multi-stage
noise reduction
The uses advanced technologies at every stage
of image acquisition and processing to reduce
electrical signal noise that can degrade image quality,
especially with long exposures or at high ISO
sensitivity settings. During shooting, the Exmor™ CMOS
sensor’s on-chip circuitry suppresses noise both
before and after analogue-to-digital signal conversion.
Within the BIONZ™ image processing engine, noise
reduction is also applied during both RAW data
conversion and image processing to ensure an
absolute minimum of noise in the fi nal image data.
In addition, high ISO noise reduction is automatically
applied when shooting at ISO 1600 or more.
Since Super SteadyShot
®
stabilisation takes
place inside the camera body, it provides
effective image stabilisation with any or
compatible A-mount Dynax/Maxxum lens.
Sensitivity is selectable from
ISO 100 to 3200. ISO 6400 is also
available in expanded mode.

Improved body-integrated image
stabilisation that works with any lens
The incorporates an improved version of the
Super SteadyShot optical image stabilisation system
to reduce blurring caused by camera shake. Unlike
lens-based systems, Super SteadyShot is built into the
camera body. It works by shifting the image sensor,
providing protection against blurring that works with
any lens. What’s more, the enhanced system’s more
effective stabilisation now enables shooting at shutter
speeds from 2.5 to 4 stops slower than would otherwise
be possible – so even shots that would normally require
the use of a tripod or fl ash can be taken handheld.
At settings of ISO 1600 or higher, High
ISO noise reduction is automatically
activated to reduce image noise.
Reduction level can be selected
from High, Normal or Low.
