Sony DSC-TX7 Highlights

10.2-megapixel Back-illuminated "Exmor R" CMOS image sensor
The DSC-TX7 features a 10.2 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

sensor and BIONZ image processor delivers extremely fast 10fps, Anti
Motion Blur, Hand-held Twilight and 1080i movie modes.



Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens with 25mm 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 up
to just under ½" from the subject. A wide angle of 25mm equivalent
wide-angle lens allows you to take wider shots of the scene or group in
crowded spaces.

3.5-inch Xtra Fine LCD touch screen display w/TruBlack technology
A large 3.5-inch Xtra Fine LCD touch screen display1 w/TruBlack
technology (921K pixels), the largest of Sony's Cyber-shot DSC line
makes it easy for viewing and sharing images with simple and fun touch
screen operation. With its Ultra AR film coating, which reduces
reflections and increases contrast and brightness, viewing images on
the LCD even in bright light is possible.

Easy Touch Screen Interaction
The DSC-TX7 offers intuitive functions to the multi-purpose touch
screen, such as the ability to select the focus point with a simple
touch, scroll through images by sliding your finger across the screen

Anti-Motion Blur Mode
Capture cleaner and sharper images in low light for non landscape
shots. When set in Anti-motion Blur Mode, the DSC-TX7 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 dramatically reduce subject blur, beyond the capability of
traditional cameras.

Handheld Twilight
Capture
cleaner and sharper night shots without using a tripod. When set to
Handheld Twilight Mode, the DSC-TX7 captures six images in a fraction
of a second with one press of the shutter, and combines the data from

With these modes, you can capture images in low light, without flash,
beyond the capability of traditional cameras.

Intelligent Sweep Panorama Mode

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.



Backlight Correction HDR

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.

High-speed shooting
The DSC-TX7 can capture full 10.2-megapixel resolution images at up to

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.

review it later and discover one of your subjects blinked just as you
pressed the shutter. When the camera is set to Soft Snap, the
Anti-blink function captures two images, recording only the photo with
less squinting or blinking. If a blink is detected in other shooting
modes, a warning will be displayed after you take the shot.

Optical SteadyShot image stabilization

detect camera shake and automatically shifts the lens to help prevent
blur without sacrificing image quality.

indoors or in low light without the need for a flash. In addition to

Mode to adjust sensitivity to your shooting conditions.

children and adults. Face Detection technology detects up to eight
individual faces and adjusts flash, focus, exposure, and white balance
to help deliver crisp, properly lit images of family and friends.
