Shoot Clear And Sharp Pictures Even In Low Light

Optical SteadyShot helps you get sharper images by reducing the effects of camera shake. The first of its kind, Cyber-shot HX300 features a newly-enhanced Optical SteadyShot which has a second lens-group shift. A clever mechanism detects the smallest hand tremors, and then adjusts the position of a second group of zoom lenses to compensate. This results in easier composition and clearer photos, even at high zoom settings.
Automatically Selects The Best Shooting Mode

Superior Auto combines Scene Recognition and high-quality image technology to automatically select one of 14 shooting settings. It has been newly improved to support scenes with dynamic motion, so you can capture beautiful shots even in the midst of action.
