Multi Frame NR
The Multi Frame NR mode is super effective
at suppressing noise. It allows you to clearly
capture scenes that would normally be
challenging even for seasoned professionals.
For example, candle-lit environments can
be vividly captured without using a tripod
or flash. Like Hand-held Twilight, it takes six
photos and expertly composites them
to suppress noise and blur while raising
contrast and detail. This intelligent mode
is compatible with any ISO setting and
functions in all P/A/S/M modes, enabling
noise suppression and improved image
quality in any type of lighting. T hrough ISO
expansion, it can even achieve ultra-high
sensitivity equivalent to ISO 25600.
GPS capability
The built-in GPS ( Global Positioning
System ) feature can tag your photographs
with data that indicates where and when
they were taken. When you view tagged
photographs on a Windows PC installed

with bundled PMB software, or on a
connected BRAVIA ® TV with the Photo Map
function, the photos can be displayed on
a map to indicate where they were taken.
