Fast-moving subjects are not a problem since the camera can capture 10 frames-per-second. This, along with
Motion Detection that adjusts ISO sensitivity and increases the shutter speed when motion is detected, will
help ensure that you capture the decisive moment. To really see your subject in motion, the camera can shoot
1080i AVCHD HD movies. Both stills and video are composed and viewed on the 3" Xtra Fine LCD display. Even
when shooting in a tight space, the 25mm wide-angle Sony G 10X zoom lens will let you get your shot.
You can record the location of your photo shoots with the integrated GPS receiver and compass. Then you can
view your images on a map with compatible computer and internet applications. Other user friendly features
include Intelligent Sweep Panorama, Face Detection, Smile Shutter, Anti-blink, iAudio and many more. The DSCHX5V certainly is an extremely functional camera in a small package.

2. 10x (25mm equivalent) Professional-Quality Optical Zoom G-Lens :
Sony G lenses are used in top-of-the line digital single lens reflex (DSLR) cameras and advanced pro-sumer HD
Camcorders. Capture the action up close with the 10x optical zoom, and with its 25mm equivalent wide-angle
capability, the camera allows you to capture large area images.
Intelligent AF
Thanks to Intelligent AF technology, capture fleeting moments like a child's adorable expression with the ultraquick AF which locks focus in as little as 0.3 sec.
Optical SteadyShot Image Stabilization
Optical SteadyShot image stabilization uses a built-in gyro sensor to detect camera shake and automatically
shifts the lens to help prevent blur without sacrificing image quality.
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-HX5V captures six images in a fraction of a second with a higher shutter speed. It then combines the
data from all six to create a single image of extraordinary detail and clarity, a function which is 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 DSCHX5V 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, you can capture images
in low light without flash beyond the capability of traditional cameras.
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.
Scene Modes
The DSC-HX5V features 11 convenient scene modes: High Sensitivity, Twilight, Twilight Portrait, Soft Snap,
Landscape, Beach, Snow, Fireworks, Advanced Sports Shooting, Gourmet, and Pet
.
GPS and Compass
An integrated GPS receiver and compass record the location and direction of every shot you take and let you
view your images on a map with compatible computer and internet applications, so you can remember where
you took your favorite shots.
Transfer Jet Technology
Transfer Jet technology, developed by Sony and advanced and promoted by consortium of 18 other companies,
allows you to transfer up to ten files between two Transfer Jet enabled devices just by touching them together,
without the hassle of hunting for cables or the complication of pairing.
Backlight Correction HDR
Shooting high-contrast scenes can often lead to washed out backgrounds 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.
Easy Shooting Mode

3. 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
Shooting Mode simplifies Preview Mode.
Intelligent (iAuto) Auto Mode
Unlike traditional auto mode, Intelligent Auto (iAuto) mode thinks for you by recognizing scenes, lighting
conditions, faces, and adjusts the settings produce clear images and faces with natural skin tone and less blur.
Take advantage of all the technology without leaving Auto mode. From images of a kid on the playground, to
landscape shots, to a beautiful flower or an indoor birthday party and get clear images without leaving Auto
mode.
Intelligent Sweep Panorama Mode
Capture expansive landscapes with Intelligent Sweep Panorama Mode. Press the shutter and sweep and the
camera does the rest, continuously shooting images and stitching them together almost immediately. This
model even detects faces and moving subjects and stitches different widths intelligently to help avoid subject
distortion.
Face Detection Technology
Face Detection technology detects up to 8 individual faces and adjusts focus, exposure, and flash to help
deliver crisp, properly lit images of family and friends.
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.
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. 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.
Anti-Blink Function
It's frustrating to think you've captured that perfect shot, only to 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.
