Superior Auto
The camera combines Scene Recognition and high-quality image technology to automatically
shoot the images with the optimal settings.
1. Set to the shooting mode.
2. (REC Mode) (Superior Auto).
3. Shoot with the shutter button.
The camera shoots burst images when needed and overlays multiple images. By overlaying
the images, the camera records an image with less subject blur and noise.
What is the difference between Superior Auto mode and Intelligent Auto
mode?
In Superior Auto mode, the camera shoots burst images based on the recognized scene, then
creates a composite of the burst images (Overlay shooting).
The camera automatically corrects the backlight and reduces noise by overlaying images, so a
higher-quality image than in Intelligent Auto mode.

successful.
Under lights that flicker, such as fluorescent lights, the brightness or color of the combined
images may not be consistent.
When the whole angle of panoramic shooting and the AE/AF locked angle are very different

Tracking focus
The camera tracks the subject and adjusts focus automatically until you press the shutter button
halfway down, even if the subject is moving (Tracking focus). Press the shutter button halfway
down, the position of the subject, focus and exposure are locked.
Touch to cancel the focus.
Registering the priority face (Selected-face Memory)
If you use the tracking focus function while the Face Detection function is activated, you can
select a face to be given priority and register that face with the camera. Even if the
registered face disappears from the screen, when it shows up on the screen again, the
camera focuses on the registered face.
When a specified face is registered in the camera memory and you use the Smile Shutter
function, the camera searches only for that face’s smile.
Notes
Tracking focus may fail to lock the focus, lose the subject or track different subject in the
following situations:
The subject moves too quickly.
The subject is too small or too large.
The subject is the same color as the background.
Under low light conditions.
Under conditions where the brightness varies.
When you use the Digital Zoom, the tracking focus function is not available.
Tracking focus will automatically be canceled when the subject disappears from the screen
or has failed to be tracked. However, if the target of the tracking focus is a specified face,
the camera keeps tracking on that face even if the face disappears from the screen.
This function cannot be used underwater shooting. (DSC-TX10)
You may not be able to set some functions depending on the selected REC mode. For
details, see “Functions not available in some REC modes.” [Details]

3D Sweep Panorama
Multiple images are shot while the camera is moving, and these images are compiled into a 3D
image. The recorded image can be played back on a 3D TV.
1. (REC Mode) (3D Shooting) (3D Sweep Panorama)
2. Align the camera with the end of the subject to be shot and press the shutter button.
A black, translucent portion (A) appears before shooting. That part will not be recorded.
In (3D Sweep Panorama), you can change the shooting direction by touching (B).
3. Pan the camera to the end of the guide (C), following the indication on the screen.
Tips for shooting in 3D Sweep Panorama mode
To take 3D images correctly, sweep the camera slowly. (Aim for a 5-second semicircle.)
If you are sweeping too quickly or too slowly, a message will be displayed on the screen.
We recommend that you practice it several times before shooting.
Subjects at rest are best suited for 3D shots.
Determine the scene and press the shutter button halfway, so that you can lock the focus,
exposure and white balance. Then, press the shutter button fully down and pan the camera.
89
Notes
3D shooting is not suitable for the following situations:
When there is a large subject
Moving subjects
When the main subject is too close to the camera
Images with little contrast, such as the sky, a sandy beach, or lawn
3D images consist of a JPEG file and an MPO file. If either file is deleted on your computer,
the camera may not operate correctly.
If you cannot pan the camera across the entire subject within the given time, a gray area
occurs in the composite image. If this happens, move the camera faster to record a full 3D
image.
Since several images are stitched together, the stitched part will not be recorded smoothly.
Under low light conditions, the images may be blurred. It is recommended that you shoot
images in bright outside light.
Under lights that flicker, such as fluorescent lights, the 3D shot may not be successful.
If the entire angle of view of the 3D shot and the angle of view when the AE/AF was locked
are extremely different in brightness, color or focus, the shot will not be successful. If this
happens, change the location of the AE/AF lock and try again.
3D shooting may be canceled in the following situations:
You pan the camera too quickly or too slowly.
There is too much camera shake.
This function is not suited to underwater shooting. (DSC-TX10)

