Sony’s original By Pixel Super Resolution technology assists Cyber-shot in zooming up to 10x* without decreasing pixel count, giving photos a crisp, high-resolution feel that is nearly identical to optical zoom. Cyber-shot first zooms optically to the maximum optical magnification, then employs By Pixel Super Resolution technology to enlarge the image an additional 2x, producing sharp, clear images despite the increased zoom ratio. And by combining this function with digital zoom, up to 20x zoom* can be achieved.
* In the 16MP setting for still images only.
