Background defocus mode

Use your camera's blurred background effect to make your subjects look sharper and more vivid in comparison to their background. In Background defocus mode, the camera takes two shots, identifies the background and then blurs it while keeping the subject sharp and in focus. It's just like shooting with a digital SLR camera. You can select from three different blur variations and tune the blur level in the preview display.

Face in

You can use the Face in mode to turn on the front and main cameras at the same time, so you can take a photo of yourself together with the subject.

Multi camera mode

Multi camera mode lets you take a photo from multiple angles by connecting your Xperia™ device with other Xperia™ devices and with Sony cameras that support Wi- Fi® or NFC. When your Xperia™ device is connected to one to three such devices, the image through the viewfinder of each device appears in your viewfinder at the same time.
