    This has to be the most disappointing product I have ever purchased from Sony. All the specs sound great: 20 megapixels, 35x zoom lens, Sony intelligent software...for the price. This has to be the slowest camera since the Polaroid instant from the 80’s. If the speed was the only problem then I would give it 3 stars but the image may be blurry no matter how still or how long you hold the camera. It doesn’t matter what setting you use, inside or outside, still life or action you just don’t know what your going to get, just like an 80’s Polaroid instant. Purchase the next model or 2 up. This is just awful.

      Hi BarbaraAnne, The camera automatically adjusts the focus. Press and hold the shutter button halfway down. Focus adjustment may take some time when shooting a close subject. Make sure the Scene Selection is not set to Landscape, Night Scene, or Fireworks mode. You may also check out the Sony DSC-RX10M3 that has an outstanding macro shooting feature.
      Best regards,

    I got this for my mom for Christmas to replace an older Kodak. It seemed like the lighting and the distance had to be perfect to get a clear picture. The older Kodak was better, so I returned this camera. My mom was very disappointed in her present.

    Totally pleased with purchase!

    Respectfully disagree with the negativity of the previous reviewers. Purchased this product having thoroughly researched and thought about what features were of top importance. The combination of such a high megapixels number and zoom ability is currently rare for this product's price topped everything. Before and after purchase, used every feature this product has to offer the user to make sure it worked properly and meet or exceed needs. If it didn't, was prepared to return it but that was not an issue or necessary. Quite the opposite. Very satisfied. There is even an Easy mode / setting built into the camera that you can set it to and just aim, adjust the framing of the shot and click the shutter. If you don't want to use this setting, just turn it off and take the time to at least learn to totally use the camera. As with any product, you may have to learn by experimenting with the features. If you want to immediately use it on a vacation, such as a previous user mentioned they did, of course things may not go perfectly because there might be a slight learning curve until being able to operate it exactly as you wish. To blame the camera for not doing something, like focusing, without being totally familiar with the inner workings and subtleties and precisely to properly adjust the settings seems unfair for this model. You must realize the level of features, including advanced, you have here. It's like if someone drives a regular every day street car but has never driven a more advanced car. It may be possible to operate some of the features but not others. People should not be so quick to criticize this product. You have to know, as a consumer, what you are committing to purchase before do so. Educate yourself as to what is important before purchasing. Even spend some time in the store touching it and hands on using every feature. It might be beneficial. For what it has to offer the user, the price is great! Totally happy with it!

    Great Camera

    I love this camera. It is very easy to use. It uses 4 AA batteries instead of the lithium rechargeable batteries, but I bought rechargeable AA batteries and it's worked wonderfully. Do not buy regular AA's because you will be wasting your money. Thought i could use regular AA's when i forgot to bring my rechargeables with me and they only lasted a whopping minute (it was just enough to power on the camera and then die). The pictures come out crisp and beautiful. I'm very impressed with this camera.

      Hi nick, It is sad that the camera had to be returned. Sony takes into consideration all good or bad feedback to improve the performance and quality of our products. We'll forward this to the right department. -Vincent sony_US