Image size when shooting Sweep Panorama / Underwater iSweep Panorama (DSC-TX10)
The image size determines the size of the image file that is recorded when you take an image.
The larger the image size, the more detail will be reproduced when the image is printed on large-
format paper. The smaller the image size, the more images can be recorded.
On “image quality” and “image size”
A digital image is made up of a collection of small dots called pixels. If it contains a large
number of pixels (A), the image becomes large, it takes up more memory, and the image is
displayed in fine detail. “Image size” is shown by the number of pixels. Although you cannot see
the differences on the screen of the camera, the fine detail and data processing time differ
when the image is printed or displayed on a computer screen.
Image size: 16M
4608 pixels × 3456 pixels = 15,925,248 pixels

appears in a dotted line. In this case, the camera works to focus on the subjects at the
center of the screen.
When the focus mode is set to other than [Multi AF], you cannot use the Face Detection
function.
If Tracking focus is activated, the camera focuses with priority on the subject to be tracked.
You may not be able to set some MENU items depending on the selected REC mode. For
details, see “MENU items not available in some REC modes.” [Details]
Quickly choosing the priority subject
Touching the screen displays a frame, and then pressing the shutter button halfway down
brings the frame into focus. Touch
to release the focus.
Focusing on subjects near the edge of the screen
If the subject is out of focus, do as follows:
1. Recompose the shot so that the subject is centered in the AF range finder (A), and press
the shutter button halfway to focus on the subject (AF lock).
2. When the AE/AF lock indicator (B) stops flashing and remains on, return to the fully
composed shot, and press the shutter button fully down.
As long as you do not press the shutter button fully down, you can retry the procedure as
many times as necessary.

Receiving images using TransferJet
Using separately sold TransferJet-compatible devices
TransferJet is a close-up, wireless transfer technology that allows data to be transferred by
closely aligning two products that you want to communicate with each other.
To find out whether your camera is equipped with the TransferJet function, check for the

2. Press the
(Playback) button to switch to playback mode.

(TransferJet) marks are aligned with both
cameras parallel to each other as shown in the figure.

When the Face Detection function is activated, the flash strobes automatically to
reduce the red-eye phenomenon.
On The flash always strobes to reduce the red-eye phenomenon.
Off Does not use Red Eye Reduction.
What causes the red-eye phenomenon?
Pupils become dilated in dark environments. Flash light is reflected off the blood vessels at the
back of the eye (retina) (A), causing the “red-eye” phenomenon.
Other ways to reduce red-eye
Select (High Sensitivity) mode in Scene Selection. (The flash is set to [Off]
automatically.)
When the eyes of the subject turn out red, correct the image with [Retouch] [Red Eye
Correction] on the viewing menu or with the supplied software “PMB”.
Notes
To avoid blurring of images, hold the camera firmly until the shutter is released. It usually
takes a second until the shutter is released, and also be sure not to allow the subject to
move during this period.
Red Eye Reduction may not produce the desired effects. It depends on individual
differences and conditions, such as distance to the subject, or if the subject looked away
from the pre-strobe.
If you do not use the Face Detection function, Red Eye Reduction does not work, even
when you select [Auto].

charge. Fully discharge the battery pack once, then charge it to correct the indication. The
remaining charge indicator may not be correct under certain circumstances.
Battery capacity decreases over time and through repeated use. If decreased usage time
between charges becomes significant, it is probably time to replace it with a new one.

GPS (DSC-TX100V only)
The camera is not receiving a GPS signal.
Set [GPS setting] to [On]. [Details]
Your camera may not be able to receive radio signals from GPS satellites because of
obstructions.
To triangulate the location information correctly, bring your camera to an open area, and turn
on the camera again.
Excessive error in location information.
The margin of error can be up to several-hundred meters depending on surrounding
buildings, GPS signal strength, etc.
It takes time to triangulate although [GPS assist data] is taken in.
[Date & Time Setting] is not set, or set time is shifted greatly. Set the date and time correctly.
[Details]
The term of validity of assist data has expired. Update [GPS assist data]. [Details]
As the positions of GPS satellites vary constantly, it may take longer to determine the location
or the receiver may not be able to determine the location at all, depending on the location and
time you use the camera.
“GPS” is a system for determining geographic location by triangulating radio signals from GPS
satellites. Avoid using the camera in places where radio signals are blocked or reflected, such
as a shadowy place surrounded by buildings or trees, etc. Use the camera in open sky
environments.
The location or direction information has not been recorded.
The shooting direction is not recorded when shooting movies.
Use “PMB” to import movies with GPS location information to your computer.
Excessive error in compass information

