Capture fantastically framable photo ops with a high-grade Carl Zeiss® 25mm equivalent wide angle lens and 5x zoom. Convey lush landscapes, breath-taking coastlines and expansive cityscapes using Sweep Panorama mode and review them on the 2.7" screen. Shoot moving moments in 720p HD video to share and relive, again and again. Get less obnoxious blur thanks to Optical SteadyShot® Image Stabilization. Slip the slender W570 in your pocket before your next adventure — a multitude of features and fun await.

  • Panoramic Shots Made Easy

    Sweep Panorama Mode reaches beyond the traditional wide angle lenses to let you capture expansive, 235-degree shots of landscapes or skyscrapers. Just press the shutter and shoot the scene with a sweeping motion. The camera does the rest.

  • Shoot Movies in HD

    Nothing recreates the moment like razor-sharp, high definition video. Your movies will look stunning on YouTube™ and similar sites thanks to the 720p high-definition MPEG4 recording format. Record up to 29 minutes (or up to 2GB) per movie in 720p format.

  • Goodbye Blurry Photos

    Don't let a not-so-steady hand prevent you from capturing the moment. Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilization uses a built-in gyro sensor to detect camera shake and automatically compensates to help prevent blur without sacrificing image quality.

  • A Smarter Auto Mode

    Unlike traditional auto mode, Intelligent Auto (iAuto) mode thinks for you—recognizing scenes, lighting conditions and faces—and automatically adjusts the settings for you. The results are clear images, faces with natural skin tone and less blur.

  • Fit Everybody In

    The professional-quality Carl Zeiss® Vario-Tessar® 5x optical zoom lens with 25mm equivalent wide angle brings distant subjects closer for great outdoor and travel photos. Plus, the wide angle lens helps you fit everyone in for better group photos.

  • Faces First

    Sony's Face Detection technology detects up to eight individual faces and adjusts focus, exposure, and white balance to help deliver crisp, properly lit images of family and friends. The Anti-blink function works to help counter blinking and squinting.

TV, camera and PC each sold separately. All screen images simulated.

Additional features include Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilization for reduced blur and Intelligent Auto (iAuto) mode which thinks for you by recognizing scenes, lighting conditions and faces, then automatically adjusts settings. Reach beyond the traditional wide angle lens, and capture more breathtaking shots with Sweep Panorama Mode.

720p MP4 HD Movie Mode4

In 720p MP4 movie mode the camera shoots 1280 x 720 high definition movies at 30 fps, a standard format when working with a PC. Users will create high quality movies with full use of optical zoom in files small enough to transfer to compatible PC or Mac® computer.4 Once transferred to your computer and connected to the internet, you can effortlessly upload your media to popular photo and video-sharing websites such as Photobucket® and YouTube™.

2.7” (230K dots) Clear Photo LCD™ display

2.7” (230K dots) Clear Photo LCD™ display features sharp, natural color that makes it easy to compose shots, read menus, and view photos, even in bright sunlight.

Soft Skin mode

Portrait subjects will love the results. Soft Skin mode recognizes skin tones and reduces the appearance of blemishes and wrinkles without affecting the rest of the shot.

In camera guide

Take all the guesswork out of photography with the in camera guide. Its convenient step by step instructions lead you to the perfect shot.

Carl Zeiss® Vario-Tessar® Lens with 25mm wide angle 5x Optical Zoom

The high-performance Carl Zeiss® Vario-Tessar® 5x optical zoom lens brings distant subjects closer for video recording as well as for outdoor, sports, and travel photos, and Close Focus shoots close-ups up within a ½” of the subject. A wide angle of 25mm equivalent wide-angle lens allows you to take wider shots of the scene or group in crowded spaces.

Intelligent Scene Recognition (iSCN) Mode

Intelligent Scene Recognition (iSCN) Mode automatically detects eight different types of scenes and, within just 1/30th of a second, selects the appropriate camera settings: Backlight, Backlight Portrait, Twilight, Twilight Portrait, Twilight using a tripod, Portrait, Landscape and macro. iSCN has two modes: Auto and Advanced. In Auto Mode, the camera takes a single shot using the optimal settings. In Advanced Mode, the camera takes a photo with the optimal settings and, if in difficult lighting (low light or back light) immediately takes a second photo with another optimized setting so you can choose which to keep.

In-Camera Retouching Tools

Retouch and enhance your photos on the go with in-camera Trimming, Red-Eye Correction, and Unsharp Masking functions

Includes Sony® PMB Portable software

With the pre-installed Picture Motion Browser (PMB) Portable softwarethe DSC-W570 makes it easy to pre-select videos and images in the camera and conveniently upload them from the camera to a compatible PC and popular Internet sharing sites without the need for any additional software or install.2

16.1 Megapixel Super HAD™ CCD Image Sensor

A powerful 16.1 megapixel 1/2.3” Super HAD™ CCD image sensor helps you capture gorgeous images with superb contrast and clarity down to the finest detail. With 16.1 megapixels, you can create stunning, photo-quality prints up to A3+ (13x19”) size, or crop your images and still come away with high resolution shots.

