Sony Camera Robot: You’ll Always Find Him On The Table at Parties
Put your Sony camera onto the Party Shot and it will, Sony says, “act as your personal photographer.” The little mount is controlled by the camera and will tilt and zoom, seeking out any people in the room using the face detection in the camera.
Sony's Party-shot Can Aim the Camera, Snap Pictures for You
Auto focus, auto flash, scene selection and even smile detection. Today's cameras have automated just about everything involved in snapping a picture but still require someone to point them. Not any longer. Sony has developed a base unit for cameras that swivels them around through 360 degrees and tilts them up and down to follow people in a room and, when the time is right, snap a picture.
The Party-shot will go on sale in Japan on Sept. 4 and costs ¥14,910 (US$157). It will launch simultaneously with one of two cameras that can be used with it.
