Question…..and where is the Wi-Fi and the HDMI port?In the specifications said Wi-Fi enabled and HDMI port and I seem not to find any of them returning this very pretty camera.
Asked 11 years ago by Jesss23tpa.
- Answer Hey Jesss23tpa, We're sorry to hear that you have to return the camera. Sad to say that the camera does not have an HDMI port and is not Wi-Fi capable. But if you are looking for these features, you might want to check DSCHX400 instead. Mitch

QuestionBest buys need to check the specification on this camera because it has the same spec as the DSC-HX400 and this it DSC-H400 without wifi or hdmi port and the screen dont tilt nor is their any external flash option... my wife accidently bought the DSC-H400
Asked 8 years ago by WRONG.
- Answer Hi, WRONG, DSC-H400, like the DSC-HX400, has also a built-in flash. The HX400 has a multi-interface shoe which H400 does not have.

QuestionWhat is the AC adapter for, does it charge the battery? Will the battery charge through the USB cable?
Asked 8 years ago by JoeJ.
- Answer The AC adapter is for charging the battery. USB cable does not charge this camera. There are stand-alone Sony X battery chargers that can charge the batteries outside of the camera. This camera does not come with an external charger.

QuestionIs this camera good for low light action? Or is there another recommendation? Thank you for your time.
Asked 8 years ago by Shuttersparkle1.
- Answer No, I do not recommend this camera for low light and action shots. My experience has been more blurry than non-blurry for those kinds of shots. This camera is better for objects that are not moving. I had an old Canon PowerShot with 10x optical zoom that took better action photos than this camera. The Canon has an action mode, the Sony does not. I tried different settings on the Sony H400, but didn't help a whole lot. I have not tried action shots with a tripod. That might help.
