Zoom with Power and Ease
Take dynamic close-ups of distant subjects with the Intelligent 77× Zoom, while the Image Stabilizer gives you clear images and less blurring. Use 32.3mm Wide-angle Shooting for outstanding group photos and landscapes.
Intelligent 77x Zoom
The HC-V160 enables ultra-telephoto Intelligent 77× zoom shooting with a compact body. This powerful zoom brings faraway subjects right up close to capture dynamic images that fill the entire frame.
Image Stabilizer
The Image Stabilizer corrects slight hand-shake. Even high-power zoom shots, which are highly susceptible to hand-shake, now come out sharp and clear.
32.3mm Wide-Angle
The 32.3mm wide-angle fits more people and more of the background into the frame. This is especially handy when you want to take a group photo in a small room. It fits your subjects in even when you shoot from up close, and makes it possible to pick up even small sounds with the mic.
BSI Sensor
The BSI Sensor has improved high sensitivity performance to record easy-to-see, clear images even in dimly lit situations.
Creative Control
Filter effects – Miniature Effect, 8mm Movie, Silent Movie and Time Lapse Recording – make it possible to shoot impressive video recordings that are matched to the shooting situation.
iA (intelligent Auto) Mode
This powerful function senses the shooting conditions and automatically makes the settings and activates functions that will deliver optimal results. iA does the bothersome settings for you and makes it easy to capture beautiful, well-focused images.
