Description
The black Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX400V Digital Camera
is a high-zoom camera that offers ease of use akin to a point-and-shot,
but with the design and control of a DSLR. It features a 20.4MP 1/2.3″
Exmor R CMOS sensor and a BIONZ X Image Processor for notable low light
performance, as well as a 50x optical zoom Carl Zeiss Vario Sonnar T
lens with a 100x Clear Image Zoom. A 4.3-215mm focal length with a 35mm
equivalent of 24-1200mm allows this lens significant wide-angle and
considerable telephoto shooting abilities. It also features a wide 2.8
aperture, which is especially useful in low-light as it allows for
brighter images.
A 3″ Xtra Fine 921k-dot tilting LCD monitor as well as an electronic
eye-level viewfinder allow you to view and compose high-quality images.
Capture full HD 1080p AVCHD video at 60p and 24p and use the optical
SteadyShot Image Stabilization to compensate for camera shake in order
to provide clearer images. This is especially useful in low light and
when using the longer focal lengths. For sports photography and during
motion-filled photo capturing moments, the HX400V features 10 frames per
second continuous shooting at the full 20.4MP resolution, which ensures
sharp, clear images that are less likely to be missed.
To capture a wide area all in one photo, Intelligent Sweep Panorama
utilizes motion compensation while shooting panoramas in order to reduce
the blur created by moving figures in the foreground. For easy
uploading after a long day of shooting, a built-in Wi-Fi allows you to
instantly share what you have created with your family and friends.
20.4MP Exmor R CMOS Sensor & BIONZ X Image Processor
Captures high definition images with sharp details and
minimal noise, even in low light; offers fast performance and buffering
speeds.
50x Optical Zoom Zeiss Lens & 100x Clear Image Zoom
A Carl Zeiss lens with 50x optical zoom capability offers a
considerable expanse of reach from wide-angle to super-telephoto. This
zoom range can effectively be doubled, too, using the 100x Clear Image
Zoom that employs an intelligent interpolation algorithm to increase
zoom magnification with minimal image quality loss.
3″ Xtra Fine 921k-Dot LCD Monitor & Eye-Level Viewfinder
Still photos and videos can be clearly displayed on the 3″
Xtra Fine tilting LCD monitor with 921k-dot resolution and an available
histogram. Additionally, you can manually adjust the brightness level by
5 steps allowing you to compose and view your images in any lighting
situation. For extra shooting stability, an electronic viewfinder is
also provided for eye-level composition. It allows for magnifications of
8.1x and 16.2x and becomes useful for viewing and composing shots in
extreme sunlight.
Optical SteadyShot Image Stabilization with Intelligent Active Mode
Optical SteadyShot image stabilization offers compensation
to reduce the blurring effects of camera movement when shooting at
slower shutter speeds. This is particularly effective when shooting in
low light or at longer focal lengths. Sony’s Intelligent Active Mode
image stabilization combines electronic and optical stabilization for
less blurring while shooting videos when moving.
Full 1080p AVCHD Video Capture
You can capture full 1080p AVCHD videos with stereo sound at
60p, and 24p for a film look. SteadyShot Active Mode offers image
stabilization for video that will smooth out clips shot while moving,
and a dedicated video record button allows you to start shooting
immediately.
Fast 10fps Continuous Burst Shooting & Lock-On AF
Ideal for sports photography, the HX400V can shoot up to 10
frames per second in full 20.4MP resolution, and has Lock-On AF, which
provides the ability to focus on multiple points with subject
recognition to keep your subject in sharp focus even when in motion.
Intelligent Sweep Panorama 360˚
Intelligent Sweep Panorama mode takes Sony’s Sweep Panorama
function to the next level with the addition of motion compensation.
Even when subjects are moving in the foreground of your landscape, these
cameras can detect faces and moving subjects, intelligently stitching
different widths together to minimize distortion. 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 format and up to 360° full
circle.
Superior Auto
This enables the camera to select optimal settings based on
scene recognition and provides crisp, beautiful results even in
low-light situations.
Manual Exposure Control
Manual control of aperture, shutter speed and ISO is offered with P/A/S/M modes.
Motion Shot Video
For a unique visual effect, use the Motion Shot Video to
trace subject movement on the LCD. This playback function allows you to
study form and pathways of moving subjects right on your camera.
Face Detection, Tracking Focus & Smile Shutter
Face Detection allows you to take better portraits and group
shots. It recognizes up to 8 faces within your image and adjusts the
camera for optimal exposure of faces. Tracking Focus makes it easier to
capture clear shots of moving subjects by having the focus automatically
adjust while you follow the action with the camera, and Smile Shutter
Technology helps you get the best shot by recognizing when is the best
moment to release the shutter.
Built-In Wi-Fi Connectivity & NFC
Wi-Fi lets you quickly upload photos and videos to social
media sites through your smartphone or tablet, back them up on your
network-connected computer, or view them on a wireless-enabled HDTV.
When transferring images to Android smartphones or tablets, the camera
also supports NFC, or Near Field Communication, providing a simple, “one
touch connection” requiring you to merely touch the devices to connect.
Built-In Flash & Multi Interface Hot Shoe
A built-in manual pop-up flash offers available flash modes
such as Auto, Fill-flash, Off, Slow-Sync, Advanced Flash and Rear Sync,
as well as a wireless mode with optional compliant external flashes,
which can also be used on the multi-interface hot shoe when you need a
flash with more range.
GPS Tagged Photos & PlayMemories Camera Apps
Map your photos and videos with location data and camera
direction with the GPS tag. GPS Log lets you track a photographic
journey and images on a map. The GPS and PlayMemories Home software
allows users to view images on a map where they can also be displayed on
Google Earth. PlayMemories allows for applying creative effects or
retouching images, which can then be easily uploaded to your social
media account. Enjoy various Apps including Time Lapse, Smart Remote
Control, and Direct Upload.
