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

Multi interface shoe
Attach a range of accessories to your camera, like external flashes, studio microphones, and more. The hotshoe powers these fixings to enhance your shooting.

Electronic viewfinder
Take the guesswork out of composing shots. A 201-dot resolution electronic viewfinder gives you a clear, real-time preview with 100% frame coverage – ideal for framing, focusing, and reviewing shots. A built-in eye-sensor automatically switches you between the LCD display and the viewfinder.

Unleash your inner director

Apps to evolve each shot
Get more creative with your shooting. PlayMemories Camera Apps adds more effects and settings to your camera, including time lapse, light shaft, multiple exposure, and more.

Create, connect, and share
There’s only one thing better than taking a great photo, and that’s sharing it. With Wi-Fi® and NFC built-in you can share your best shots in a second. And with the smartphone remote app you’ll always be in control.

Share with Wi-Fi® and NFC
