Description
The DSC-H400 was designed with ease of use in mind. Its ergonomic grip, similar to those on standard single-lens reflex cameras, makes handling the camera easy. The Images are clearly displayed in the viewfinder, with minimal reflection, even when shooting outdoors in bright sunlight.
Generous 3.0" (921K 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.

Bring on the zoom
Capture the action up close with the powerful 63x zoom, 20.1-megapixel camera that takes you there. Even shoot on the move thanks to Optical SteadyShot that helps minimize blur. Use easy mode to simplify the camera's menu functions, plus add fun or dramatic looks with the built-in picture effects. It's ready when you are. -
Crazy clear close-ups
Capture even far off subjects in glorious detail via the 63x optical zoom on a professional Carl ZEISS lens. This incredibly powerful optical zoom brings the action to you so you can make the most out of every moment. -
Say goodbye to blur
Don't let a not-so-steady hand prevent you from capturing the moment. Optical SteadyShot image stabilization with Intelligent Active mode compensates for camera shake by countering camera movements in both horizontal and vertical directions. Get sharp, blur-free footage and photos in otherwise unsteady situations, like shooting video while walking or zoomed in. -
More pixels please
Capture high-resolution images with superb contrast and clarity down to the finest detail thanks to the 20.1-megapixel Super HAD CCD image sensor. More pixels means you can enlarge zoom in and crop your pictures without jeopardizing quality. -
Take it easy
Put your camera in easy mode to make taking quick shots a snap. This handy feature minimizes the layers of options in your menu, taking a lot of the guesswork out of getting the perfect picture. -
Effortless effects
Let your imagination run free with a variety of fascinating in-camera effects for your still images (4 modes), videos (4 modes) and even sweep panoramas (3 modes). Picture effect makes it quick and easy to find the perfect accent to make your subjects come alive in charming, funny or interesting ways. -
Panoramic photos up to 360-degree
Use sweep panorama mode to get breathtaking panoramic shots of up to 360-degree. Capture sprawling landscapes and captivating cityscapes by pressing the shutter and sweeping the camera in the desired direction. The camera handles the rest, shooting multiple images at high speeds then seamlessly stitching them together to create one continuous image. -
Smile Shutter technology automatically captures smiles
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. -
