Capture Stunningly
Clear Images
Define each strand of hair, intricate leaf veins, and every shimmer of light with the ideal pairing of 16.1 MP* Exmor™ APS HD CMOS sensor and BIONZ™ image processor. Brilliant life-like colours, superb detail and smooth tonal graduation are all hallmarks of this excellent combination.

Freeze The Action Accurately As It Happens
Astonishingly fast and amazingly precise, that's Sony's Hybrid AF - an innovation that combines the hyper- responsiveness of phase-detection AF with the precision of contrast-detection AF. Fast phase-detection AF quickly moves the lens to bring the subject into near focus as the highly precise contrast-detection AF freezes the action. With this combination you are always assured of capturing every fleeting moment.

Boasting 2,359K-dot resolution and outstanding contrast this feature reveals every subtle nuance of a scene with remarkable accuracy.