Do not watch 3D images shot with this camera for extended periods of time on 3D-compliant
monitors.
When you view 3D images shot with this camera on a 3D-compliant monitors, you may
experience discomfort in the form of eye strain, fatigue, or nausea. To prevent these
symptoms, we recommend that you take regular breaks.
However, you need to determine for yourself the length and frequency of breaks you require,
as they vary according to the individual. If you experience any type of discomfort, stop viewing
the 3D images until you feel better, and consult a physician as necessary. Also, refer to the
operating instructions supplied with the device or software you have connected or are using
with this camera.
Note that a child’s eyesight is still at the development stage (particularly children below the
age of 6). Consult a pediatrician or ophthalmologist before letting your child view 3D images,
and make sure he/she observes the above precautions when viewing such images.
On image data compatibility
The camera conforms with DCF (Design rule for Camera File system) universal standard
established by JEITA (Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association).
Sony does not guarantee that the camera will play back images recorded or edited with other
equipment, or that other equipment will play back images recorded with the camera.
Notes when playing movies on other devices
This camera uses MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 High Profile for AVCHD format recording. Movies
recorded in AVCHD format with this camera cannot be played by the following devices.
Other devices compatible with AVCHD format that do not support High Profile
Devices incompatible with the AVCHD format
This camera also uses MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 High Profile for MP4 format recording. For this
274
reason, movies recorded in MP4 format with this camera cannot be played on devices other
than those that support MPEG-4 AVC/H.264.
You can play a high-definition image quality (HD) disc only on AVCHD format playback
devices. A DVD player or DVD recorder cannot play back a disc recorded in high-definition
image quality (HD) because they are not compliant with the AVCHD format. In addition, if you
insert a high-definition image quality (HD) disc recorded in AVCHD format into a DVD player
or DVD recorder, you may not be able to eject the disc.
Notes on the screen and lens
The screen is manufactured using extremely high-precision technology so over 99.99% of the
pixels are operational for effective use. However, some tiny black and/or bright dots (white,
red, blue or green) may appear on the screen. These dots are a normal result of the
manufacturing process and do not affect the recording.
If water droplets or other liquids splash on the screen and make it wet, immediately wipe off
the screen with a soft cloth. Leaving liquids on the screen surface can harm the quality and
cause a malfunction. (DSC-TX100 / TX100V)
Exposing the screen or the lens to direct sunlight for long periods may cause malfunctions.
Be careful when placing the camera near a window or outdoors.
Do not press against the screen. The screen may be discolored a malfunction may result.
Images may trail across on the screen in a cold location. This is not a malfunction.
Be careful not to bump the lens, and be careful not to apply force to it.

On the internal rechargeable backup battery
This camera has an internal rechargeable battery for maintaining the date and time and other
settings regardless of whether the power is on or off.
This rechargeable battery is continually charged as long as you are using the camera. However, if
you use the camera for only short periods, it discharges gradually, and if you do not use the
camera at all for about one month it becomes completely discharged. In this case, be sure to
charge this rechargeable battery before using the camera.
However, even if this rechargeable battery is not charged, you can still use the camera, but the
date and time will not be indicated.
Charging method of the internal rechargeable backup battery
Insert a charged battery pack in the camera, and then leave the camera for 24 hours or more
with the power off.

On charging the battery pack
Effective use of the battery pack
Remaining battery charge
How to store the battery pack
On battery life
Compatible battery pack
On charging the battery pack
Charge the battery pack (supplied) before using the camera for the first time.
You can charge the battery pack even if it is not completely discharged. In addition, even if
the battery pack is not fully charged, you can use the partially charged capacity of the battery
pack as is.
We recommend charging the battery pack in an ambient temperature of between 10°C to
30°C (50°F to 86°F). The battery pack may not be effectively charged in temperatures outside
this range.
Effective use of the battery pack
Battery performance decreases in low temperature surroundings. So in cold places, the
operational time of the battery pack is shorter. We recommend the following to ensure longer
battery pack use:
Put the battery pack in a pocket close to your body to warm it up, and insert it in the
camera immediately before you start shooting.
(If there are any metal objects such as keys in your pocket, be aware of short-circuits.)
The battery pack will run out quickly if you use the flash or zoom frequently.
We recommend having spare battery packs handy for two times or three times the expected
shooting time, and making trial shots before taking the actual shots.
Do not expose the battery pack to water. The battery pack is not water-resistant.
Do not leave the battery pack in extremely hot places, such as in a car or under direct
sunlight.
You may not be able to turn on the camera or the battery pack may not be effectively charged
if the terminal section of the battery is dirty. In this case, wipe any dust with a soft cloth or a
cotton swab lightly to clean the battery.
Remaining battery charge
A remaining charge indicator appears on the screen.
A: High
B: Low
It takes about one minute until the correct remaining charge indicator appears.
277
The remaining charge indicator may not be correct under certain circumstances.
When [Power Save] is set to [Standard] or [Stamina], if you do not operate the camera for a
certain period of time while the power is on, the screen becomes dark, then the camera turns
off automatically (Auto power-off function).
How to store the battery pack
Fully discharge the battery pack before storing and store it in a cool, dry place. To maintain
the battery pack’s function, charge the battery pack and then fully discharge it on the camera
at least once a year while storing.
To use the battery pack up, leave the camera in slideshow playback mode until the power
goes off.
To prevent staining the terminal, short-circuiting, etc., be sure to use a plastic bag, etc. to
keep away from metal materials when carrying or storing.
On battery life
The battery life is limited. Battery capacity decreases over time and through repeated use. If
decreased usage time between charges becomes significant, it is probably time to replace it
with a new one.
The battery life varies according to how it is stored and the operating conditions and
environment in which each battery pack is used.
Compatible battery pack
The NP-BN1 (supplied) can be used only in N type compatible Cyber-shot models.

