Full-time Continuous AF
Accelerated full-time continuous phase-
detection autofocusing keeps your
subject sharply focused at all times. Even
at maximum continuous shooting speed
and during live-view movie shooting—
thanks to revolutionary Translucent Mirror
Technology. You can clearly capture sports
action and fleeting facial expressions
without resorting to manual focusing. The
speed and precision of phase-detection
autofocusing lets you effortlessly capture
dramatic moments in all types of situations
with professional-looking results.
15-point AF system with
3 cross sensors
The new phase-detection autofocusing
system spreads 15 AF sensors over a wide
AF area to increase your framing freedom
and keep moving subjects in focus. It
includes 3 cross sensors that deliver more
accurate and reliable tracking than
sensors with only vertical or horizontal
detection can achieve. This new AF system
additionally improves autofocusing
performance in low brightness conditions
to ensure precision focusing wherever and
whenever you shoot.
Object Tracking
Focus
Various advances come together in the
a
65 to enable swift, accurate tracking of
fast-moving subjects. Once you designate
your subject on the viewfinder or rear LCD,
Object Tracking Focus utilizes powerful
predictive focusing algorithms and Sony’s
original subject recognition technologies
to track your subject’s every move with
speed and precision. This performance is
supported by blazing-fast BIONZ
®
image
processing and 15 autofocusing points
that are spread over a wide area to better
keep moving subjects in focus.

Dramatically improved BIONZ
®
image processing engine
Sony’s lightning-fast BIONZ processor
employs powerful algorithms to generate
beautiful images from RAW data captured
by the Exmor CMOS image sensor. Fully
optimized to match the characteristics of
the sensor, it delivers extremely accurate
color and rich tonal gradations throughout
the entire dynamic range. Even during
ultra-high-speed continuous shooting
and Full HD movie shooting, it effortlessly
handles the vast information generated by
the 24.3 megapixel CMOS sensor as well
as other intensive tasks such as advanced
digital compositing. Moreover, RAW image
noise reduction
complements dual
noise reduction
in the sensor to
deliver images of
superb quality with
extremely low noise.
New 24.3 megapixel Exmor™
APS HD CMOS sensor
Stunning images brimming with detail are
yours at an astounding 24.3 megapixel
resolution, thanks to Sony’s new proprietary
Exmor APS HD CMOS sensor. This ultra-
high resolution is complemented by an
extra-large sensor size that raises sensitivity
in low-light conditions and strengthens
background defocusing effects. So you
can add depth and drama to virtually
any scene. Dual noise reduction also
significantly reduces noise during analog
and digital signal conversion to ensure
smooth, crystal-clear reproduction even in
low-light conditions.
Approximately 50 millisecond
minimum release time lag
When photo opportunities arise,
accelerated shutter response lets you
capture decisive moments with confidence.
An innovative electronic front curtain
shutter in the image sensor slashes shutter
release time lag to a class-leading 0.05
second* is approximate and produces
less shutter noise and vibration than a
mechanical front curtain shutter. If desired,
a mechanical front curtain shutter can be
activated through the MENU.
Up to 10 fps continuous shooting (in Continuous Advance Priority AE mode)
This professional-level continuous shooting
speed gives you a decisive advantage
when capturing sports action and fleeting
facial expressions. You can capture up to 10
images with clarity and precision at full 24.3
megapixel resolution. Moreover, you can
enjoy the expressive power and flexibility
of interchangeable lenses without slowing
down performance. This extraordinary
response is made possible by innovative
Sony Translucent Mirror Technology.
High sensitivity settings up to ISO 16000
Master virtually any lighting conditions
with extremely high ISO sensitivity and
wide-ranging settings from 100 to 16000—a
range of 7 1/3 steps. Capture the mood of
a candle-lit wedding ceremony with a high
sensitivity setting; the flow of a river with
a low sensitivity setting and slow shutter
speed; or athletes competing indoors with
a high sensitivity setting and high shutter
speed—all with extremely high quality
and low noise courtesy of Sony’s ultra-
sensitive Exmor APS HD CMOS sensor and
advanced BIONZ image processor.
* Speed may vary depending on shooting conditions
and memory card in use.
