Image quality

Learn how professional quality lenses and powerful digital camera sensors deliver high image quality. With Cyber-shot™ you’ll notice a clear difference in colour and detail for your photos and movies.

Exmor R™ digital camera sensor for clear low-light images

Natural detail even in low light

Capture more beauty and ambience in your photos and movies using the available natural light in low-light conditions such as twilight or dimly lit interiors with the Exmor R™ CMOS Sensor. Your photos will have less noise or ‘grainy’ effect, even without a flash, as the sensor is 2 times as sensitive as a conventional sensor and works with the high speed BIONZ processor to process images rapidly for crisp results.

Capture more image detail with iAuto and Superior Auto

High quality results with no fuss

Make sure you use the right settings every time. iAuto mode automatically chooses the correct settings to suit the movie or photo scene you want to capture. Superior Auto helps you capture clearly exposed DSLR quality photos by taking multiple shots of the same scene and combining them into one single image with the perfect balance of highlights and dark shadow detail. It makes taking great photos effortless.

Extra clarity with high quality lenses See the difference in your photos and movies with a high quality lens. Capture clear images, vivid colours and low distortion at all zoom settings with a Carl Zeiss lens. Give your photography vivid atmospheric results and precise detail with the high performance G Lens.

Zoom in and capture detail from a distance Take detailed close-up shots from a long distance without distorting the quality of your photo when you zoom in with up to 30x Optical Zoom on select Cyber-shot cameras.* Unlike a digital zoom – which only digitally enlarges the middle of the image – the Optical Zoom uses the physical elements in the lens to truly zoom in.
