[. . . ] You can change the highlight color and peaking sensitivity level. Touch screen for easily tracking moving subjects VD-4230’s touch screen makes it easy to keep moving subjects in focus. Just enable Object Tracking, touch the subject you want focused, and the camera locks onto it for beautiful results, even if you change the composition. The direct, intuitive operation ensures crisply focused images of unpredictable subjects. Peaking function on Resulting photo 7 photography meets fun Touch Shutter function for casual, carefree shooting Touch Shutter lets you snap a photo just by touching the subject shown on the LCD screen. After touching the desired subject, the camera snaps into focus then automatically takes a perfectly focused shot. Quick access to controls for supreme ease-of-use Positioned on top of the camera for easy access, the control dial and Fn (Function) button offer a quick way to change shooting Control modes and adjust settings. [. . . ] As you apply effects, results are shown in real-time on the LCD screen*. * The following modes are not displayed in real-time and cannot be applied to movies: HDR Painting, Rich-tone Monochrome, Soft Focus and Miniature. Anti-dust system VD-4230’s advanced ultrasonic vibration system removes dust from the sensor that can cause spots on images. The system automatically activates when the camera is turned off. Anti Motion Blur Sony’s compositing technologies decrease blur when capturing scenes in which subject-motion blur can occur, such as in dimly lit settings or when shooting at telephoto focal lengths. Clear Image Zoom Digitally increase the focal length of lenses by 2x without markedly sacrificing image quality. This is like having another lens, providing extra reach when shooting distant subjects. Micro USB terminal Charge the battery without removing it from the camera. Just connect to a PC via the included micro USB cable. Auto HDR Eliminate blocked shadows and blown highlights in contrasty scenes. The camera takes three shots at different exposures then composites them for photos that closely resemble what your eyes see. Multi memory card support For added storage capability and convenience, VD-4230’s memory card slot supports a variety of media, including high-capacity Sony Memory Stick Pro-HG Duo™* and SDXC memory cards*. * Sold separately D-Range Optimizer (DRO) DRO is another way to tame contrasty scenes for more natural looking images. Unlike Auto HDR, which requires stationary subjects, DRO can be used when photographing moving subjects, even during high-speed continuous shooting. Long-life battery Shoot up to 330 images* on a single charge. The durable battery means less worry when shooting for extended periods, such as when touring or at lengthy events, and provides long movie recording and playback times. * CIPA standard.
