Get connected. Go further. Go smarter.

Looking for a camera with true, professional performance? Try your phone. All you have to do is place the smart lens against any NFC smartphone to make a connection. Now you have the power and control for some serious photography.

Get connected with any smartphone

Transform any smartphone into a high-performance camera. It’s as simple as it sounds. Mount the smart lens to your phone and start shooting. Your smartphone becomes the camera body: use the touchscreen to shoot, retouch and share photos on Facebook® and Twitter™.

Never be separated by distance

Have some fun with a smart lens. Make a connection – touch the lens against an NFC smartphone for the wireless freedom to shoot angles you couldn’t before. Haven’t got an NFC phone? Connect via Wi-Fi. Be in a group shot: put the lens down and take the photo from your phone.

Bigger is better

Now you have the power of a professional camera on your smartphone. A 1.0-type Exmor R CMOS sensor with 20.2 effective megapixels is four times larger than the sensor in many digital cameras. You can capture detail-packed images with minimum noise even in low light.

Beautiful defocusing

The F1.8 Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* lens has a wide aperture that allows even more light to enter the camera. It's key to creative effects: sharpen the focus of a subject against a smoothly-blurred background using a round, seven-blade diaphragm.

Effortless control

Envisage a shot. You have the controls to make it happen. Download the PlayMemories Mobile app to your phone then adjust the aperture and exposure from your touchscreen. A control ring around the barrel of the lens lets you manually fine-tune the focus and zoom.
