Detailed Description

(Manufacturer # ILCE3000K/B )

The same sensor format that Sony builds into the full-sized I? DSLRs. With 13 times the area of the typical point-and-shoot image sensor, APS-C sensor size makes the difference between "snapshots" and "photographs," delivering an exceptional combination of high resolution, high sensitivity and gorgeous, blurred backgrounds.

With a new Exmor®A sensor that features the same adaptive noise reduction technology from Sony's flagship SLT-A99V, the ILCE-3000 easily offers a wide range of sensitivity from ISO 100 to ISO 16000.

This eye-level, through-the-lens, viewfinder with 100% coverage begins with over 200k dots for impressive resolution. You can also see the results of camera adjustments in real time with superb color and detail.

Give your photos a professional look with Auto Object Framing. Featuring advancements like exceptional two-person portrait capability along with Face Detection and Tracking Focus, Auto Object Framing not only turns ordinary photos into stunning compositions but does so automatically recognizing the scene then cropping accordingly.

The Photo Creativity interface enables you to easily enjoy the creative expression of SLR-quality digital imaging without the complicated settings. Changes can be easily made using the control dial with results seen in real time on the LCD. Settings include; Background Defocus, Brightness, Color, Vividness and most Picture Effects.

The a3000 supports Sony's "TRILUMINOS Color," allowing you to view photos and movies in rich, natural colors on any TV equipped with a "TRILUMINOS Display." The expanded color gamut lets you immerse yourself once again in those unforgettably colorful moments, from the complex shades in a shimmering blue sky to the natural tones of a rosy complexion.

Capture HD Movies in your choice of standard 60i or cinematic 24p, all at Full HD 1920x1080 resolution.1A AVCHD™ codec delivers stunning picture quality. MP4 codec offers smaller files for easier upload to the web.

Captures more scene dynamic range than a single exposure can handlea?"and more range than photo film. Combines the best highlight detail from one shot, the best mid-tones from a second and the best shadow detail from a third for one incredible shot (up to 6 EV stops). Captures in a split second. (Recommended for still subjects.)

Improves results with backlit subjects and recovers details hidden in shadows. Settings include Auto, Level with a choice of five operating levels and Off.

Utilizing Sony's exclusive By Pixel Super Resolution Technology, Clear Image Zoom increases the effective focal length of your lens up to 2x by digitally magnifying the center of your image with nearly imperceptible degradation.
