<b>Leave nothing to chance</b>
Take the guesswork out of creative photography. The OLED Tru-Finder™ viewfinder accurately shows how shots will look. The 20.1MP sensor captures every tiny detail. And lock-on autofocus puts fast-moving subjects right in your sights. Start to react as one with your camera.
<b>Soak up every detail</b>
Create images with impact with the 20.1MP Exmor® APS HD CMOS sensor. With its wide sensitivity range, it picks up on every little detail - even in low-light conditions. Together with the BIONZ image processing engine, it ensures crisp, clear pictures every time.
<b>What you see is what you shoot</b>
With some viewfinders, shots don’t turn out quite as expected. But the high-contrast OLED Tru-Finder™ gives an accurate, real-time display of the shot you're about to take – right down to camera settings and exposure adjustments. So you can compose with confidence.
<b>Lightning quick shooting</b>
From fast-moving sports to fast-changing facial expressions, capture the moment with a continuous burst of images. A high-performance 15-point autofocus system (with 3 cross sensors) lets you shoot at a rapid 8 frames per second so you can follow the action as it happens.
<b>Film fluid Full HD movies</b>
In the mood for movies instead of photos? Capture smooth, highly detailed Full HD videos with continuous autofocus to track the action – even when you’re zooming in or out. And unlike a DSLR, you can watch the story unfold on the OLED Tru-Finder™ as you film.
<b>Master the art of composition</b>
While some photographers have a natural eye for a shot, most of us could use a little help. Auto Object Framing automatically proposes a pro-style crop of your original picture. Whether you use the suggested version or your original is entirely up to you.
<b>Carry a lens that’s ready for anything</b>
From landscapes to portraits, you're ready for anything with a compact lens that can handle the most frequently used zoom situations. Ideal for everyday shooting, it covers that all-important 18-55mm range, with a smooth autofocus to help you zoom in quietly and accurately.
