Image quality

Image quality

It begins with Sony’s leading image sensor technology.

Sony’s Alpha range delivers outstanding image quality with excellent noise reduction capabilities, at up to 61-megapixel1 resolution, using BIONZ XR and BIONZ X Image Processors. 

Every shot and video features a wide dynamic range with smooth outlines and gradation from shadow to highlight as well as natural colour reproduction with an advanced Imaging Processing Algorithm. 

Alpha mirrorless cameras2 are adept at high-burst rate shooting without sacrificing image quality – perfect for sports and wildlife photography. 

Speed

Speed

Never miss a moment with Sony’s Alpha mirrorless system.

With Real-time tracking and Real-time Eye AutoFocus (AF), a split second is all it takes to focus, capture, and process an image. Real-time Eye AF keeps eyes in focus for the perfect shot in pouring rain, a veiled bride’s beaming smile or your pet in action. The AI-based technology even works when subjects are looking down or in scenes with a strong backlight. 

Photographers can also shoot continuously and blackout-free as images are instantly processed with stacked CMOS Sensor technology2. For videographers, the high-speed 120fps video capture delivers professional quality in slow-motion scenes.
