Key Features
------------
16.2 Megapixel Back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS Image Sensor
---------------------------------------------------------
The DSC-TX20 features a 16.2 megapixel Exmor R CMOS image sensor
that brings out the full resolving power of the camera’s Carl
Zeiss Vario-Tessar 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.
Rugged and Stylish
------------------
The DSC-TX20 is just as much at home in the water as on a night
on the town. The sleek and stylish camera fits the slimmest
pocket or purse, yet is waterproof to a depth of 16 ft,
shockproof from falls up to approximately 5 ft and dustproof
thanks to its airtight construction.5 Seamlessly shifting from
underwater marvels to a night on the town, the TX20 always makes
it easy to get the best .
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.2 With dual record of stills and movies, you can shoot
both at the same time.
Capture the decisive moment with 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 Steady with Active Mode
-----------------------------------
Optical Steady with Active Mode for blur-free movies even
while walking.4 Camera-shake compensation using Optical
Steady/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 mode3
------------------------------------------
Produce awe-inspiring images with 3D still image and 3D Sweep
Panorama capabilities.3 Photos will take on a new dimension of
creative capabilities for viewing the world in a whole new way.
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.
Background Defocus
------------------
DSLR photographs are often beautiful because they blur the
background, putting the emphasis on the subject. Now the DSC-TX20
can deliver this signature DSLR benefit. The system takes two
s, identifies the background and applies a defocused
background keeping the subject crisp and clear.
Picture Effect for more expressive photos
-----------------------------------------
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 camera models
have up to nine different effects.
Photo Creativity
----------------
Photo Creativity allows you to fine-tune your exposure settings,
such as brightness, color, and vividness, and quickly choose the
right enhancement for your subject. Now you can view Picture
Effects and Photo Creativity effects in real time on the camera’s
monitor or in the viewfinder before shooting.
Superior Auto mode
------------------
Get cleaner, more dynamic pictures and fewer missed s. The
DSC-TX20 automatically recognizes the correct scene mode, then
quickly shoots and combines up to six s to produce images
with greater clarity, optimum dynamic range using Backlight
Correction HDR technology and lower image noise using 6 s
layering technology. Superior Auto intelligently detects 36
scenes for still images and movies, making it easy to get the
best .
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.
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 andindicate
the degree of Smile Detection sensitivity. Intelligent Scene
Re 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.
Anti-blink Function
-------------------
It’s frustrating to capture the perfect , 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, only the photo with less
squinting. If a blink is detected in other shooting modes, a
warning will be displayed after you take the .
Soft Skin mode
--------------
Portrait subjects will love the results. Soft Skin mode
recognizes skin tones and reduces the appearance of blemishes and
s without affecting the rest of the .
Intelligent Scene Re (iSCN) Mode
-----------------------------------------
Intelligent Scene Re (iSCN) Mode automatically detects
36 different types of scenes and selects the appropriate camera
settings. In Auto Mode, the camera takes a single 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.
Natural Flash
-------------
Conventional point-and-shoot camera flash s just don't
capture colors the way the eye sees them. Natural Flash mode
takes a reference without flash and then uses that reference
to correct the color, for far more lifelike images.
Motion Detection
----------------
Motion Detection, along with Face Motion Detection adjusts ISO
sensitivity and increases the shutter speed when movement is
detected, reducing blur in moving subjects and faces.
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.
