Full Details

4K Image Quality

Shoot 4K that contains about four times more detail than Full HD.

New Sensor Exclusively for 4K

A newly developed lens and image sensor enhance the spectacular definition of 4K resolution3, with particular sensitivity for capturing high-quality movies in low light.

New ZEISS™ 20x zoom 4K lens

This new lens helps to depict remarkable details of high-quality 4K images throughout its wide-angle-to-telephoto range. The use of an AA (advanced Aspherical) lens not only keeps depiction faithful - it also keeps the lens unit compact. ED (extra-low dispersion) lens helps to ensure accurate reproduction of colour. Multilayer Zeiss T* coating further enhances image quality by reducing unwanted reflection, such as ghost and flare.

Super Wide Angle Lens

ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T* lens with 26.8mm widest angle allows more of a subject to fit in frame.

New Exmor R™ CMOS sensor for 4K

Bigger pixel size improves sensitivity for shooting movies with less noise, even in darkness.

Super-sampled Full HD Playback

4K movies automatically down-convert to Full HD to play on an HD TV.

Trimming Playback

Trace a finger on the LCD to trim frame of 4K movie playing on TV in Full HD.

Balanced Optical SteadyShot

For extra-stable movie shooting from wide to telephoto. In HD shooting mode, 5-axis Intelligent Active mode further compensates for camera shake, even when shooting while running.

Sony’s Balanced Optical SteadyShot™ is a unique stabiliser, with a gimbal mechanism about 13 times more effective than other optical systems. Capture smooth, professional-looking images, even at full zoom or while running, with no need for bulky external gimbals.

Unlike conventional optical image stabilisation using a single lens element, Sony’s Balanced Optical SteadyShot manipulates the entire lens unit and image sensor together — effective for even high zoom and strong camera shake correction.

Fast Intelligent AF speeds up smartly

A new AF algorithm optimises communication between lens and image processor for extra-fast AF, and a state-of-the-art AF range prediction system keeps the subject in sharp focus.

See times change with 4K time-lapse movies

With Time-lapse Capture, shoot stills of a scene over a period of time with a chosen interval between each shot and edit the sequence into a high-quality 4K time-lapse movie.

Record Time Code and User Bit data

These functions are indispensable for advanced editing. Optional remote commanders can make editing more convenient, as well.
