viewing angle delivers brilliant-quality still images and movies
while enabling easy focusing operation. The new reinforced-glass
touch screen gives the camera a sturdy feeling and prevents color
bleed during touch operations.
Background Defocus
DSLR photographs are often beautiful because they blur the
background, putting the emphasis on your subject. Now our
point-and-shoot cameras can deliver this signature DSLR benefit.
The system takes two s, identifies the background and applies
a defocused background keeping the subject crisp and clear.
Clear image digital zoom
Clear image digital zoom maintains high-resolution feel that is
as precise as optical zoom and vastly expands the zoom range
without lowering visible quality or pixel count in the final
image.
Picture Effect for more expressive photos
Picture Effect adds a new level of expression to photos, making
ordinary landscapes and portraits come to life by heightening
mood and emphasizing certain attributes. Seven effects give free
reign to your imagination to expand creative horizons. HDR
Painting creates a rich painted look. Rich-tone Monochrome
produces an artistic black and white image. Miniature transforms
mundane landscapes into fascinating works of art. Toy camera
transitions an ordinary photo into one with high contrast, tunnel
view, and four color shifts. Partial color results in a stunning
monochrome photo containing a single designated color. High-key
creates photos with heightened brightness for a soft clean look.
Intelligent Sweep Panorama HR mode
With Intelligent Sweep Panorama HR mode just press the shutter,
pan the landscape and let the camera do the rest. It
automatically links together each frame to produce a high
resolution panoramic image providing the ability to zoom in on
small details. This model even detects faces and moving subjects
to stitch intelligently different widths to help avoid subject
distortion.
High speed shooting
The DSC-TX55 can capture full 16.2 megapixel resolution images
at up to 10 frames per second, helping to ensure that the
decisive moment is captured such as the soccer ball flying into
the goal. In addition, the DSC-TX55 employs a mechanical shutter
that helps reduce distortion when continuously shooting moving
subjects.
Soft Skin mode
Portrait subjects will love the results. Soft Skin mode
recognizes skin tones and reduces the appearance of blemishes and
s without affecting the rest of the .
Natural Flash Conventional point-and-shoot camera flash s
just don't capture colors the way the eye sees them. Natural
Flash mode takes a reference without flash and then uses
that reference to correct the color, for far more lifelike
images.
Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar Lens with 25mm equivalent wide angle 5x
Optical Zoom
The high-performance Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar 5x optical zoom
lens brings distant subjects closer for video as well
as for outdoor, sports, and travel photos, and Close Focus shoots
close-ups within a ½" of the subject. A 25mm equivalent
wide-angle lens allows you to take wider s of the scene or
group in crowded spaces.
Backlight Correction HDR
Don't miss a single detail in high contrast s. The built in
backlight correction analyzes the image and automatically adjusts
accordingly to give you a perfectly lit .
HDMI output

audio/video connector interface for transmitting uncompressed
digital streams. HDMI connects digital audio/video sources such

computer, a video game console, or an AV receiver to a compatible
digital audio device and/or video monitor such as a digital

degree of Smile Detection sensitivity. Intelligent Scene
Re can be used together with Smile Shutter mode. This
means that beautiful smiles can be captured with settings
optimized for the particular scene, even in difficult conditions
such as twilight and backlighting.
Face Detection technology
Sony's Face Detection technology can automatically distinguish
between 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.
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.
Anti-blink Function
It's frustrating to capture the perfect , only to review it
later and discover subjects blinked during the photo. When the
camera is set to Soft Snap, the Anti-blink function captures two
images, 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 .
Sweep Multi Angle mode
In Sweep Multi Angle mode, the camera takes 15 images at
different angles as it sweeps across the scene. By tilting the
camera during playback, the camera's Gyro Sensor detects motion
and displays the image in a 3D-like view on the camera's LCD.
