Auto HDR built into camera
High Dynamic Range (HDR) photography captures more scene contrast than a single exposure can handle by
combining the best highlight detail from one shot and the best shadow detail from another for one incredible shot.
Until recently, you needed a computer and editing soware. Sony builds HDR in. Handles severe backlighting and
other high-contrast scenes. Captures in a split second. (Recommended for still subjects.)
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.
Sweep Panorama™ Technology
Capture expansive landscapes automatically. Press the shutter, sweep vertically or horizontally. The camera does
the rest, continuously shooting images and stitching them together. Up to 23 MP image size. Up to 202 degrees
maximum sweep angle (16mm focal length).
Anti Motion Blur mode
Corrects for subject movement to capture amazingly clean and sharp images in low light. The camera leverages
the large, APS-C image sensor and captures six images in a fraction of a second. Combining the data from all six
creates a single image that minimizes subject blur.
Intelligent Auto Focus
Pre-focuses as you compose the shot, further reducing focusing time to a bare minimum.
Peaking AF display
The Peaking AF display makes precise manual focusing much easier by highlighting the edges that are in focus in
your choice of three colors (white, red, or yellow). This is especially helpful during macro or portrait photography
where your focal plane can make or break your shot.
Manual Focus Assist
Greatly magnies the viewnder image when you touch the focus ring, making it easy to get razor-sharp images.
Works with E-mount lenses only.
Enhanced Tracking Focus
Tracking Focus continuously tracks a user-designated subject and is now more eective at tracking people. If
the subject turns away from the camera, face-detection tracking automatically switches to subject tracking and
continues tracking.
Face Detection technology
The camera can automatically detect up to eight individual faces and adjust focus, exposure, white balance and
ash to help deliver crisp, properly lit images of family and friends. Can prioritize children or adults.
