With Picture Frame Mode, you can display either the stunning pre-loaded images or your own pictures from a compatible USB memory device, such as the Sony Micro Vault Tiny, slotted into the side of the screen, when you're not watching TV.

HD quality images give you lush, warm colours and exquisite detail. And Picture Frame Mode activates an optimal picture setting which reduces brightness to make your favourite images look like a real painting.

They save on power too. When using Picture Frame Mode, the TV uses less energy than watching normal TV. And you can set a timer to switch the TV to standby mode, if you forget to turn it off.

Televisions are designed with moving images in mind, which is why they often fall short of bringing out the true colour and contrast of your high-megapixel digital still images.

PhotoTV HD solves this problem by making your photos look their best.

When you connect your Handycam® camcorder or Cyber-shot digital camera to your TV via HDMI™, your photos will appear in amazing HD quality. Colour, contrast and crispness are optimised automatically.

PhotoTV HD also lets you control how your photos look on screen. You can make the images as natural and warm as traditional film, perfect for photography buffs.

USB Photo Viewer effectively turns your BRAVIA into a giant digital camera display.

With this clever feature you can enjoy your photos from different sources, such as your Cyber-shot digital camera or a USB memory stick and enjoy them close-up on the big screen.

And that’s not all. You can easily edit the photos and photo albums or create special slide-shows using countless customisable settings.
