Sony Alpha DSLR-A560 Specifications

DSLR-A560
Don't let life pass you buy. Get the fast action that other cameras miss thanks to Sony's Quick AF
Live View. Take in the landscape with 3D Sweep Panorama ™ mode. See into the dark with
Handheld Twilight and Multi-Frame NR modes. And preserve your memories with amazing Full HD
1080i movies.
14.2 megapixels; amazing pictures
You get incredible detail and gorgeous
enlargements. Thanks to the APS-C
sensor size and Sony's Exmor™ APS HD
CMOS technology, the camera
achieves high resolution with no
penalty in low-light sensitivity or sensor
noise.
Full HD 1080/60i movies
The DSLR-A560 captures Full HD video at
1920x1080/30p and records in
1920x1080/60i and is one of the very
few DSLRs with exactly the same
resolution and frame rate as most
broadcast and cable HDTV channels.
You also have the option of recording
HD video in 720p in web friendly MP4
format.
APS-C size HD CMOS image sensor
With 19.5 times the area of the typical
camcorder image sensor, APS-C
makes the difference between amateur
and professional-looking video. The
DSLR-A560L delivers an exceptional
combination of high resolution capture,
high sensitivity performance, and
gorgeous, defocused backgrounds.
Quick Auto Focus Live View
Unlike competing cameras, the DSLR-
A560 is just as responsive in Quick Auto
Focus Live View mode as in optical
viewfinder mode. That's because, unlike
the others, the A560 uses the same
"phase detection" auto focus for Live
View as for the optical viewfinder. While
other Live View systems are severely
restricted, Sony's performs superbly any
time— even if you're shooting handheld
or chasing after moving subjects like
kids or pets.
More responsive Live View
Some Live View systems take a
painfully long time to focus. Some even
black out the LCD before focus. Either
can cause you to miss shots. Sony's
Quick Auto Focus Live View solves these
problems, making it easier to get the
best shot.

Focus Check Live View
For critical focus in macro and tripod
shooting, the DSLR-A560 also offers
Focus Check Live View. Temporary 7x
and 14x zoom views enable you to
focus on extremely fine detail while the
1x view shows 100% framing in the LCD.
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
stepsf ISO sensitivity. Sensitivity
selectable up to ISO 25600.
(Recommended for still subjects.)
Hand-held Twilight
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.)
Sweep Panorama™ mode
Capture expansive landscapes
automatically. Press the shutter and
sweep vertically or horizontally. The
camera does the rest, continuously
shooting images and stitching them
together. Up to 23 MP image size.
