Shoot clear, crisp photos in any light conditions


See more detail with a bigger sensor: 20.2 effective megapixels 1.0-type Exmor R® CMOS sensor ensures bright, clear detail in all your photos and Full HD video.

No noise, just smooth images: back-illumination technology inside the sensor collects light more efficiently to ensure minimal levels of noise.

Refined details: the high-speed BIONZ imaging processor powers rapid shooting up to 10fps and flawlessly clean, natural images.

Capture more light, shoot better pictures: with an extra-wide F1.8 aperture, the bright Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* lens lets you create smooth defocus effects.

Explore every angle with a tiltable LCD screen: view and frame a shot clearly, the tiltable LCD screen is fast, flexible and works in bright sunlight + new LCD screen shows more details.

Add all the extras with a Multi Interface Shoe: easily attach shooting accessories like an electronic viewfinder, external flash or a stereo microphone.

Instant sharing with NFC one-touch connection: meet the first NFC-enabled Cyber-shot™. Place your camera against an NFC smartphone, tablet or TV to instantly share your images.

Share photos online with built-in Wi-Fi: take a shot and upload it straightaway to show friends on Facebook® or Twitter™.

A touch of style: enjoy a sleek, compact camera with a strong aluminium design that won’t weigh you down.

Fine-tune images like a pro: the smooth control ring allows intuitive, fingertip adjustment of exposure, zoom, picture effect and other functions.

Movies at the touch of a button: take advantage of a large sensor and bright lens and shoot smooth Full HD 1080p videos or try 24p videos for a cinematic look.

Smooth and steady: SteadyShot Active Mode corrects shaky camera movements, even while you’re walking or zooming; also compensates for rolling motion.

Sharp results made easy: Superior Auto Mode adjusts camera settings automatically for sharp images with low noise and high dynamic range.

Get creative with picture effect settings: transform landscapes and portraits with 13 picture effect settings, give your photo a retro look or soft focus, get experimenting.

Capture high-quality images in RAW format: shoot in 14-bit RAW format and then manipulate and process the image yourself – you decide how every shot looks.
