18.2MP Exmor® R CMOS sensor
The 18.2MP Exmor® R CMOS sensor captures ultra-high denition images that take full advantage
of the camera’s sharp Sony
High Sensitivity data from the sensor, and activates By-Pixel Super Resolution technologies to
reduce noise levels up to 6X compared to previous CMOS sensors, resulting in stunning low light
images with incredible details.
®
G lens. An advanced BIONZ processor rapidly analyzes the Extra-
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
focusing speeds, even in low light.
®
processor. The result is fast, DSLR-like
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 60i in 1080
AVCHD™ video.¹ This provides stunning, fast motion video with less distortion for playback on your
2
HD TV.
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.
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” soware, 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 ying 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 Eect
Picture Eect 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 dierent eects.
Photo Creativity
Photo Creativity allows you to ne-tune your exposure settings, such as brightness, color, and
vividness, and quickly choose the right enhancement for your subject. Now you can view Picture
Eects and Photo Creativity eects in real time on the camera’s monitor or in the viewnder
before shooting.
Background Defocus
DSLR photographs are oen beautiful because they blur the background, putting the emphasis
on the subject. Now our point-and-shoot cameras can deliver this signature DSLR benet. The
system takes two shots, identies the background and applies a defocused background keeping
the subject crisp and clear
