background image

Easily create studio quality portraits of still lifes, moving subjects and even macro 

close-ups using the iAuto internal exposure intelligence found in the SLT-A58.  

Simply photograph the subject and the Auto Portrait Framing feature will save 

an additional, optimally framed image in portrait or landscape orientation.  

Combining Face Detection and By Pixel Super Resolution technologies with Rule 

of Thirds, and Auto Object Framing provides enhanced images for beautifully 

composed and appealingly balanced full resolution portraits.

SteadyShot INSIDE™image stabilization

Image stabilization reduces blur by compensating for camera shake. SteadyShot 

INSIDE™ image stabilization is built into the camera body itself. You'll reduce 

blur with every A-mount lens because it provides compensation equivalent to 

approximately 2 to 4.5 additional steps in shutter speed, allowing for more hand 

held opportunities in low light or longer focal lengths.

Advanced 15-point AF system with 3 Cross-sensors

To maximize the value of Translucent Mirror Technology, Sony incorporates Phase 

Detection AF of great sophistication.  Three cross-type sensors to maximize focus 

precision.

Large 2.7” Tilt-able, 460K dot Clear Photo LCD screen

Tilt it up or down to frame high- and low-angle shots that would otherwise be 

hit-or-miss.  Fold it flush to the camera with the LCD exposed for shooting or 

protected for travel.

Auto HDR built into camera

Captures more scene dynamic range than a single exposure can handle—and 

more range than photo film.  Combines the best highlight detail from one shot, 

the best mid-tones from a second and the best shadow detail from a third 

for one incredible shot.  Captures in a split second.  (Recommended for still 

subjects.)

Picture Effects

Ordinary scenes become extraordinary photos and movies with Picture Effects. 

Choose from 11 modes and 15 effects that significantly increase visual impact by 

adjusting camera parameters and applying advanced processing techniques.

Multi-frame NR

Experience incredible low-light shooting without a flash.  The camera captures 

six images in a fraction of a second.  Combining the data from all six, it creates a 

single image with a reduction in noise equivalent to two additional steps of ISO 

sensitivity. Sensitivity selectable up to ISO 25600. (Recommended for still subjects.)

Hand-held Twilight

Get cleaner and sharper nighttime pictures—beyond the capability of 

traditional cameras—without using flash or a tripod.  The camera captures six 

images in a fraction of a second.  Combining the data with separate algorithms 

for still and moving parts of the picture reduces blur, minimizes noise and enables 

extraordinary detail.
