20MP 1-Inch BSI-CMOS Sensor: Larger than typical compact camera sensors, the 1-inch type sensor captures more light for better image quality and dynamic range.
BIONZ X Image Processor: Sony's BIONZ X engine handles noise reduction and image rendering, supporting the full ISO 125–12800 sensitivity range.
Optical SteadyShot Stabilization: Lens-based optical image stabilization reduces blur from camera shake without applying a digital crop to the image.
10fps Burst Shooting: Speed Priority burst mode captures up to 10 frames per second, useful for fast-moving subjects.
Pop-Up OLED Viewfinder: The built-in 1,440,000-dot SVGA OLED EVF retracts flush with the body and provides a high-resolution framing alternative to the rear screen.
180° Tilting LCD Screen: The 3.0-inch 1,228,800-dot display tilts 180° upward and 45° downward, making self-facing and low-angle shots practical.
