Batteries

Currently, W cameras use N-type batteries while most HX, WX and RX cameras use Type X batteries, with some exceptions - smaller cameras like the WX220 using Type N, larger like the RX10 the W-type battery. Types N and X are interchangeable though Type X has twice the capacity of Type N. In the past, the W and T-series use Sony N-type batteries while most H-series use G-type batteries.


Features


3D

Some Cyber-shot models can take 3D stills by shooting two images using two different focus settings. The technology uses one lens only for the process, and users can later see the images on a

or on a regular 2D screen. The cameras have been available since 2010.


Geotagging

Some Cyber-Shot models such as the DSC-HX20V, DSC-HX90V, DSC-HX200V and the DSC-HX400V have a built-in

so the user can have their photos automatically geotagged as they are being taken. The feature can also serve as a compass as it shows the user's position on the camera screen.


Tru Black

Tru Black is a technology developed by Sony which allows a better visualization of the screen, even when there is too much light. It enables LCD screens to automatically change the display contrast in order to enhance the controlling reflectance. In other words, when light hits a display with Tru Black technology, the screen turns opaque as a means to improve the visualization of the content.


Panorama

All current Cyber-shot cameras are equipped with a

technology branded as Sweep Panorama, which enables the user to capture wide format photographs using only one lens. The photos can be taken and displayed in 2D or 3D.
