*1 Optical zoom from the wide side., *2 REI=Recommended Exposure Index, *3 Achieved by using "By Pixel Super Resolution" technology and overlay burst shooting., *4 When ISO sensitivity is higher than IS0 3200, the slowest shutter speed limit is 1/4 sec. Manual setting of ISO sensitivity to lower than ISO 3200 is necessary to set shutter speed slower than 1/4. (except RX series models)., *5 You may not be able to shoot images in Burst mode depending on the Shooting mode., *6 For movies, compatible Memory Stick PRO Duo (Mark2), Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo,Memory Stick XC-HG Duo, Memory Stick Micro (Mark2), SD/SDHC/SDXC memory card or microSD/microSDHC/microSDXC card (Class 4 or faster speed is recommended) can be used. *7 with Adaptor (optional), *8 Supports Micro USB compatible device., *9 Speed will be slowing after taking some shots. *without CMOS models., *10.
