Big zoom, total control

Zoom and shoot with complete precision with this compact, digital camera. Enjoy a whole range of picture-enhancing technologies, including 30x optical zoom, a 20.4MP Exmor™ R CMOS sensor, and image stabilisation – for smooth, precise detail, whether the scene is up close or far away.

20.4MP Exmor R CMOS sensor

Bring out the detail, even in low light. A back-illuminated 20.4MP Exmor R CMOS sensor has wide receptive areas to allow more light and detail into every frame.

BIONZ X image processor

Expect truer colour rendering, better noise reduction, and faster burst mode shooting with the BIONZ X image processor – it’s 3x more powerful than our previous BIONZ processor, for images of the highest quality

Sony G Lens

Hold steady and zoom in

30x optical zoom

A Sony G lens with 30x optical zoom is perfect for getting up close to capture wildlife, sunsets, and more in pin-sharp clarity.

Optical SteadyShot

The lens moves gyroscopically and compensates for movements caused by shooting handheld, giving you amazingly sharp pictures across the focal range.

Track the action

Never lose sight of the perfect shot. Lock-on autofocus automatically adjusts frame size based on the characteristics of your subject for clear and defined results.
