilight Portrait, Twilight using a tripod, Portrait, Landscape and macro. iSCN has two modes: Auto and Advanced. In Auto Mode, the camera takes a single shot using the optimal settings. In Advanced Mode, the camera takes a photo with the optimal settings and, if in difficult lighting (low light or back light) immediately takes a second photo with another optimized setting so you can choose which to keep. In-Camera Retouching Tools Retouch and enhance your photos on the go with in-camera Trimming, Red-Eye Correction, and Unsharp Masking functions. 2.7” (230K dots) Clear Photo LCD™ display Generous 2.7” (230K dots) Clear Photo LCD™ displayfeatures sharp, natural color that makes it easy to compose shots, read menus, and view photos, even inbright sunlight. SteadyShot® image stabilization SteadyShot® image stabilization compensates for camera shake and helps prevent blur through use of digital processing technologies. Smile Shutter™ technology Smile Shutter™ technology captures a smile the moment it happens. Simply press the Smile Shutter™ button and the camera does the rest. You can also select adult and child priority and indicate the degree of Smile Detection sensitivity. Intelligent Scene Recognition can now be used together with Smile Shutter™ mode when the Intelligent Auto mode is on. This means that beautiful smiles can be captured with settings optimized for the particular scene, even in difficult conditions such as twilight and backlighting. Natural Flash Conventional point-and-shoot camera flash shots just don't capture colors the way the eye sees them. Natural Flash mode takes a reference shot without flash and then uses that reference to correct the color, for far more lifelike images. Dynamic Range Optimizer Standard and Plus Dynamic Range Optimizer (DRO) Standard and Plus uses a sophisticated algorithm to help recover shadows and highlights. The result is more natural images with clearer details that more closely match what your naked eye sees. DRO is particularly effective when shooting backlit portraits or any scene with a dramatic contrast between background and foreground lighting. DRO Plus allows for even greater optimization by analyzing each region of an image and performing additional image processing. Easy Shooting Mode With Easy Shooting Mode, even beginners can take great photos. In Easy Shooting Mode, easy-to-understand basic instructions are displayed on the LCD screen and the camera switches to all automatic settings, removing several function choices and allowing you to focus on just your subject. Since this mode works together with Intelligent Scene Recognition, the camera selects the optimum setting for each scene. In addition the easy mode simplifies preview mode.