Intelligent Auto Mode

Unlike traditional auto mode, Intelligent Auto (iAuto) mode thinks for you, recognizing scenes, lighting conditions, faces, and adjusts settings resulting in clear images, faces with natural skin tone and less blur. Take advantage of all the technology without leaving Auto mode. Kids on the playground, landscape shots, a beautiful flower or an indoor birthday party; result in clear images without leaving auto mode.

Self-Portrait Timer

Self-Portrait Timer helps take the guesswork out of self portraits by utilizing Face Detection technology to recognize when your face enters the frame. Once the camera detects your face, it triggers a 2-second timer, and then snaps a picture.

Smile Shutter™ technology

Smile Shutter™ technology captures a smile the moment it happens. Simply press the Smile Shutter™ button and the camera does the rest. You can also select adult and child priority and indicate the degree of Smile Detection sensitivity. Intelligent Scene Recognition can now be used together with Smile Shutter™ mode when the Intelligent Auto mode is on. This means that beautiful smiles can be captured with settings optimized for the particular scene, even in difficult conditions such as twilight and backlighting.

Dynamic Range Optimizer Standard and Plus

Dynamic Range Optimizer (DRO) Standard and Plus uses a sophisticated algorithm to help recover shadows and highlights. The result is more natural images with clearer details that more closely match what your naked eye sees. DRO is particularly effective when shooting backlit portraits or any scene with a dramatic contrast between background and foreground lighting. DRO Plus allows for even greater optimization by analyzing each region of an image and performing additional image processing.

Easy Shooting Mode

With Easy Shooting Mode, even beginners can take great photos. In Easy Shooting Mode, easy-to-understand basic instructions are displayed on the LCD screen and the camera switches to all automatic settings, removing several function choices and allowing you to focus on just your subject. Since this mode works together with Intelligent Scene Recognition, the camera selects the optimum setting for each scene. In addition the easy mode simplifies preview mode.

Includes Sony® PMB (Picture Motion Browser) Software ver. 5.3

Sony Picture Motion Browser software offers a simple, intuitive way to transfer, sort, and view your video and still images on your compatible PC. In addition, multiple output options let you burn your memories to DVD using an external DVD burning device, as well as take advantage of one click upload to a number of popular video and photo sharing sites (such as Facebook® and Sony’s Personal Space™ site).¹

Sweep Panorama™ mode

Reach beyond the traditional wide angle lens, and capture more breathtaking shots with Sweep Panorama™ mode. Simply press the shutter button and sweep the camera in the desired direction and the camera continuously shoots at a high speed, then seamlessly stitches the images together with automatic position adjustment to create one stunning panoramic image. Available in wide and ultra-wide options, the camera can take panoramic shots of up to 235 degrees. Now capturing wide landscapes is as easy as press and sweep.

Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilization

Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilization uses a built-in gyro sensor to detect camera shake and automatically shifts the lens to help prevent blur without sacrificing image quality.

Natural Flash

Conventional point-and-shoot camera flash shots just don't capture colors the way the eye sees them. Natural Flash mode takes a reference shot without flash and then uses that reference to correct the color, for far more lifelike images.

Face Detection technology

Face Detection technology detects up to eight individual faces and adjusts focus, exposure, and white balance to help deliver crisp, properly lit images of family and friends.

Anti-blink Function

It’s frustrating to capture the perfect shot, only to review it later and discover subjects blinked during the photo. The Anti-blink function works to help counter blinking and squinting. When the camera is set to Soft Snap, the Anti-blink function captures two images, recording only the photo with less squinting. If a blink is detected in other shooting modes, a warning will be displayed after you take the shot.

High Sensitivity Mode (ISO 3200)

High ISO allows for faster shutter speed, so you can take photos indoors or in low light without the need for a flash. In addition to High Sensitivity Mode (ISO), you can select up to seven ISO settings (Auto, 125, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200) when shooting in Program Auto Mode to adjust sensitivity to your shooting conditions.

PHOTOMUSIC

PHOTOMUSIC combines images with music (4 tracks, up to 5 minutes per track) to produce fun and entertaining slide shows with standard visual effects (Simple, Nostalgic, Active, and Stylish). Select from pre-loaded tracks on the camera or transfer your own from your compatible computer.3

DSC-W570 3.8 5 16 16
Wonderful focus on Macro! I've always loved Sony cameras. I used to own a W55, and just recently bought the W570 when my older camera died. I love that the flash does not wash pictures out. I love the quality of the MACRO. Which is one of the features I most love to use. It's exceptional at focusing quickly, and takes pictures much faster than my older W55. Wonderful point and shoot! July 16, 2011
W570 SILVER Have had it for about a month now and I would say I would recommend it because of how good it takes pictures... March 14, 2012
Not a silver color as mentioned Its more like a like gray color. I am very much dissapointed with the purchase with color I received February 13, 2012
You are better of with the WX-9 I recently got this for Christmas. After playing a bit wit it. The camera looks very nice. focus shots are very clear and macro is very good as well. the color reproduction is good. a bit too saturated,. low light pictures? forget about it. it sucks. the quality is extremely grainy and it looks like its taken from an old 2 megapixel cell phone camera im satisfied with it. but i wish the camera has a better low light picture quality December 26, 2011
