Tablet Z has two cameras. Rear one with 8MP and front one with 2 MP, both capable of video recording in Full HD. Special sensors called Sony Exmor RS, situated in camera is supposed to improve the device's light output considerably according to the manufacturer. Sony uses these special CMOS sensors in tablets for the first time. It consist of features of a digital camera like Auto-focus with face and smile recognition, HDR mode, burst mode with 10 pictures per second, self-timer, image stabilizer, and scene detection. The volume rocker serves as the zoom button. Overdoing the digital zoom quickly deteriorates the picture quality. The sensor's light output is very high, but in diffused light conditions image gets little nasty. There is a slight red cast over the images. But all things considered, the video quality is respectable.
