Express your creativity with Picture
Effect. These innovative effects transform
your still images and movies into stunning
works of art by adjusting camera
parameters and applying advanced
image processing techniques like
masking and compositing—all within the
camera. Depending on your scene and
creative intentions, you can choose from
11 customizable modes (with 15 effects)
including four incredible new ones: HDR
Painting, Rich-tone Monochrome, Soft
Focus and a Miniature mode that makes
your subject look like a miniature model.
Notes:
• Picture Effect is not available in RAW, RAW+JPG, or Continuous Advance Priority AE modes
• Not all Picture Effect modes are available while recording movies

Auto HDR
High dynamic range (HDR) photography
previously required considerable expertise
and effort. But this amazing Auto HDR function
lets you capture the expanded detail of
HDR photos automatically. With one press,
the
a
65 instantly records three frames at
different exposures and composites the
best details from each—in the highlights,
mid-tones and shadows—to create a single
image with wider dynamic range than any
single exposure could possibly capture. The
resulting HDR image is simply breathtaking
in its detail, rich color and impact. Since
advanced algorithms detect and correct any
misalignment between the three exposures,
it's even possible to capture these remarkable
images without using a tripod. For enhanced
control, you can set the Auto HDR exposure
range to cover six steps, from 1 EV to 6 EV.
Hand-held Twilight
When lighting is low, Hand-held Twilight
mode enables clear flash-free photography
without using a tripod. This handy Scene
Selection mode shoots a burst of six images
at different settings, including an ISO setting
as high as necessary for the scene and a
shutter speed appropriate for handheld
shooting. It then employs proprietary Sony
digital compositing technology and noise
reduction to align and combine the images
and create a single frame with significantly
suppressed blur and noise. The feature
even effectively compensates for camera
and subject movement, making it easy
to take beautiful evening shots with the
camera in your hand.
Multi Frame NR
The Multi Frame NR mode is super
effective at suppressing noise. It allows
you to clearly capture scenes that would
normally be challenging, even for seasoned
professionals. For example, candle-lit
environments can be vividly captured
without using a tripod or flash. Like Hand-
held Twilight, it takes six photos and expertly
composites them to suppress noise and
blur while raising contrast and detail. Unlike
Hand-held Twilight, however, it also allows
manual selection of ISO sensitivity. This
intelligent mode is compatible with any ISO
setting and functions in all P/A/S/M modes,
enabling noise suppression and improved
image quality in any type of lighting. Through
ISO expansion, it can even achieve ultra-high
sensitivity equivalent to ISO 25600.
Dynamic Range Optimizer (DRO)
If the subject’s face is dark in a backlit
situation, DRO uses proprietary Sony
technology to recover details hidden in
the shadows and deliver a naturally bright
image. DRO can even be used during
continuous shooting and provides five user-
selectable levels of compensation.
Sweep Panorama™ Mode / 3D Sweep Panorama Mode
Capture every detail of breathtaking scenes
with a single sweep of the camera. The
a
65
automatically records a sequence of
photos and seamlessly stitches them
together to create a single spectacular
image. Choose 3D Sweep Panorama mode
to produce more dynamic realism when
viewed on a compatible 3D HDTV*.
* Requires HDMI
®
cable (at least 10.2 Gbps) and
3D glasses sold separately.
