16.1 MP APS-C size HD image sensor

The same sensor format that Sony builds into the full-sized  DSLRs.  With 13 times the area of the 

typical point-and-shoot image sensor, APS-C makes the difference between “snapshots” and 

“photographs,” delivering an exceptional combination of high resolution, high sensitivity and 

gorgeous, blurred backgrounds.

Fast Hybrid AF

Sony’s advanced Fast Hybrid AF combines two technologies for outstanding performance: 

Phase detection AF for quick response that is ideal when tracking fast-moving subjects and 

contrast-detection AF for added precision.  A perfect match that delivers optimal Auto Focus for 

fast, precise focusing in any scene.

XGA Tru-Finder™ OLED 

There’s never been anything quite like the Tru-Finder™ OLED electronic viewfinder.  For size, 

speed and brightness even after sunset, this is a gem.  This eye-level, through-the-lens, viewfinder 

begins with 2359K dots for amazing resolution and high contrast ratio for incredible depth.  OLED 

reduces motion blur to a bare minimum.  You can also see the results of camera adjustments in 

real time with superb color and detail.
