Maximum Details Anytime, Anywhere Capture every gorgeous detail with Sony‘s 20.1-megapixel Exmor™ APS HD CMOS sensor, which produces attractive defocusing effects thanks to its large dimensions. Compelling Realism In Every Frame Sony‘s BIONZ X™ image processing engine faithfully reproduces textures and details in real time, as seen by the naked eye, via extra high-speed processing capabilities. It enables more natural details, more realistic images, richer tonal gradations and lower noise whether you shoot still images or movies. Share Images With One Touch Share photos and MP4 movies in an instant by simply touching the camera to your friend‘s Android™ smartphone or tablet1. This remarkably convenient wireless feature is made possible by built-in Wi-Fi and NFC™ (Near Field Communication) technology that also works with preinstalled Smart Remote Control Embedded2 to enable remote control of your camera from the smartphone or tablet. 1 Requires installation of the latest free downloadable PlayMemories Mobile app 2 If the mobile device is not compatible with NFC, the camera can still connect via Wi-Fi.
A Flash Of Brilliance When you need a little extra burst of light, the built-in pop-up flash (GN4; ISO 100·m) does the trick. Combined with the α5000‘s maximum sensitivity of ISO 16000, the flash ensures lovely photos in dimly lit interiors or at night. Various flash modes can be used to add appealing catch lights to portraits, convey a sense of motion, etc. Note: When using the included E PZ 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 OSS (SELP1650) lens, illumination from the built-in flash may be partially obstructed at wide-angle focal lengths.
