Take the HX-WA10 underwater as deep as 3 meters for up to 60 minutes, and get some great photos or videos in a pool or the ocean. Swim along with tropical fish, capture shots of a beautiful coral reef, or get action footage of a friend snorkeling. Waterproofing also means you can shoot in the rain or snow with no worries. Even with its light weight and slim design, the HX-WA10 renders images in breathtaking, Full HD (1920 x 1080) beauty. BSI (backside illumination) sensor technology has improved the sensitivity of the CMOS sensor, making it possible to shoot images with high-resolution Full HD quality even in dimly lit areas. The HX-WA10 shoots 16-megapixel high-resolution still pictures. Depending on the situation, you can flexibly shoot either high-quality photos or videos by using only the thumb to press the desired button, without having to change modes. You can also capture 2-megapixel still images while recording a video by simply pressing the Still button. In addition to an optical 5x zoom, the high-quality image engine of the HX-WA10 lets you shoot videos with a maximum 12x advanced zoom with no image quality degradation. With both photos and videos, iA does the bothersome settings for you and makes it easy to capture beautiful images. Intelligent scene selector analyzes shooting situation and automatically switches the camera to the suitable scene mode. Face detection automatically senses the ambient lighting and adjusts the exposure accordingly, so faces are bright and easy to see, and E.I.S. (electrical image stabilizer) helps to correct hand-shake blurring.
