Lens detailZEISS Vario-Sonnar T*, physical 4.3–215 mm; 15 elements in ten groups with one Super ED, two ED and three aspherical elements. Seven-blade iris; 55 mm filter thread. Equivalent 24–1200 mm applies to 4:3 stills; movie field of view changes with stabilisation. Clear Image Zoom and digital zoom are distinct from optical magnificationSony G ten-times optical zoom, nine elements in seven groups including four aspherical elements; actual 4.45–44.5 mm. Equivalent 25–250 mm for 4:3 photographs or 27.5–275 mm for 16:9 photographs. Movie 16:9 Standard stabilisation 27.5–275 mm, Active 27.5–385 mm; 4:3 Standard 33.5–335 mm, Active 33.5–469 mm
AutofocusSingle-shot AF, direct manual focus and manual focus; continuous AF for Advanced Sports and movies. Wide, centre and flexible spot areas with subject tracking. Minimum AF distance from lens front approximately 1 cm wide or 240 cm telephotoNine-point multipoint, centre, spot, tracking and face-tracking AF, with AF illuminator; approximately 5 cm minimum focus wide or 150 cm telephoto
ShutterManual and shutter priority 30–1/4000 second; aperture priority 8–1/2000, Program 1–1/4000 and Intelligent Auto 4–1/4000Intelligent Auto 4–1/1600 second; Program Auto 1–1/1600 second
Burst detailMaker maximum approximately 10 fps at maximum image resolution, for up to ten photographsMaximum approximately 10 fps at full resolution for ten frames; this is a brief buffered burst rather than sustained continuous shooting. Some modes prevent burst shooting, and flash reduces its speed
Stabilisation detailOptical SteadyShot for stills; Intelligent Active movie mode combines optical and electronic compensation, including rotation, with a cropped field of viewOptical SteadyShot for photographs; movie Active mode combines optical and electronic stabilisation and narrows the angle of view. Sony’s launch comparison with WX100 is approximately four times the telephoto correction effect under its test conditions, not a four-stop rating
FlashBuilt-in manually raised flash; ISO Auto range approximately 0.5–8.5 m wide or 2.4–3.5 m telephotoBuilt-in fixed front flash with Auto, forced, slow-sync, off and Advanced Flash; ISO Auto range approximately 0.2–3.7 m wide or 1.5–2.2 m telephoto
