digital camera
Specifications and features are subject to change without notice.
*1 Phase-detection AF may not work with certain lenses or may require software update. See Sony support page for details. *2 With compatible Sony external flash. *3 With compatible external flash. *4 Varies according to shooting conditions or memory card used. *5 Images shot in Pixel Shit Multi Shooting mode
can be processed using a dedicated imaging software by Sony. Maximum flash-sync speed is limited to 1/13 second. *6 Supports Micro USB compatible device. *7 (Configuration method/Access method) WPS or manually /infrastructure mode. When connecting to smartphones, the camera can always work as a base
without a wireless access point. (Security: WEP/WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK) *8 Sony accessories for the Accessory Shoe can be attached. *9 The LCD screen is turned on, shot once every 30 seconds, operate zoom alternately between W and T ends, flash strobe once every two times, turn power off and on once every ten
times. *10 Continuous movie recording is possible for approximately 29 minutes (limited by product specifications). *11 Indication recording time, which is defined by repeating the cycle: Power on, start recording, zoom , stand-by and power off. *12 The total movie recording time. When the limit of the continuous
movie recording time (29 minutes) is reached, let the camera continue movie recording by pressing the MOVIE button again. No other operation such as zoom is performed.

This high-resolution Quad-VGA OLED
Tru-Finder has approximately 3.69
million dots for fine detail and high
contrast for accurate black reproduc-
tion. High luminance brings view-
finder brightness closer to that of the
actual scene. The high quality of the
viewfinder image and features like
focus magnification make it easier to
achieve perfect focus with just about
any subject in any situation.

The latest high-speed front-end

reducing noise by as much as a full
stop** in the mid sensitivity range.
A sublime blend of high resolution
and low noise is ensured over a wide
sensitivity range, for outstanding
image quality and color accuracy that
are ideal for portraits and landscape
photography.
To ensure maximum reliability in
harsh conditions, body durability
has been enhanced by the use of a
102400 at the high end for wide cover-
age that can capture low-light scenes
with high quality and low noise.
lightweight, high-rigidity magne-
sium alloy for the top cover, front
cover, internal frame, and rear cover.
The digital output from the image
sensor’s AD converter is processed
in 16-bit form by the front-end LSI
and BIONZ X processor before being
output as compressed or uncom-
pressed 14-bit RAW files. The result
is smoother, more natural gradations
that contribute to higher overall im-
age quality. The enhanced image
processing system makes 14-bit RAW
output available even when shooting
in silent or continuous mode.*
“Standard” and “High” quality settings
are available for the viewfinder and
monitor. “High” takes advantage of the
large amount of data read from the
42.4 effective megapixel sensor to pro-
vide extra fine viewfinder and monitor
displays for a more natural view.
Increased lens mount rigidity maxi-
mizes durability when using heavy
optics, and the grip has been rede-
signed and unified with the front

images containing a total of approx-

imately 169.6 million pixels* that are
later composited using a computer
to achieve overwhelming subjec-
tive resolution in a single image. Still
images are captured with true-to-
life details, texture, and color, with
minimal moiré and color artifacts.
Notes A dedicated software application is required for compositing. Image compositing
may not be successful if camera or subject movement causes blur. The use of a tri-
pod is recommended, as is the use of PC tethered control or a remote commander
(when PC tethered control is not being used) where possible. Uncompressed RAW
and silent mode are automatically selected for Pixel Shift Multi shooting. Some
restrictions apply to flash and other devices. Refer to the Sony support site for
details.

Lifelike detail, texture, color, and atmosphere
NEW
In a “normal” digital capture each pixel represents just
one color: red, green, or blue. The surrounding pixels
are used to supply the necessary extra information
required to interpolate and reproduce the remaining
two primary colors. Pixel Shift Multi Shooting, however,
composites four pixel-shifted images so that each of the
sensor’s 42.4 million effective pixels can represent red,
green, and blue values simultaneously. Extra interpola-
tion becomes unnecessary so the data from the sensor
can be directly synthesized to recreate the final colors.
The result is unprecedented reproduction accuracy and
detail for true-to-life textures. Images shot using this
feature can be processed using the dedicated PC soft-
ware from Sony running on a personal computer.
1) RGB color information
acquired at a 1:2:1 ratio.

Radio Wireless Flash
HVL-F45RM
This Multi Battery Adaptor Kit houses up to four NP-FZ100
rechargeable battery packs and connects to the camera via
a plug-in plate, providing dramatically extended operat-
ing time for sessions that can’t be interrupted by battery
changes. The NPA-MQZ1K also supports power supply from
NP-FW50*2. It includes two USB ports so that power can be
delivered to the camera and a USB device simultaneously.
LED indicators show the remaining power for each battery.
Three tripod mount sockets on the upper surface and three
on the lower surface provide flexible mounting options.
The VG-C3EM Vertical Grip makes shooting in vertical
orientation just as efficient and comfortable as horizontal
orientation with a full complement of essential controls, in-
cluding a duplicate Multi-Selector. The grip shape is identi-
cal to the grip on the camera body, so no hold adjustment is
required. The VG-C3EM features a magnesium alloy exterior
for high rigidity and durability, and the design is dust and
moisture resistant*2 for maximum reliability.
The HVL-F45RM is compact and convenient for use in the
field or studio, delivering up to Guide Number 45*1 power
with less than a 2.5-second*2 recycle time. It can be used as
a wireless radio commander or receiver, and when used as
a commander can control up to 15 compatible off-camera
flash units or receivers in up to 5 groups*3. Radio wireless
works at distances up to 30 meters*4, providing reliable
operation without pairing errors.
In addition to supplying power, the NPA-MQZ1K also
functions as rapid charger, Four NP-FZ100 batteries can be
charged to 90% level in approximately 480 minutes.
The VG-C3EM not only provides space for two NP-FZ100
rechargeable battery packs, significantly extending operat-
ing time, but it also allows the batteries to be charged via
the camera USB connector so the batteries don’t have to be
removed from the grip.
The HVL-F45RM also provides high-visibility tabbed menus
and a Quick Navi interface for easy, intuitive operation.
Customizable keys give you direct access to the functions
you use the most. The flash bounce head rotates and tilts for
flexible lighting in a wide range of situations, and the overall
design is dust and moisture resistant*5 for high reliability.
