To reduce motion shake, the cameras have Optical SteadyShot with Active mode, and 3-Way Shake Canceling technology ensures that vertical and horizontal shake is reduced through optical image stabilization and lateral roll is corrected through electronic image stabilization. Both cameras offer a new Face Touch ability, which will focus on an individual’s face if detected on the view screen. They can record to Memory Stick Pro-HG Duo HX media for an additional 32GB of storage. A slew of additional features, such as a GPS antenna and 5.1 sound, are also included.
