Record voices loud and clear

Normally when shooting video on an Xperia camera, sound is recorded through stereo microphones to reproduce multi-dimensional sound. But the Xperia PRO-I also features a built-in monaural microphone next to the main camera, enabling you to focus on recording speech clearly while other sounds remain in the background.

False colour function for adjusting exposure0

False colour is a monitor feature that helps you avoid underexposure and overexposure in your shots. By displaying images in an alternative colour spectrum, it offers an easy, at-a-glance way to read exposure levels. Pink and dark blue, for example, represent underexposed areas of the image, while orange and red indicate overexposed areas.0
