Multi Frame NR
The Multi Frame NR mode is super effective
at suppressing noise. It allows you to clearly
capture scenes that would normally be
challenging even for seasoned professionals.
For example, candle-lit environments can
be vividly captured without using a tripod
or flash. Like Hand-held Twilight, it takes six
photos and expertly composites them
to suppress noise and blur while raising
contrast and detail. This intelligent mode
is compatible with any ISO setting and
functions in all P/A/S/M modes, enabling
noise suppression and improved image
quality in any type of lighting. Through ISO
expansion, it can even achieve ultra-high
sensitivity equivalent to ISO 25600.
GPS capability
The built-in GPS (Global Positioning
System) feature can tag your photographs
with data that indicates where and when
they were taken. When you view tagged
photographs on a Windows
® PC installed
with bundled PMB software, or on a
connected BRAVIA
® TV with the Photo Map
function, the photos can be displayed on
a map to indicate where they were taken.
Hand-held Twilight
When lighting is low, Hand-held Twilight
mode enables clear flash-free photography
without using a tripod. This handy Scene
Selection mode shoots a burst of six images
at different settings, including an ISO setting
as high as necessary for the scene and a
shutter speed appropriate for handheld
shooting. It then employs proprietary Sony
digital compositing technology and noise
reduction to align and combine the images
and create a single frame with significantly
suppressed blur and noise. The feature
even effectively compensates for camera
and subject movement, making it easy
to take beautiful evening shots with the
camera in your hand.
Creative Style
Creative Style settings free you to swiftly
adjust the look of your photos and
movies. Depending on the scene and
your creative intentions, simply select any
of 13 settings (Standard, Vivid, Neutral,
Clear, Portrait, Landscape, etc.) and the
camera will adjust color and other image
parameters accordingly. You can also fine-
tune contrast, saturation* and sharpness
to suit your personal preference and
achieve just the right finishing touch.
Dynamic Range Optimizer (DRO)
If the subject’s face is dark in a backlit
situation, DRO uses proprietary Sony
technology to recover details hidden in
the shadows and deliver a naturally bright
image. DRO can even be used during
continuous shooting and provides five
user-selectable levels of compensation.
* Not available when B/W mode is selected.