AC Adaptor
The supplied AC Adaptor is dedicated to this camera. Do not connect with other electronic
devices. Doing so may cause a malfunction. Also, make sure to use a genuine Sony AC
Adaptor.
If the Power/charge lamp of the camera flashes during charging, remove the battery pack
being charged, and then insert the same battery pack into this camera securely again. If the
Power/charge lamp flashes again, this may indicate a battery error or that a battery pack
other than the specified type has been inserted. Check that the battery pack is the specified
type. If the battery pack is the specified type, remove the battery pack, replace it with a new or
different one and check that the battery is charged correctly. If the battery is charged
correctly, a battery error may have occurred.
If the Power/charge lamp does not light even if the AC Adaptor is connected to the camera
and the wall outlet (wall socket), this indicates that the charging has stopped temporarily and
is on standby. Charging stops and enters standby status automatically when the temperature
is outside of the recommended operating temperature. When the temperature returns to the
appropriate range, charging resumes and the Power/charge lamp lights up again. We
recommend charging the battery pack in an ambient temperature of between 10°C to 30°C
(50°F to 86°F).
Using the supplied AC Adaptor, you can charge the battery pack inserted in the camera. In
addition, power supply via an AC Adaptor in playback mode is also available. However, in
shooting mode, power supply via an AC Adaptor is not available. You need an AC-LS5 AC
Adaptor (sold separately) and a VMC-MD3 Cable for multi-use terminals (sold separately) to
supply a power from the wall outlet (wall socket) during shooting.

Precautions / About this camera
Contents list
Top page > Precautions / About this camera > About this camera > GPS (DSC-TX100V only)
GPS (DSC-TX100V only)
This system allows you to pinpoint your exact location on the earth. GPS satellites are located in
6 orbits, 20,000 km above the earth. The GPS system consists of 24 or more GPS satellites. A
GPS receiver receives radio signals from the satellites, and calculates the current location of the
receiver based on the orbital information and travel time of the signals, etc.
Determining a location is called “triangulating”. A GPS receiver can determine the location’s
latitude and longitude by receiving signals from 3 or more satellites.
As the positions of GPS satellites vary constantly, it may take longer to determine the location
or the receiver may not be able to determine the location at all, depending on the location and
time you use the camera.
“GPS” is a system for determining geographic location by triangulating radio signals from GPS
satellites.
Avoid using the camera in places where radio signals are blocked or reflected, such as a
shadowy place surrounded by buildings or trees, etc. Use the camera in open sky
environments.
You may not be able to record location information at locations or in situations where radio
signals from the GPS satellites do not reach the camera as follows:
In tunnels, indoors or under the shade of buildings.
Between tall buildings or in narrow streets surrounded by buildings.
In underground locations, locations surrounded by dense trees, under an elevated bridge,
or in locations where magnetic fields are generated, such as near high voltage cables.
Near devices that generate radio signals of the same frequency band as the camera: near
1.5 GHz band mobile telephones, etc.
On triangulating errors
If you move to another location right after turning on the camera, it may take a longer time for
the camera to start trianguating, compared to when you stay in the same place.
Error caused by the position of GPS satellites
The camera automatically triangulates your current location when the camera receives radio
signals from 3 or more GPS satellites. The triangulating error allowed by the GPS satellites is
about 10 m (33 feet).
Depending on the environment of the location, the triangulating error can be greater. In this
case, your actual location may not match the location on the map based on the GPS
information. Meanwhile, the GPS satellites are controlled by the United States Department of
Defense, and the degree of accuracy may be changed intentionally.
Error during the triangulating process
The camera acquires location information regularly during triangulating. There is a slight time
difference between when the location information is acquired and when the location
information is recorded on an image, therefore, the actual recording location may not match
exactly the location on the map based on the GPS information.
On GPS usage restrictions on an airplane
During take off and landing of an airplane, turn off the camera, as you will be instructed to do
by the onboard announcement.
If you do not prefer to record any information, the [GPS setting] is set to [Off].
On the other restriction
Use GPS in accordance with the regulations of the place or situation.
