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.

OFFON

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.

Since Super SteadyShot® stabilisation takes place inside the camera body, it provides effective image stabilisation with anyor compatible A-mount Dynax/Maxxum lens.

Improved body-integrated image stabilisation that works with any lens

Theincorporates 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.
