D-Range Optimizer brings out high- light and shadow detail in any light
The D-Range Optimizer uses original Sony technology to bring out natural highlight
and shadow detail in high contrast lighting conditions. That can be a huge advantage
whenshootingportraitsandactivesubjects.High-speedBIONZprocessingmeansit
can even be used for continuous shooting.

Multi Frame NR achieves
ultra-low-noise imaging
MultiFrameNRrealizesextremelylow
noise by automatically capturing six
frames at high speed using the current
shutter speed, aperture, and ISO settings,
and seamlessly combining them into
asinglelow-noiseJPEGimageusing
sophisticated motion-detection and
digital compositing technologies. The
amount of noise reduction achieved
can be as much as two ISO steps. At

ultra-high sensitivity that is equivalent to
