Capture your perfect moments with the world

’

s first Translucent Mirror Technology

™

DSLR enabling simultaneous focusing and capture.

Continuous shooting is 7 frames per second, complete with continuous auto focus. Auto focus is also visibly faster in Live View and HD

Movie modes.

Translucent Mirror Technology

™

Other DSLRs can shoot. Or they can

focus with the speed and precision of

Phase Detection AF. They cannot do

both at once. The SLT

-A33 is the world’

s

first DSLR with Translucent Mirror

Technology™ that directs light to both

the image sensor and the Phase

Detection AF sensor simultaneously.

7 frames per second continuous

The translucent mirror makes it far easier

to capture the decisive soccer kick or

your baby at her absolute cutest. The

Sony® SLT-A33 camera shoots full, 14.2

MP resolution pictures at up to 7 fps

while maintaining continuous auto

focus and auto exposure.

Quick AF for Full HD Movie

Capture

When most DSLRs shoot video, their

Contrast AF is slow and visibly “

hunts

”

for focus. The Quick AF Full HD Movie

retains the same fast, precise Phase

Detection you enjoy for still images. It’

s

a decisive advantage for tracking fast-

moving subjects and a major benefit of

Translucent Mirror Technology

™.

14.2 megapixel resolution

You get incredible detail and gorgeous

enlargements. Thanks to the 14.2

megapixel APS-C sensor size and

Sony® Exmor™ APS HD CMOS

technology, the camera achieves high

resolution with no penalty in low-light

sensitivity or sensor noise.

APS-C size HD CMOS image sensor

With 19.5 times the area of the typical

camcorder image sensor , APS-C

makes the difference between amateur

and professional-looking video,

delivering an exceptional combination

of high resolution, high sensitivity and

gorgeous, blurred backgrounds.

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

4,000 column-parallel A/D converters.

This helps enable continuous shooting

at up to 7 frames per second.

Full HD 1080/60i movies

This is one of the very few DSLRs with

1080/60i Full HD, exactly the same

resolution and frame rate as most

broadcast and cable HDTV channels.

Records in 1080/60i AVCHD™ format,

1080/30p high definition in PC-friendly

MP4 format and standard definition

480/30p in MP4 format.

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.)

Hand-

held Night Shot

Get cleaner and sharper nighttime

pictures

—beyond the capability of

traditional cameras—without using

flash or a tripod. The camera captures

six images in a fraction of a second.

Combining the data with separate

algorithms for still and moving parts of

the picture reduces blur, minimizes noise

and enables extraordinary detail.

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 shot, the best mid-tones from a

second and the best shadow detail

from a third for one incredible shot.

Captures in a split second.

(Recommended for still subjects.)

3D Sweep Panorama™ Mode

Capture vast scenic vistas and 16:9

shots in spectacular 3D.

As you sweep

across the panorama, the camera

records separate right

images that make landscapes come

alive on your 3D television
