Sony’s image stabilization system minimizes “jitter” and “shake” without changing the quality of the image (f 3.5). The CCD shifts to compensate for camera motion of the camera, producing clear images while zooming, shooting moving objects or shooting in low light.
With its combination of Anti-Dust coating on the CCD’s optical low-pass filter and Anti-Dust vibration, Sony has created a static-free environment to ensure clear, high-quality images. This technology causes dust to fall away and remain out of the picture.
This image enhancing technology provides high-resolution images, noise reduction capability and fast access to the memory card. The Bionz image processing engine delivers sharpness and noise reduction.
Add professional-level power to your digital imaging experience with maximum battery life and performance. Shoot up to 750 images on a single charge with the supplied NP-FM55H Rechargeable Lithium-ion Power Pack.
Sony’s imaging technology combines impressive engineering and performance, ensuring your images are captured with outstanding clarity. Experience remarkable precision while capturing outdoor scenes, landscapes, or moments with friends.
The newly-developed imaging system and superior transfer rate of internal DDR-SDRAM memory allow for high-speed image processing, delivering maximum shooting speeds of up to 3 fps (frames per second) for RAW + JPEG images and up to 6 fps for RAW, which means you’ll never miss a moment of the action.
The α Digital SLR Camera automatically focuses on the subject as you look through the viewfinder, displaying a clearer image while shooting. Even before the shutter button is pressed, the image is already in focus. Enjoy simple and flexible shooting delivered by Sony’s α Eye-Start System.
With its advanced shutter control and enhanced sensitivity up to ISO 1600, α offers the power to capture true-to-life images in any situation. The high shutter speed allows less light to pass through the imager and eliminates hand-shake during shooting.
