Sony Cyber-Shot DSC WX500
4.1 - 123 mm, 18.20 Mpx, 1/2,3''Product details
Experience the result of over 150 years of Zeiss expertise in precision optics: This 24-720mm lens delivers natural, razor-sharp images with high contrast from any perspective—whether for portrait, close-up, or landscape photography. Additionally, the Zeiss T anti-reflective multi-coating reduces ghosting effects and light reflections on the lens surface. The more light that hits a sensor, the more brilliant the images become. The 18.2-megapixel Exmor R CMOS sensor with backlighting captures four times more light than conventional sensors. It is also twice as sensitive to light and reduces image noise using Sony's A/D converter technology. With technologies for detail reproduction, diffraction reduction, and area-specific noise suppression, the Bionz X image processor converts data from the Exmor R CMOS sensor into high-resolution images. This combination allows for extremely precise and realistic shots with even more lifelike colors and textures. Thanks to the integrated NFC (Near Field Communication) technology, you can quickly establish a Wi-Fi connection with Android mobile devices. Share your favorite photos and videos in seconds by transferring them directly from the camera to the smartphones or tablets of friends and family. Plus, with PlayMemories Mobile, you can even remotely control the camera from your mobile device. The 180-degree tiltable LCD display makes for easy image composition: The high-resolution LCD display on the back of the camera can be tilted up to 180 degrees. This allows you to easily check the image composition on the LCD display, even when you are in front of the camera, before taking a selfie, for example. And for shots from a low angle, this flexible LCD display offers convenient handling and positioning.
