6-image layering
The camera leverages the large, APS-C image sensor and captures six images in a fraction of a second. The camera then combines
the data from the 6 dierent images up to ISO 25600 to create a single image. This method is used to control blur in Anti-Motion Blur
mode or to get cleaner, sharper nighttime pictures in Hand-held Twilight mode.
Photo Creativity Touch interface
The Photo Creativity touch interface enables you to easily enjoy the creative expression of SLR-quality digital imaging without the
complicated settings. Changes can be easily made using the control dial with results seen in real time on the LCD. Settings include;
Background Defocus, Brightness, Color, Vividness and most Picture Eects.

beautifully composed and appealingly balanced full resolution portraits.
Clear Image Zoom
Utilizing Sony’s exclusive By Pixel Super Resolution Technology, Clear Image Zoom increases the eective focal length of your lens up
to 2x by digitally magnifying the center of your image with nearly imperceptible degradation. It virtually doubles the eective focal
length of whatever lens you’re using providing greater shooting exibility.
Convenient USB charging
