30x zoom lens with integrated Zeiss quality: Experience the result of more than 150 years of Zeiss expertise in precision optics. This 24-720 mm lens provides natural, razor-sharp images with high contrast from every perspective, whether for portrait, close-up, or landscape photography. In addition, the Zeiss T* anti-reflective multiple coating reduces ghost effects and light reflections on the lens surface.

Exmor RCMOS sensor for particularly high sensitivity: The more light falls on a sensor, the more brilliant the images become. The 18.2-megapixel Exmor RCMOS sensor effectively captures four times more light than conventional sensors. It is also twice as light-sensitive and reduces noise using Sony's A/D conversion technology.

Bionz X for more detail and less noise: Using technologies for detail rendering, diffraction reduction, and area-specific noise reduction, the Bionz X Image Processor converts data from the Exmor RCMOS sensor to high-resolution images. This combination enables extremely precise and realistic images with even more lifelike colors and textures.

Fast Wi-Fi/NFC connection for easy sharing: Built-in NFC (Near Field Communication) technology lets you quickly establish Wi-Fi connectivity to Android mobile devices. Share your favorite photos and videos in seconds by transferring them directly from the camera to your friends' and family members' smartphones or tablets. With PlayMemories Mobile, you can even remotely control the camera from your mobile device.

180° tilting LCD display for easy image composition: The high-resolution LCD display on the back of the camera can be tilted up to 180 degrees. Thus, even if you are in front of the camera, you can easily check the composition of the image on the LCD display before making a selfie, for example. This flexible LCD display also provides convenient handling and positioning for shots from a frog's perspective.
