Lens detailZEISS Vario-Sonnar T*; actual focal length 9–72 mm; 15 elements in 12 groups including eight aspheric elements; no built-in ND filterSony 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
Autofocus357 phase-detection and 425 contrast-detection points; Real-time Tracking; human and animal Eye AF for stills, human Eye AF for moviesNine-point multipoint, centre, spot, tracking and face-tracking AF, with AF illuminator; approximately 5 cm minimum focus wide or 150 cm telephoto
ShutterElectronic shutter up to 1/32000 second; mechanical shutter up to 1/2000 second; minimum durations and Bulb availability depend on exposure modeIntelligent Auto 4–1/1600 second; Program Auto 1–1/1600 second
Burst detailContinuous Hi reaches 20 fps with electronic shutter and AF/AE tracking under the maker's conditions. Single Burst captures only seven frames at 30, 60 or 90 fps with focus and exposure fixed at the first frame; it is not continuous 90 fps shooting.Maximum 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 correction for stills; movie Intelligent Active mode combines optical and electronic correctionOptical 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 flashBuilt-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
Exposure controlsProgram, aperture priority, shutter priority, manual exposure and memory recall; assignable lens ring and Fn menuSuperior Auto, Intelligent Auto, Easy, Program Auto, scenes, Picture Effects, 3D, Background Defocus and panoramas; ±2 EV in 1/3 EV steps.
