Key Features

50x Optical/100x Clear Image Zoom G Lens

Get amazingly close with 50x optical zoom plus 100x Clear Image zoom G lens . 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.

Shoot incredibly smooth video1 and stills

Shoot incredibly smooth video1 and still images with the new BIONZ X processor and Optical SteadyShot (Intelligent Active
mode). When the processor and image stabilization technology work together they deliver sharp image quality with low
noise and minimal blur even while the user is strolling and the camera is zoomed in

20.4MP Exmorr® R CMOS Sensor for superb low light images

This camera features a 20.4 megapixel Exmor® R CMOS image sensor that brings out the full resolving power of the
camera’s professional G® Lens to deliver extremely fast speed, high resolution, and stunning low-light sensitivity with
improved image clarity and drastically reduced grain. In addition, the combined Exmor® R CMOS sensor and BIONZ® X
image processor delivers extremely fast up to 10fps, Anti Motion Blur, Hand-held Twilight and 1080p movie modes.
