Features

30x optical zoom ZEISS® lens plus 60x Clear Image Digital Zoom

Get super close and clear with the premium ZEISS® Vario-Sonnar T* lens from wide angle (24mm

equivalent) to 30x optical zoom plus 60x Clear Image digital zoom. The ZEISS T* coating reduces

undesirable reflection, such as ghosting and flare, on the lens surface, while 30x optical zoom allows you

to get closer to your subject. With Clear Image Zoom the powerful BIONZ® X processor compares patterns

found in adjacent pixels and creates new pixels to match selected patterns, resulting in more realistic,

higher-quality images. Clear Image Zoom doubles optical zoom for closer photos.

Superb 18.2MP image quality

The DSC-HX80 features an 18.2 megapixel backside illuminated Exmor R® CMOS image sensor with a

BIONZ® X image processor. This brings out the full resolving power of the camera’s professional ZEISS®

Vario-Sonnar T* Lens to deliver high resolution, and stunning low-light sensitivity with improved image

clarity and drastically reduced grain for both stills and movie.

Built-in retractable OLED Tru-Finder™ viewfinder

View every scene in rich detail with the high contrast and bright, pop-up OLED Tru-Finder™ with approx.

638k dots resolution. The electronic viewfinder faithfully displays what will appear in your recording,

including the effects of your camera settings, so you can accurately monitor the results. Use of aspherical

lenses in the eyepiece optics raises performance and minimizes size, while a convenient eye sensor

automatically switches between EVF and LCD screen, for easy operation.

High-zoom Point and Shoot Camera

DSC-HX80

Get sharp detail up close with the world’s smallest and lightest5 30x zoom

camera. There's even a pop-up electronic viewfinder for eye-level framing and a

180° tilt screen for 18.2MP selfies. Stunning picture quality comes from the low

light Exmor R

®

sensor and premium ZIESS lens with 5-axis image stabilization.

Then share photos instantly with built-in Wi-Fi2 and NFC3.

High-quality movies1 w/ XAVC S, AVCHD and MP4 codes

Capture high quality HD movies1 in the XAVC S format. With 50Mbps Full HD (1920x1080) 60p high

quality video recording, XAVC S enables beautiful video recording with minimal compression noise even

in scenes with a lot of movement. Linear PCM is adopted for audio compression delivering incredible

audio to match your video. The camera also records in AVCHD, ideal for HDTV and Blu-ray Disc™ burning,

or your choice of highly compressed MP4 HD video ideal for web.

Simple connectivity to smartphones via Wi-Fi®2 and NFC3

Wi-Fi® connectivity allows you to control your camera with your compatible Smartphone or Tablet2.

Frame your image on your device’s LCD and control the camera’s shutter. You can even transfer the

images taken directly to your mobile device for quick editing and uploading - sharing has never been

easier. With NFC3 (near field communication) - connectivity has been simplified to one-touch. Simply

touch the camera to the compatible NFC enabled device to connect.

5-axis image stabilization greatly reduces blur

Get remarkably sharp images with Sony’s Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilization for both stills and

video. Additionally, intelligent Active Mode combines 5-axis* image stabilization with Sony's advanced

frame-analysis technology to greatly reduce blur caused by camera shake when shooting movies –

allowing you to move along with the action – and get clear images of your subject in motion – even when

zoomed in.

Selfie-ready multi-angle 3" Xtra Fine LCD™ display

Selfies have never been easier with a beautiful 3” (921k dots) Xtra Fine LCD™ Display that rotates up

approx. 180°. Easily frame for selfies or to shoot objects like pets at eye-level without having to get down

on the ground. Simply scroll through menus and preview life thanks to the large display which delivers

brilliant-quality still images and movies while enabling easy focusing operation.

P/A/S/M modes, customizable settings & Memory Recall mode

For creative flexibility, you can enter Program Auto (P), Aperture Priority (A), Shutter Speed Priority (S)

or Manual Exposure (M) mode for manual shooting. MR (Memory Recall) mode is available for quick

manual adjustment and a control ring - that can be assigned with various functions - such as manual

focusing or step zooming, allow for superior control of your shooting experience.

Enhance features w/ downloadable camera apps4

Get creative with PlayMemories Camera Apps™4 by applying exciting artistic effects or retouching images

with professional results, and then easily upload your photos to Facebook® or Instagram. Enjoy added

functionality with apps that include Time Lapse, Smart Remote Control, and Direct Upload.

Capture the decisive moment with up to 10fps

Never miss that decisive moment; like a bat hitting a baseball or a fleeting smile. Capture full 18.2

megapixel resolution images at up to 10 frames per second, with an ultra-fast shutter lag of Approx. 0.008

sec.

Keep your subject in focus with Lock-On AF

Lock-On AF (Auto Focus) gives you the ability to select a focus point with subject recognition, then allows

the camera to track and keep your subject in sharp focus even when in motion.
