NEX-3D/P
Smallest in class
This is the world's smallest interchangeable lens digital still camera (as of April 2010). We removed the
conventional mirror box, AF sensor and viewfinder, reducing the "flange back" distance from 44.5 mm
to 18 mm. The result has all the quality of an α DSLR, but is 48% smaller and 49% lighter than our α230.
Interchangeable lenses
Compatible with Sony's E-mount series of smaller, lighter lenses designed specifically for α compact
interchangeable lens cameras. Opens up a world of creative options.
APS-C size HD image sensor
The same sensor format that Sony builds into the full-sized α DSLRs. With 13 times the area of the
typical
3
image sensor, APS-C makes the difference between “snapshots” and “photographs,” delivering
an exceptional combination of high resolution, high sensitivity and gorgeous, blurred backgrounds.
HD movie recording
Capture vivid, lifelike HD movies in the PC-friendly MP4 format. Shoot 720/30p high definition or
standard definition 480/30p.

14.2 megapixel resolution
You get incredible detail and gorgeous enlargements. Thanks to the APS-C sensor size and Sony
Exmor™ APS HD CMOS technology, the camera achieves high resolution with no penalty in low-light
sensitivity or sensor noise.
Up to 7 frames per second
Capture the decisive moment in sports and get the ideal baby photo. Up to 7 fps continuous shooting
at full 14.2 MP resolution with exposure and focus fixed at the first frame. Standard continuous shooting
at up to 2.3 fps.
ISO 12800 sensitivity
Incredibly clear low-light pictures without sacrificing detail. As of April 2010, this is best-in-class
performance, made possible by low-noise Exmor™ APS HD CMOS image sensor and refined BIONZ®
image processor.
Sweep Panorama
Capture expansive landscapes automatically. Press the shutter, sweep vertically or horizontally. The
camera does the rest, continuously shooting images and stitching them together. Up to 23 MP image
size. Up to 202 degrees maximum sweep angle (16mm focal length).
3D Panorama
Captures scenic vistas in spectacular 3D. As you sweep across the panorama, the camera records
separate right-eye and left-eye images that make landscapes come alive on your 3D television.

Anti Motion Blur mode
Corrects for subject movement to capture amazingly clean and sharp images in low light. The camera
leverages the large, APS-C image sensor and captures six images in a fraction of a second. Combining
the data from all six creates a single image that minimizes subject blur.
Hand-held Twilight Mode
Corrects for subject movement to capture amazingly clean and sharp images in low light. The camera
leverages the large, APS-C image sensor and captures six images in a fraction of a second. Combining
the data from all six creates a single image that minimizes subject blur.
