The VPC-WH1’s characteristic waterproof mode enables it to capture underwater images with more realistic colors.


The VPC-WH1 is able to detect your subjects’ faces instantly. Even if the faces move, the WH1 can follow them and adjust the focus and exposure to match your central subject. The Face Chaser function has been developed so that it can even follow faces from a side-on angle.
Note: Depending on the subject and shooting conditions, face detection may not operate as expected.



Using SANYO’s original digital image stabilizer technology, the VPC-WH1 reduces camera shake for both videos and photos. Now you can shoot without worrying about the camera shake that typically occurs when zooming in on your subject.
Note: The stabilizer may not compensate for extreme camera shake or for shaking that occurs at slow shutter speeds.

At the highest sensitivity of ISO 1600, you can capture the natural colors of faces and indoor scenes at night, as well as night scenes where you don’t want to use a flash.


Simply select the mode best suited to your subject for easy and beautiful shooting.

The high-speed shutter captures fast-moving subjects, such as children, pets, and people playing sports.

The subject stands out against a deemphasized background.

The entire image is captured clearly by focusing on the scene in the distance. This feature is also used when shooting night scenes.

Ideal for shooting accessories or products for web-based auctions, the VPC-WH1’s super macro function lets you shoot subjects from just 1 cm away.


Even when the subject is not in the center of the frame, the VPC-WH1 can automatically focus on it to avoid blurred photos.


The 16:9 wide mode lets you enjoy images with a wider aspect ratio, such as sweeping landscapes.
Note: Records at 0.9 M resolution (1280 x 720 pixels) when in wide mode.


The VPC-WH1 can be connected via USB cable to any printer with a PictBridge logo. After connecting the devices, you can print out your desired images by simply choosing them on the camera’s monitor.

The VPC-WH1 features separate adjustable modes for exposure correction, aperture adjustment, and shutter speed. Manual mode, meanwhile, lets you adjust both the aperture and shutter speed to match the shooting situation.
