The powerful Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX500 is an ultra-compact camera featuring the newly-developed far-reaching performance of a Zeiss 30x optical zoom lens, plus five-axis optical image stabilisation to keep your images blur free, built-in Wi-Fi/NFC connectivity so you can easily share your shots and movies, and an 8.2MP BSI CMOS sensor combined with Sony's BIONZ X processor to produce fantastic-quality image and video. With a host of intuitive features, create high-quality images and film all in the lightweight design of the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX500.
High-quality images - the 30x zoom Zeiss quality 24-720mm (35mm equiv.) lens renders portrait, close-up, and landscape images in natural glory from every perspective, with vivid sharpness and contrast intact. It also features multi-layer anti-reflective coating that effectively eliminates surface ghosting and flare. Plus the high-resolution LCD on the camera back can be tilted up to 180 degrees, meaning that when you're in front of the camera you can easily view the LCD to check the framing before you shoot, making selfies and group shots a breeze!
Easily share experiences - the fast, built-in NFC (Near Field Communication) connection simplifies sharing, allowing you to quickly connect via Wi-Fi to Android mobile devices to send images or videos directly from your camera to the smartphones and tablets of friends and family members.
Shoot for longer - when fully charged, the lithium-ion battery provides enough power to shoot up to 400 stills or record up to 75 minutes of movie footage, meaning you won't miss out on a great photo opportunity.
Flexible HD movie formats - the new XAVC S 3 format captures movies detailing extra-smooth action and high-quality sound, and whether you’re shooting in XAVC S or high-definition AVCHD format, you can also simultaneously record another version of the same scene in a compressed, web-friendly MP4 format for convenient sharing.
Blurring be gone - Intelligent Active Mode features Sony's advanced frame-analysis technology and 5-axis 4 image stabilisation, reducing the blurriness that tends to occur in images or movies when shooting handheld or while chasing a subject in action. Plus the included Sony jacket case is slightly protruding for a firmer grip and stable handling while shooting.
Get creative - PlayMemories Camera Apps offers a growing range of easy-to-download applications, designed to give you customised functionality - including controlling the camera remotely - while Beauty Effect offers five in-camera retouching modes, to really perfect your shots.
