Stunning image quality through fixed-lens design
The integrated fixed lens structure optimizes image quality from the premium ZEISS® Sonnar T* 35mm F2 lens and the advanced full-frame 61-megapixel1 Exmor R™ back-illuminated CMOS image sensor while keeping the size ultra-compact.

Full-frame 61-megapixel1 Exmor R™ image sensor
High resolution, high sensitivity, low noise, and a wide dynamic range is achieved through the back-illuminated sensor's noise reduction, gapless on-chip lenses, anti-reflection optical coating, elimination of the optical low-pass filter that is usually positioned in front of the sensor and other original technologies from Sony.

Powerful BIONZ XR image processing engine
The latest BIONZ XR image processing engine delivers the full potential of the image sensor, rendering details with natural gradations and textures with realistic color, low noise and superior image quality. Processing is remarkably fast boosting still image and movie processing power while maintaining stress-free instant menu response regardless of the real-time processing load.

Superb resolution and beautiful bokeh
The integrated fixed-lens configuration of the exceptional ZEISS® Sonnar T* 35mm F2 lens has been meticulously designed to achieve the full optical performance potential of the camera through optimization of the positioning of the lens and its focal plane at the micron level.

Macro shooting
The ability to move in close and capture minute details offers greatly expanded creative possibilities. The macro ring on the lens barrel allows quick switching between normal and macro modes with a minimum focus distance of just 20 cm and 0.26x maximum magnification for impressive close-up and macro performance.

Instantly switch between three angles of view with Step Crop Shooting2
Enjoy various expressions with different focal lengths as if carrying three different lenses. The Step Crop Shooting function2 allows you to get closer to the subject without stepping forward by switching between 35mm (60 MP), 50mm (29 MP), and 70mm (15 MP) equivalents with a simple one-touch operation. Even when you can’t approach the subject, you can shoot up to 70mm equivalent while maintaining a high resolution of 15 MP1.

Lifelike color
Sony’s latest high speed image processing engine and AE algorithm make it possible to detect facial skin areas and automatically adjust exposure for optimum brightness and tone, even when the face is backlight, in strong direct sunlight, or facing sideways away from the camera. The advanced algorithm not only ensures excellent skin tones, but also reproduces the natural colors of the sky and foliage with lifelike fidelity.
-
Creative Look
Twelve Creative Look presets are provided, including three film-style looks (FL, FL2 and FL3) and can either be used as they are or customized via eight adjustable parameters. The presets provide a wide range of variations with different combinations of color, color depth, brightness, contrast, and sharpness.

Wide, high-density AF reliably captures subjects
The high speed BIONZ XR processing engine and the latest processing algorithms result in significantly improved AF (autofocus) performance. 693 phase-detection points9 in a high-density focal plane phase-detection AF system cover approximately 78% of the image area when shooting stills.
-
Accurate AF in low EV -4.0 light
Autofocus in challenging low-light conditions. The latest AF algorithms achieve high AF precision down to light levels as low as EV-4.0 in AF-S mode (ISO 100 equivalent). AF is precise and dependable even in low light.
