Product features
  • Smallest in class
    This is the world's smallest interchangeable lens digital still camera using an APS-C size sensor. Sony removed the conventional mirror box, AF sensor and viewfinder, reducing the "flange back" distance from 44.5mm to 18mm. The result has all the quality of an α DSLR, in about half the size and weight.
  • ISO 12800 sensitivity
    Incredibly clear low-light pictures without sacrificing detail. This is best-in-class performance, made possible by low-noise Exmor APS HD CMOS image sensor and refined BIONZ image processor.
  • Anti motion blur mode
    Corrects for subject movement to capture amazingly clean and sharp images in low light. The camera leverages the large, APS-C image sensor and captures six images in a fraction of a second. Combining the data from all six creates a single image that minimizes subject blur.
  • Live view LCD
    The LCD monitor is active full-time for composing shots. Provides a what-you-see-is-what-you-get preview of white balance, focus, depth of field, exposure and 100% framing accuracy, plus informative on-screen displays.
  • Fast auto focus
    Some cameras in this class are slow to focus. That can make you miss the shot on fast-moving subjects like sports and unpredictable subjects like pets and babies. Sony's fast contrast auto focus system typically takes just 0.3 seconds. Also offers continuous auto focus when shooting movies.
  • On-screen help guide
    Provides ready reference, explains the camera's modes and settings. Walks you through camera operation so you get the best shot. Helps you advance from basic operation to greater sophistication.
  • Sony Exmor APS HD CMOS sensor
    Conventional image sensors use only a handful of analog-to-digital (A/D) converters, which can slow you down. The NEX-C3 Exmor sensor provides 4,912 column-parallel A/D converters. You get fast response, superb image clarity.
  • "Background defocus" control
    Cameras with APS-C sensors take beautiful pictures because they can blur the background. That helps make your subject stand out as the center of attention in portrait photography. But you've had to know about aperture f-stops and shutter speeds. Now Sony makes it easy. Simply turn the control wheel one way for backgrounds in focus, the other for background defocus.
  • Face detection technology
    The camera can automatically detect up to eight individual faces and adjust focus, exposure, white balance and flash to help deliver crisp, properly lit images of family and friends. Can prioritize children or adults.
  • Eight scene selection modes
    These help you get the shot by optimizing the camera for specific shooting situations. Select from portrait, sports, macro, landscape, sunset, night view, night portrait and handheld night shot modes.
  • Up to 400 shots of battery life
    Take up to 400 shots on a single charge with Sony lithium ion Stamina battery power. Sony's InfoLITHIUM battery system enables you to see the percent of power remaining, so you can keep shooting in confidence.
  • APS-C size HD image sensor
    The same sensor format that Sony builds into the full-sized α DSLRs. With 13 times the area of the typical image sensor, APS-C makes the difference between "snapshots" and "photographs", delivering an exceptional combination of high resolution, high sensitivity and gorgeous, blurred backgrounds.
  • Up to 5.5 frames per second
    Capture the decisive moment in sports and get the ideal baby photo. Up to 5.5 fps continuous shooting at full 16.2 MP resolution with exposure and focus fixed at the first frame. Standard continuous shooting at up to 2.5 fps.
  • Sweep panorama
    Capture expansive landscapes automatically. Press the shutter, sweep vertically or horizontally. The camera does the rest, continuously shooting images and stitching them together. Up to 23 MP image size. Up to 202 degrees maximum sweep angle.
  • Auto HDR built into camera
    High Dynamic Range (HDR) photography captures more scene contrast than a single exposure can handle by combining the best highlight detail from one shot and the best shadow detail from another for one incredible shot. Until recently, you needed a computer and editing software. Sony builds HDR in. Handles severe backlighting and other high-contrast scenes. Captures in a split second.
  • 921K pixel TruBlack LCD screen
    Sony's Xtra Fine LCD monitor has best-in-class resolution. The TruBlack screen includes a special resin layer to suppress internal reflections, increase contrast compared to conventional LCDs. Sunny Weather mode boosts visibility even further in bright sunlight.
  • iAUTO (intelligent auto) mode
    Unifies and simplifies Sony intelligent technologies. Takes advantage of intelligent scene recognition, face detection technology, and optical SteadyShot image stabilization without leaving auto mode so you always get the best shot.
  • Control wheel + customizable soft keys
    Unlike cameras that bristle with knobs, buttons and dials, the NEX-C3 features a simple turn-and-click control wheel and context-sensitive soft keys. It's elegant, uncluttered and intuitive.
  • Dynamic Range Optimizer (DRO)
    Dynamic Range Optimizer improves results with backlit subjects and recovers details hidden in shadows. Settings include auto, level with a choice of five operating levels and off.
  • RAW image capture
    The NEX-C3 saves your pictures as compact JPEG files or ultra-high quality RAW files. RAW files save images prior to de-mosaicing, white balance, sharpness and color enhancement. This retains maximum latitude for enhancing the image on your PC.
  • HDMI output for HD viewing
    Enjoy HD movies and stunning still images on a compatible HDTV. The camera includes an HDMI output. In addition, the BRAVIA sync system works with compatible Sony BRAVIA HDTVs enabling you to control camera playback using the television's remote.
  • Photo creativity interface
    The photo creativity interface enables you to easily enjoy the creative expression of SLR-quality digital imaging. Changes can be combined/removed and viewed in real time on the LCD making it a breeze to make adjustments. Choose from seven different photo creativity functions using the convenient control wheel and center button.
  • Anti-dust technology
    Anti-dust technology helps keep the CMOS sensor clean, resulting in consistently clear pictures. First a static-free coating on the sensor's low-pass filter helps repel dust. Then vibration automatically dislodges dust from the sensor.
  • Dual format media card slot
    For cost-effective, convenient storage and sharing of your images, the camera accepts Memory Stick PRO Duo/Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo and SD/SDHC media (Class 4 or higher recommended).
  • Interchangeable lenses
    Compatible with Sony's E-mount series of smaller, lighter lenses designed specifically for α compact interchangeable lens cameras. Opens up a world of creative options.
  • 16.2 megapixel resolution
    You get incredible detail and gorgeous enlargements. Thanks to the 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.
  • 3D Sweep Panorama mode
    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 alive on your 3D television. Records both JPEG and MPO file formats.
  • Hand-held twilight mode
    Get cleaner and sharper nighttime pictures - beyond the capability of traditional cameras - without using flash or a tripod. The camera leverages the large, APS-C image sensor and captures six images in a fraction of a second. Combining the data from all six creates a single image of extraordinary detail and low noise.
  • Tiltable 3" LCD screen
    Empowers your photography with a different point or view. Tilts down 45° and up 80° to frame high- and low-angle shots that would otherwise be hit-or-miss.
