Movies

Bright HD Movie Recording

Even with its light weight and slim design, the HX-WA2 renders images in breathtaking, high-definition beauty. You can record clear images even when in dimly lit places--like indoors and at parties. You can preserve precious memories in stunning image quality for watching on a large-screen TV or sharing on the web.

15x Intelligent Zoom for Motion Image Shooting

In addition to an optical zoom, the HX-WA2 lets you shoot motion images with a maximum 15x Intelligent Zoom with no image quality degradation. You can get a flexible shooting range, from wide-angle to dynamic zooming.

iA (Intelligent Auto)

This powerful function senses the shooting conditions and automatically makes the settings and activates functions that will deliver optimal results. With both motion and still images, iA does the bothersome settings for you and makes it easy to capture beautiful, well-focused images.

Intelligent Scene Selector

The Intelligent Scene Selector function analyzes the shooting situation and automatically switches the Dual Camera to the suitable scene mode that will give you optimal results. Scene modes are Portrait, Scenery, Spotlight, and Low Light, for a range of exposure options.

E.I.S. (Electrical Image Stabilizer)

The E.I.S. (Electrical Image Stabilizer) system helps to correct the kind of hand-shake blurring that often happens with compact cameras. Record all the images you want, whether you're shooting while walking, or taking self-portraits, without having to worry about blurring.
