SLT-A33
Capture your perfect moments with the world’s first Translucent Mirror Technology™ DSLR enabling
simultaneous focusing and capture. Continuous shooting is 7 frames per second, complete with
continuous auto focus. Auto focus is also visibly faster in Live View and HD Movie modes.
Translucent Mirror Technology™
Other DSLRs can shoot. Or they can
focus with the speed and precision of
Phase Detection AF. They cannot do
both at once. The SLT-A33 is the world’s
first DSLR with Translucent Mirror
Technology™ that directs light to both
the image sensor and the Phase
Detection AF sensor simultaneously.
7 frames per second continuous
The translucent mirror makes it far easier
to capture the decisive soccer kick or
your baby at her absolute cutest. The
Sony® SLT-A33 camera shoots full, 14.2
MP resolution pictures at up to 7 fps
while maintaining continuous auto
focus and auto exposure.
Quick AF for Full HD Movie Capture
When most DSLRs shoot video, their
Contrast AF is slow and visibly “hunts”
for focus. The Quick AF Full HD Movie
retains the same fast, precise Phase
Detection you enjoy for still images. It’s
a decisive advantage for tracking fast-
moving subjects and a major benefit of
Translucent Mirror Technology™ .

14.2 megapixel resolution
You get incredible detail and gorgeous
enlargements. Thanks to the 14.2
megapixel 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.
APS-C size HD CMOS image sensor
With 19.5 times the area of the typical
camcorder image sensor , APS-C
makes the difference between amateur
and professional-looking video,
delivering an exceptional combination
of high resolution, high sensitivity and
gorgeous, blurred backgrounds.

Sony® Exmor™ technology
Conventional image sensors use only a
handful of analog-to-digital (A/D)
converters, which can slow you down.
The Exmor™ sensor provides more than
4,000 column-parallel A/D converters.
This helps enable continuous shooting
at up to 7 frames per second.
Full HD 1080/60i movies
This is one of the very few DSLRs with
1080/60i Full HD, exactly the same
resolution and frame rate as most
broadcast and cable HDTV channels.
Records in 1080/60i AVCHD™ format,
1080/30p high definition in PC-friendly
MP4 format and standard definition
480/30p in MP4 format.

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 Night Shot
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.
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.)
