Key Features

20.1 MP Exmor® HD APS sensor with 5 FPS continuous shooting

Every scene is captured beautifully, from corner to corner, with fine details and 

rich tonal gradations thanks to Sony’s proprietary Exmor™ APS HD CMOS sensor. 

Its large size delivers high sensitivity, attractive defocusing effects, and low noise 

in wide-ranging shooting situations including dimly lit environments. Impressive 

20.1-effective-megapixel resolution also brings every detail to life.

Translucent Mirror Technology™ accelerates AF performance

Sony’s Translucent Mirror Technology™ simultaneously directs light to the image 

sensor and AF sensor on a continuous basis to realize full-time live view shooting 

and accelerated full-time continuous phase-detection autofocusing even 

during HD movie shooting. It’s the cornerstone of Sony interchangeable-lens 

camera technology.

Create movies of amazing clarity at Full HD resolution with full-time continuous 

phase-detection AF, the same swift, accurate focusing used during still 

photography. Movies can be recorded at 60i for super smooth playback or 24p 

for a rich cinematic look. You can also use P/A/S/M exposure modes to expand 

your movie making creativity.

Lock-on AF for even easier focusing of moving subjects

Now it’s easier than ever to keep moving subjects in focus. Using Sony 

Translucent Mirror Technology and subject size detection, the new Lock-on AF 

continuously adjusts target frame size based on various subject characteristics 

and dramatically increases the in-focus rate. Even if your subject’s face cannot 

be detected, it ensures smooth, stable focusing using the optimal AF point — 

without having to search. 

High Contrast SVGA OLED Tru-Finder EVF

The OLED viewfinder makes it easy to shoot stills and movies in almost any 

lighting condition and allows for live-view shooting thanks to Translucent Mirror 

Technology™.  The ultra-sharp, bright 1.44 million dot display provides 100% field-

of-view frame coverage that is perfect for accurately monitoring results as you 

shoot.

Up to ISO 16000 sensitivity with advanced noise reduction

With a new Exmor™ sensor that features the same adaptive noise reduction 

technology from Sony’s flagship SLT-A99V, the SLT-A58 easily offers a wide range 

of sensitivity from ISO 100 to ISO 16000. Even in dim lighting, you can shoot 

beautiful photos with natural tonal gradations and low noise — without using a 

flash. Auto ISO provides outstanding results in most lighting situations and you 

can select settings manually to suit particular occasions. Excellent low-light 

performance is made possible by cutting-edge features like the same area-

specific noise reduction as found on the
