Engine
For richly detailed images with smooth
tonal gradations, nothing beats Exmor
and BIONZ technology. The new APS-C
size sensor with 16.1 megapixels has
the same surface area as sensors found
in larger advanced-class DSLRs—an
advantage that translates into superb
image quality. Signal noise that can
degrade image quality has been
markedly reduced thanks to proprietary
processing technologies at the sensor,
which cut noise before image data
is sent to the processor. After this, the
powerful BIONZ image processing engine
converts the vast amounts of data into
beautiful, high-quality photos and movies.
Wide-ranging AUTO ISO and ultra-high sensitivity of 25600
The AUTO ISO sensitivity range of ISO 100
to 3200 lets you shoot handheld in dimly
lit situations without a flash or tripod.
For particularly difficult situations, such
as when a fast shutter speed is needed
to freeze action in low light, ISO can be
manually boosted to 25600. And even at
high ISO speeds, advanced BIONZ image
processing dramatically reduces noises
for cleaner images.
