Features:
- 18.2MP Exmor® R CMOS sensor The 18.2MP Exmor® R CMOS sensor captures
ultra-high definition images that take full advantage of the camera’s sharp
Sony® G lens. The sensor enables advanced processing that reduces noise levels
up to 6 times more than other sensors, resulting in stunning low light images
with incredible details.
- High speed AF To improve focusing speed and sensitivity, the Exmor®
R CMOS sensor uses its rapid throughput to deliver high-quality image signals
to the camera’s BIONZ® processor. The result is fast, DSLR-like focusing speeds,
even in low light.
- Optical zoom plus Clear image zoom Most digital zooms use electronic
cropping to get closer to the subject, resulting in unsharp images. With Clear
Image Zoom the powerful processor compares patterns found in adjacent pixels
and creates new pixels to match selected patterns, resulting in more realistic,
higher-quality images. Clear Image Zoom doubles optical zoom for closer photos.
- Full HD 1080/60p Record crystal clear movies at the highest resolution
available with capabilities for 60p in 1080 AVCHD™ video.¹ This provides stunning,
fast motion video with less distortion for playback on your HD TV.2 With dual
record of stills and movies, you can shoot both at the same time.
- Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilization with 3-way Active Mode Optical
SteadyShot™ image stabilization reduces shake and blur by countering camera
movements in both horizontal and vertical directions. Active 3-Way stabilization
adds digital rolling control that counters clockwise and anti-clockwise rotation,
resulting in more stable videos even at long focal lengths.
- WiFi sharing WiFi lets you quickly upload photos and videos directly
to social media sites, back them up on a network-connected PC, or view them
on a large screen TV. WiFi-enabled smartphones and tablets can also pull images
from your camera and upload them to social media.
- GPS and Compass GPS and compass record location data and camera direction
as you shoot movies and photos. GPS Log lets users track a photographic journey
and later view the path and images on a map. Map View in “PlayMemories Home”
software, allows users to view images on a map showing where they were taken.
The logged path and images can also be displayed on Google Earth.
- Capture the decisive moment with up to 10fps Capture full 18.2 megapixel
resolution images at up to 10 frames per second, helping to ensure that the
decisive moment is captured such as the soccer ball flying into the goal.
In addition, a mechanical shutter helps reduce distortion when continuously
shooting moving subjects.
- 3D Still Image and 3D Sweep Panorama™ mode Produce awe-inspiring
images with 3D Still Image and 3D Sweep Panorama™ capabilities.3 Photos will
take on a new dimension of creative capabilities for viewing the world in
a whole new way.
- Picture Effect Picture Effect adds a new level of expression to photos,
making ordinary landscapes and portraits come to life by heightening mood
and emphasizing certain attributes. Select camera models have up to nine different
effects.
- Photo Creativity Photo Creativity allows you to fine-tune your exposure
settings, such as brightness, color, and vividness, and quickly choose the
right enhancement for your subject. Now you can view Picture Effects and Photo
Creativity effects in real time on the camera’s monitor or in the viewfinder
before shooting.
