Create stunningly detailed photos and movies
Every scene is captured beautifully,
from corner to corner, with fine details
and rich tonal gradations thanks to
Sony’s proprietary Exmor
® APS HD
CMOS sensor. Its large size delivers
high sensitivity, attractive defocus-
ing effects, and low noise in wide-
ranging shooting situations including
dimly lit environments. Impressive
20.1-effective-megapixel resolution
also brings every detail to life.
Enjoy sharp images with suppressed
camera shake blur when using any
A-mount lens (including professional
Carl Zeiss
® and G Lenses™), thanks
to image stabilization built within the
camera that provides compensation
equivalent to approx. 2.5-4.5 steps in
shutter speed. An anti-dust coating on
the surface of the image sensor also
helps keep your images blemish-free.

Even in dim lighting, you can shoot
beautiful photos with natural tonal
gradations and low noise — with-
out using a flash. Auto ISO provides
outstanding results in most lighting
situations and you can select settings
manually to suit particular occa-
sions. Excellent low-light performance
is made possible by cutting-edge
features like the same area-specific
noise reduction as found on the 99.
Create movies of amazing clarity
at Full HD resolution with full-time
continuous phase-detection AF, the
same swift, accurate focusing used
during still photography. Movies can
be recorded at 60i* for super smooth
playback or 24p* for a cinematic
look. You can also use P/A/S/M
modes to expand your movie-
making creativity.
