Superb imaging quality and quick, responsive shooting
Enjoy all the freedom of Quick AF Live View shooting with super-fast responses, generous creative options and very high quality, low noise images

It’s all in the detail
The high-resolution CMOS sensor assures detail-packed pictures with excellent contrast and gorgeous colours. Exmor technology cuts noise while signals are converted to digital form. The result? Flawlessly beautiful images.

Super-fast shooting that’s always in focus
Absolutely sharp focus is a mark of pro-quality images that really stand out. Manual Focus Check Live View previews clear, bright full-resolution images on the LCD screen for accurate checking. You can zoom in on screen to confirm pin-sharp clarity of the finest details. It’s great for macro photography, portraits, still life and architectural scenes where perfect focus is critical.

For a better view of the big picture
Connect your α camera to any HD Ready television and enjoy a big, beautiful view of your pictures. If your BRAVIA TV supports PhotoTV HD, you’ll enjoy even incredibly lifelike HD images, packed with detail and vibrant colours.

Control the show in comfort
Connect the camera to your BRAVIA television - then effortlessly control playback functions with your BRAVIA TV’s remote. There’s no need to get up from your favourite chair to enjoy the show in sparkling HD.

Great pictures from any angle
The LCD screen tilts up or down for comfortable viewing in different shooting positions. It’s really useful if you’re not holding the camera close to your eye: for example of you’re shooting above a crowd or crouching down for an interesting viewpoint.
