Key Features
10x Optical / 20x Clear Image Zoom G Lens
Get close with 10x optical zoom plus 20x Clear Image digital 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.
18.2MP Exmor R® CMOS Sensor for superb low light images
This camera features an 18.2 megapixel Exmor® R CMOS image sensor that brings out the full resolving power of the
camera’s 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.
BIONZ X engine for superb detail and noise reduction
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.
Smooth Full HD video recording in 1080/60p
Record crystal clear movies at the highest resolution available with capabilities for 60p in 1080 AVCHD™ video.¹ This
provides stunning, fast cinematic video with less distortion for playback on your HDTV
Simple connectivity to smartphones via Wi-Fi® w/ NFC
Connectivity with smartphones for One-touch sharing/One-touch remote has been simplied with Wi-Fi® w/NFC3 control.
In addition to Wi-Fi support for connecting to smartphones, the camera also supports NFC (near eld communication)
providing “one touch connection” convenience when transferring images to Android™ smartphones and tablets. Users
need only touch devices to connect; no complex set-up is required. Moreover, when using Smart Remote Control — a
feature that allows shutter release to be controlled by a smartphone — connection to the smartphone can be established
by simply touching compatible devices.
