    The smallest 30x optical zoom camera

    The HX50 is the world’s smallest compact camera with 30x optical zoom, GPS and image stabilisation - so you can travel light and get close to the action.

    Get super close with a 30x zoom
    A 30x optical zoom plus 60x Clear Image digital zoom lets you capture the most distant details. The BIONZ processor reduces graininess for high quality close-ups.

    Experience 20.4 megapixels of detail
    Take a photo with detail, colour and life. Zoom right in without sacrificing any of the detail with a 20.4MP Exmor R™ CMOS sensor and powerful BIONZ processor.

    Focus super fast
    From close-ups to twilight portraits, focus is adjusted automatically, so you can quickly and easily get the shot you want.

    Hold super steady
    The freedom to shoot crystal-clear pictures on-the-fly and without a tripod. Optical SteadyShot dynamically counters movements, even at zoom, to keep the picture in focus.

    You're in control
    With mode and exposure compensation dials, you can select aperture or shutter priority and change exposure values to you satisfaction.

    Share a great shot instantly
    With built-in Wi-Fi you can send photos and videos right to your smartphone, back-up shots wirelessly to your PC, or see them on your TV.

    Connect to a Multi Interface Shoe
    The HX50 is pocket-sized but has pro-style features. A Multi Interface Shoe lets you add a flash, viewfinder or microphone.

    Get 30x closer
    With the smallest digital camera that has 30x optical zoom capability.

    Capture 20.4 megapixel detail
    Shoot detail-packed stills and movies with a 20.4 megapixel Exmor R™ CMOS sensor.

    Don’t worry about unsteady hands
    Take crisp, blur-free still photos with Optical SteadyShot that cuts handheld wobbles when you’re zoomed in or don’t have a tripod.

    Shoot high quality pictures quickly
    A BIONZ processor delivers high-speed continuous shooting at 10 frames per second and finely detailed image quality.

    Easy sharing with Wi-Fi
    Send photos and videos straight to a smartphone or tablet, back-up shots wirelessly to your PC, or see them on your TV.

    See clearly even at high zoom
    A G Lens from Sony is crafted to capture light and detail, even when zoomed right in.

    Add all the extras
    Use the Multi Interface Shoe to add a flash, electronic viewfinder or microphone.

    Double the distance
    Double the 30x optical zoom range to an effective 60x with Clear Image Zoom, filling the frame with distant subjects while maintaining image quality.

    Shoot Full HD movies
    Film smooth, steady 50p video clips in Full HD.

    Change your exposure
    With an EV dial capability you can change exposure values manually.

    Fine tune every shot
    You can select between shutter or aperture priority, or pre-set your own shooting modes.

    Shoot for longer
    A long-life battery lets you shoot from dusk until dawn.

    Movies without the shakes
    Even when you’re walking or zooming Optical SteadyShot Active Mode keeps everything stable.

    Lock on fast even at zoom
    Frame your subject quickly with fast autofocus which brings everything sharply into focus even at a distance.

    See colours deeper and brighter
    With Triluminos colour technology every shade and hue becomes brighter and deeper when viewed on a BRAVIA® TV with Triluminos display.

    Artistic effects
    Create 'in camera' effects, including Toy Camera, Partial Colour, Pop Colour, HDR Painting, Illustration and Watercolour.

    Create wide panoramic pictures
    Intelligent Sweep Panorama automatically combines a burst of images to create panoramic pictures

    Be in the shot
    When the camera is held at arm's length, the camera frames and takes pictures automatically for great self portraits.

    Boost your flash photography
    Advanced Flash brightens up dim scenes, lighting up subjects who are further away from the camera.

    Grab stills from video playback
    Press the shutter button and capture high resolution still photos during video recording.
