2nd Generation Translucent Mirror Design
Other DSLRs can shoot. Or they can focus with the speed and
precision of Phase Detection AF. They cannot do both at once.
Sony changes all that with the award-winning Translucent Mirror
Technology system. It directs light to both the image sensor and
the Phase Detection AF sensor simultaneously.
24.3 MP; best-in-class resolution
You get incredible detail and gorgeous ments thanks to an
APS-C sensor with 24.3 megapixels. It's the worlds's first
24.3MPAPS-C DSLR
Upgraded BIONZ image processor
The brain of the camera is a Sony's BIONZ image processor
substantially upgraded for the demands of 24.3 megapixel
photography. Chroma noise reduction delivers high-resolution,
low-noise photos even at ISO 16000. Also enables fast processing
for up to 10 fps continuous shooting of data-intensive 24.3 MP
images, 2D/3D Sweep Panorama modes and 6-image layering.
Sony Exmor technology
Conventional image sensors use only a handful of
analog-to-digital (A/D) converters, which can slow you down. The
Exmor sensor provides more than 5,600 column-parallel A/D
converters. This helps enable continuous shooting at up to 10
frames per second.
Ultra-fast up to 10 fps continuous
The translucent mirror makes it far easier to capture the
decisive soccer kick or your baby at her absolute cutest. Shoots
up to 10 frames per second at full-resolution 24.3 megapixels
with continuous auto focus (AE locked after first frame).
World's first OLED viewfinder
There's never been anything quite like the Tru-Finder OLED
electronic viewfinder. For size, speed and brightness even after
sunset, this is a gem. It begins with 2359K dots for amazing
resolution and high contrast ratio for incredible depth. OLED
reduces motion blur to a bare minimum. You can also see the
results of camera adjustments in real time with superb color and
detail.
Full-Time Live View in LCD or EVF
You can use both the LCD monitor and OLED Electronic Viewfinder
for composing s in Live View. Both provide a
what-you-see-is-what-you-get preview of white balance, focus,
depth of field, exposure and 100% framing accuracy, plus
informative on-screen displays.
Tilt/swivel LCD screen
Tilt it up or down to frame high- and low-angle s that would
otherwise be hit-or-miss. Tilt and swivel under the camera for
self-portraits. Finally, the monitor folds flush to the camera
with the LCD exposed for shooting or protected for travel.
921K dot TruBlack LCD screen
Sony's 3.0-inch Xtra Fine LCD monitor has 921K dots for superb
resolution. The TruBlack screen includes a special resin layer to
suppress internal reflections, increasing contrast compared to
conventional LCDs. Sunny Weather mode boosts visibility even
further.
Graphic Display
Clarifies the relationship between aperture and shutter speed,
as well as the effect each has on photographic results.
HD Movies at 60p, 60i, or 24p
Capture spectacular HD Movies. This is the world's first DSLR to
offer a choice of super-smooth 60p, standard 60i or cinematic
24p, all at Full HD 1920x1080 resolution. AVCHD Progressive codec
delivers stunning picture quality. MP4 codec offers smaller files
for easier upload to the web.
HD movies with full manual control
Now you don't need to surrender control when you shoot HD
movies. Enjoy the full expressive potential of Program, Shutter
Priority, Aperture Priority or Manual (P/A/S/M) control in HD
movie mode.
Full-time Phase Detection AF
You get fast, accurate auto focus in every mode—even HD Movie
and Live View—thanks to Sony's exclusive Translucent Mirror
Technology. While Contrast Detection Auto Focus often hunts for
correct focus, Phase Detection AF knows exactly where correct
focus is, and goes straight for it.
HDMI output for HD viewing
Enjoy HD movies and stunning still images on a compatible HDTV.
The camera includes an HDMI output. In addition, the BRAVIA Sync
system works with compatible Sony BRAVIA HDTVs enabling you to
control camera playback using the television's remote.
15-point Auto Focus
To maximize the value of Translucent Mirror Technology, Sony
incorporates Phase Detection AF of great sophistication. 15
sensors with 3 cross sensors maximize precision for both vertical
and horizontal subjects.
World's shortest release time lag
Helps ensure that the image you want is the image you get. Once
auto focus occurs, release time lag is the delay between fully
pressing the shutter release and when the camera actually starts
taking the picture. Long lag makes it harder to capture
fast-moving objects. The Sony A65 boasts the world's shortest
DSLR release time lag at only 0.05 seconds.
Object Tracking AF
Locks onto a specified object and maintains focus even as the
subject moves. Unpredictable subjects stay in focus even while
zooming. You can concentrate on composition without worrying
about focus. 6-image layering
Leverages the fast BIONZ processor to capture six images in a
fraction of a second, and then combine the data. The result is
one incredible single image that gets a cleaner result in
Multi-Frame NR mode or sharper nighttime pictures in Hand-held
Twilight mode.
Multi-frame NR
Experience incredible low-light shooting without a flash. The
camera captures six images in a fraction of a second. Combining
the data from all six, it creates a single image with a reduction
in noise equivalent to two additional steps of ISO sensitivity.
Sensitivity selectable up to ISO 25600. (Recommended for still
subjects.)
Handheld Twilight mode
Get gorgeous s at night without a tripod. Combines six
frames into a single image for smooth, low-noise evening s.
(Recommended for still subjects.)
Auto HDR built into camera
Captures more scene dynamic range than a single exposure can
handle—and more range than photo film. Combines the best
highlight detail from one , the best mid-tones from a second
and the best shadow detail from a third for one incredible .
(Recommended for still subjects.)
3D Sweep Panorama Mode
Capture vast scenic vistas and 16:9 s in spectacular 3D. As
you sweep across the panorama, the camera records separate
right-eye and left-eye images that make landscapes come alive on
your 3D television. Records both JPEG and MPO file formats.
Sweep Panorama Mode
Capture expansive landscapes automatically. Press the shutter,
sweep vertically or horizontally. The camera does the rest,
continuously shooting images and st them together.
