This video introduces key features of the Xperia 1 VIII.

Two people are taking stylish portraits by trees lit by warm-coloured outdoor string lights. A title reads “AI Camera Assistant” over a close-up of the Xperia display and the camera interface, as a portrait of one of the people is scanned to simulate subject and background detection and automatically enhance image sharpness, contrast, and depth.

The people smile as they select different suggested enhanced image options with different colour tones and contrast. They select an option, and the screen splits to show the “Original” and the selected “AI Camera Assistant” option, with enhanced skin tones and contrast and a smooth defocused background. A montage of “AI Camera Assistant” portraits is displayed, then the camera spins around the people to transition to one of the people in a café, capturing a shot of a colourful plate of food.

As they prepare to capture an image, they can select from a range of “AI Camera Assistant” suggested variations of colour, tone, and zoom level. The shot transitions from the Xperia screen to a split screen showing the suggested images, with the caption “AI Camera Assistant” and the camera zooming in. A row of images reveals the “Original” and various “AI Camera Assistant” variations.
