16.1 MP Exmor APS HD CMOS Sensor Capture your memories in stunning detail
The beauty of your special moments is captured to the last detail with the Exmor APS HD CMOS sensor. Additionally, the 16.1 megapixel resolution is complemented by an extra-large sensor size that raises sensitivity in low-light conditions and strengthens background defocusing effects.

15-point AF System With 3 Cross Sensors Make every memory a runaway hit
Shooting your subjects even when they are moving or in areas that have poor or low light is now a breeze. With the three vertically aligned cross sensors, the new 15-point AF system ensures that you get fast and accurate TTL phase detection autofocusing wherever and whenever you shoot. You can also give your movies the creative touch with our four AF area modes (Wide, Zone, Spot or Local).
Enhanced Object Tracking
The newly improved Object Tracking feature helps track your subjects with speed and precision. When your subject is a person, it automatically switches between face detection tracking and object tracking, depending on whether the person is facing the camera or away.

Shading And Aberration Compensation For Interchangeable Lenses
The 57 compensates for the shading and aberration characteristics of the lens you mount. This includes vignetting, lateral chromatic aberration and optical distortion, which can each be activated or deactivated through the menu as desired. Embedded data on supported A-mount lenses+ enures optimal compensation.

Bionz Image Processing Engine
BIONZ Image Processing Engine drastically reduces the picture noise level and achieves high accuracy in auto-focusing, exposure auto-correction and auto white balancing; creating more natural and vibrant images in different shooting environments. |
Superior Auto Mode
Enjoy the convenience of
point-and-shoot with Superior Auto mode. It automatically detects, analyses and adjusts the camera settings to achieve optimal results. This feature also helps you choose the ideal setting by combining the innovative technologies of Intelligent Auto Focus, Motion Detection and Intelligent Scene Recognition. Getting beautiful photos, even in challenging conditions and low light is now easier. |
Auto HDR
Capturing three frames rapidly and digitally combining them into one, Auto HDR achieves greater shadow and highlight detail than normal exposure on images.
|
Hand-held Twilight
Automatically combining six frames taken at high speed into one, natural looking images can be taken in low light without flash or a tripod, with minimal blurring or noise.
|
D Range Optimizer
Bring out highlight and shadow detail in high-contrast lighting conditions when shooting portraits, or in continuous shooting mode with a high-speed BIONZ Processor. |
SteadyShot INSIDE
Image stabilization enables the capture of sharp images easily in macro, indoor and other situations where use of a tripod or flash is not convenient.
