  • It's all in the detail

    The high-resolution 24.3 megapixel CMOS sensor assures detail-packed pictures with excellent contrast and gorgeous colours. Exmor technology cuts noise while signals are converted to digital form. The result? Flawlessly beautiful images.

    Pro-style continuous shooting

    Capture fleeting action with a continuous burst of full-resolution images at up to 10 frames per second. From dynamic sports to momentary expression of portrait subjects - it's a great way to grab that decisive moment.

    Discover the artist within you

    Create a range of artistic styles, with no PC needed. Picture Effect offers a rich palette of options including posterise, partial colour, retro, high-key, mono and toy camera. Preview results in live view mode while shooting stills or movies.

    Amazing HD movies

    Capture smooth, detailed Full HD videos with accurate phase-detection autofocus of moving subjects. Produce beautiful background defocus effects, and enjoy full manual control over focus and exposure modes. Create a cinematic mood with progressive shooting.

    Great pictures from any angle

    The LCD screen tilts up or down for comfortable viewing in different shooting positions. It’s useful if you’re not holding the camera close to your eye: for example of you’re shooting above a crowd or crouching down for an interesting viewpoint.
