Beautiful images—even in low light

For low-light environments, the back-illuminated "Exmor R" CMOS sensor delivers stunning performance and increases sensitivity by 2x to reduce noise.

Natural and vibrant image

BIONZ Image Processing Engine drastically lowers noise level and achieves high accuracy in auto-focusing, exposure auto-correction and auto white balancing; creating a more natural and vibrant image in different shooting environments.

Realistic photos with excellent contrast

The Carl Zeiss® Vario-Tessar Lens delivers uncompromised, accurately detailed and realistic photos with excellent contrast.

Preserve every moment at 1920 x 1080i Full HD video resolution with 6 times the detail of SD (Standard Definition) video. A single glance is all you need to see the remarkable difference achieved by Sony's new "Exmor R " CMOS Sensor. You can also shoot still images at a vibrant 3.1 megapixels to make every detail come to life.

Quick AF - Focus Twice as Fast

A new and improved autofocus (AF) system, Quick AF, allows you to focus twice as fast as previous models. Amazingly, this is possible whether in bright daylight or in dimly lit environments. Thanks to the much improved AF algorithm in Quick AF, you can be assured of fast, accurate, and consistent focus lock even when shooting night scenes!

Unlike simple auto mode, iAUTO mode does the thinking for you. It recognises your surroundings and automatically adjusts settings for the best filming results. iAUTO selects from 90 possible settings then uses clever technologies to optimise for faces, smiles, low-light levels, different scenes (beach, snow, sports, etc.) or anti-shake adjustment.
