Sony CyberShot T500 features movie modes
Not sure whether that special moment deserves a photo or a video clip? It’s easy to switch instantly between still and movie modes at the touch of a conveniently placed button on top of the camera. You can even grab crisp still images (1280x720 pixels) without interrupting video shooting.
3.5" touchscreen LCD included in the Sony T500
The superb Carl Zeiss lens on the CyberShot DSC-T500 features a new ring-type Zoom button, allowing easy adjustment throughout the 5x range while you’re shooting movies. Detail-packed stills and video clips can be viewed on the extra-large wide 3.5-inch touchscreen LCD. As well as giving a beautiful view of your images, the touchscreen also makes operation of camera functions beautifully simple. Touching anywhere on the screen while you’re composing a shot locks focus on that part of the scene.
Sony CyberShot DSC-T500 incorporates Face Detection
Touching a face turns on Face Detection, ensuring that people’s faces in the scene are in sharp focus and with perfect exposure for fewer spoiled shots. Up to eight faces can be tracked at a time, making the Sony T500 ideal for capturing large groups of friends and family.
Sony DSC-T500 digital camera with optical SteadyShot
Shooting handheld without flash can mean blurred pictures, especially when light levels are low or with telephoto shots. Optical SteadyShot is teamed with an improved High Sensitivity mode to allow faster shutter speeds. This ‘Dual Anti-blur’ solution is complemented by Clear RAW Noise Reduction for clean, natural images, even in low-light conditions like parties or twilight.
HD Slide Shows for all your pictures
After you’ve finished shooting, HD Slide Shows add an extra dimension of enjoyment to your collection of photos and videos. Pick from a choice of musical accompaniments, or import your favourite music track from a connected PC.

Connected via HDMI to your Sony HD TV, BRAVIA Sync allows on-screen control of Cyber-shot playback functions using the TV’s remote control.
