SLT-A33L

Capture your perfect moments with the world’s first Translucent Mirror Technology™ DSLR enabling simultaneous focusing and capture.

Continuous shooting is 7 frames per second, complete with continuous auto focus. Auto focus is also visibly faster in Live View and HD

Movie modes.

Translucent Mirror Technology™

Other DSLRs can shoot. Or they can focus with the speed and precision of

Phase Detection AF. They cannot do both at once. The SLT-A33 is the world’s first DSLR with Translucent Mirror

Technology™ that directs light to both the image sensor and the Phase

Detection AF sensor simultaneously.

7 frames per second continuous

The translucent mirror makes it far easier to capture the decisive soccer kick or your baby at her absolute cutest. The

Sony® SLT-A33 camera shoots full, 14.2

MP resolution pictures at up to 7 fps while maintaining continuous auto focus and auto exposure.

When most DSLRs shoot video, their

Contrast AF is slow and visibly “hunts” for focus. The Quick AF Full HD Movie

1 retains the same fast, precise Phase

Detection you enjoy for still images. It’s a decisive advantage for tracking fastmoving subjects and a major benefit of

Translucent Mirror Technology™ .

14.2 megapixel resolution

You get incredible detail and gorgeous enlargements. Thanks to the 14.2 megapixel APS-C sensor size and

Sony® Exmor™ APS HD CMOS technology, the camera achieves high resolution with no penalty in low-light sensitivity or sensor noise.

APS-C size HD CMOS image sensor

With 19.5 times the area of the typical makes the difference between amateur and professional-looking video, delivering an exceptional combination of high resolution, high sensitivity and gorgeous, blurred backgrounds.

Sony® Exmor™ technology

Conventional image sensors use only a handful of analog-to-digital (A/D) converters, which can slow you down.

The Exmor™ sensor provides more than

4,000 column-parallel A/D converters.

This helps enable continuous shooting at up to 7 frames per second.

Multi-frame NR

Experience incredible low-light shooting without a flash. The camera captures six images in a fraction of a second.

Combining the data from all six, it creates a single image with a reduction in noise equivalent to two additional steps of ISO sensitivity. Sensitivity selectable up to ISO 25600.

(Recommended for still subjects.)

Hand-held Night Shot

Get cleaner and sharper nighttime pictures— beyond the capability of traditional cameras— without using flash or a tripod. The camera captures six images in a fraction of a second.

Combining the data with separate algorithms for still and moving parts of the picture reduces blur, minimizes noise and enables extraordinary detail.

Auto HDR built into camera

Captures more scene dynamic range than a single exposure can handle— 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.

Captures in a split second.

(Recommended for still subjects.)

Capture vast scenic vistas and 16:9 shots in spectacular 3D. As you sweep across the panorama, the camera records separate right-eye and left-eye images that make landscapes come both JPEG and MPO file formats.
