Features
Smallest in class
This is the world’s smallest interchangeable lens digital still camera using an APS-C size sensor
(as of June 2011). We removed the conventional mirror box, AF sensor and viewfinder, reducing
the “flange back” distance from 44.5 mm to 18 mm. The result has all the quality of an DSLR, in
about half the size and weight.
Interchangeable lenses
Compatible with Sony’s E-mount series of smaller, lighter lenses designed specifically for
compact interchangeable lens cameras. Opens up a world of creative options.
APS-C size HD image sensor
The same sensor format that Sony builds into the full-sized DSLRs. With 13 times the area of the
typical image sensor, APS-C makes the difference between “snapshots” and “photographs,”
delivering an exceptional combination of high resolution, high sensitivity and gorgeous, blurred
backgrounds.
HD movie recording
Capture vivid, lifelike HD movies in the PC-friendly MP4 format. Shoot 720/30p high definition or
standard definition 480/30p.

16.2 megapixel resolution
You get incredible detail and gorgeous enlargements. Thanks to the APS-C sensor size and Sony
Exmor™ APS HD CMOS technology, the camera achieves high resolution with no penalty in low-
light sensitivity or sensor noise.
Up to 5.5 frames per second
Capture the decisive moment in sports and get the ideal baby photo. Up to 5.5 fps continuous
shooting at full 16.2 MP resolution with exposure and focus fixed at the first frame. Standard
continuous shooting at up to 2.5 fps.
ISO 12800 sensitivity
Incredibly clear low-light pictures without sacrificing detail. As of June 2011, this is best-in-class
performance, made possible by low-noise Exmor™ APS HD CMOS image sensor and refined
BIONZ® image processor.
3D Sweep Panorama™ Mode
4
Capture vast scenic vistas and 16:9 shots in spectacular 3D. As you sweep across the panorama,
the camera records separate right-eye and left-eye images that make landscapes come alive
on your 3D television4. Records both JPEG and MPO file formats.
Sweep Panorama
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
