A quantum leap forward inspeed and precisionIntroducing the Sony OC55 an d (X33 two revolutionary ne w ultra-compact interchangeable-lensdigital cameras that are reshaping the imaging landscape of the future. Featuring a game-changing advance called Translucent Mirror Technology, they offer the lightning-quick speed andprecision you need to 'focus between the moments'.And they do it on a full-time basis,whetheryou're shooting high-resolution still photos or Full HD movies.The Sony OC55 and (X 33 . Now,at last,the ultimate in interchangeable lens digital camera speed and performance can be yours.

10 fps high-speed continuous shootingWith Translucent Mirror Technologyyou get Continuous Priority AEshooting at up to 10 tps,plus high-speed continuousAFthat keeps your subject in precise focus in every frame,

Ultra high-speed continuous shootingwith continuous high-precisionAFWith the mode dial set to Continuous Priority AEmode*, the 55and a33 offer maximum continuous shooting speeds of 10 fpsand 7 fps, respectively. What's more, they can achieve thesebiazingiy fast speeds while continuously keeping your subjectin focus a feature previously offered only on big, expensiveprofessional SLR cameras, it's this ability to 'focus between themoments' that enables you to capture sports action and fleetingfacial expressions that you never could before.* Aperture is ixed at F3.5 or the maximum aperture of the lens in use, whichever is

smaller.

By eliminating the need to raise andlower the mirror with each shot.Translucent Mirror Technologyenables continuous focusing atultra-fast shooting speeds.

Newly-developed 15-point AF system with3 cross sensors for pinpoint focusing precisionUnlike digital SLRs that require the use of slower contrast-detection AF or manual focus for live view and movie shooting,the oc55 and 33 let you enjoy the benefits of high-speed phase-detection AF all the time, for all types of shooting, via both thefinder and LCD monitor.The cameras' newly developed 15-pointAF system also features 3vertically aligned cross sensors to boostfocusing speed and precision on both the vertical and horizontal

axes, and improved predictive focusing algorithms that greatlyenhance your ability to track fast-moving subjects. A choice ofSingle-shot (AF-S), Continuous (AF-C),and Automatic (AF-A) AFmodes isoffered, and in addition to Wide and Spot AFareasettings, there's a Local AF area setting that lets you choose anyof the 15 focus points as a target.

Large Exmor APS HD CMOS sensor for Full HDimagingwith beautiful background defocusingThe Exmor APS HD C M O S sensors used in the 55 an d a33 offeroutstanding sensitivity for low-light shooting, and their largesurface area enables them to capture background defocusingeffects that conventional camcorders can't. As a result, it's easy toadd a cinematic sense of depth and drama to virtually anyscene.The sensors' large size also contributes to superior lightsensitivity, as suring high image quality even when shooting in lowlight.

High-speed, high-precision, phase-detectionAFeven during movie shooting

Interchangeable lens flexibility forunrivalled moviemaking freedom

As the first ultracompact interchangeable-lens digital cameras inthe world* to offer high-speedTTL phase-detection AFduringmovie shooting, the 55 and a33solve the moviemaker's per-ennial problem of maintaining accurate focus on moving sub-jects. It's a revolutionary advance that makes it much easier toget professional-looking results. And although aperture and ISOcontrol are automatic, you can lock the exposure with the AELbutton, and even apply exposure compensation while shooting.And when the AFarea is set to Local, you can even switch thefocus point from one part of the scene to another while shooting.* Among consumer-oriented Jnterchangeabie-iens cameras as of July 15 ,2010(Source: in-house market research)

Stress-free movie mode shootingA dedicated MOVIE button enables you tostart and stop movie recording with a singletouch, eliminating the need to accessanysettings menus.

AVCHD or MP4 format support formaximum post-processing flexibility AVCHDBoth cameras support the AVCHD format that israpidly becomingthe de facto standard for Full HDhome movie recording, aswellas the MP4 format that makes it easy to post video clips on blogsand video-sharing websites.The choice isyours.

Manual aperture control forenhanced moviemaking creativityWhen focusing manually, you can also control the apertureto enable a wide range of creative expression.You can takefull advantage of the brightness of large-aperture lenses whenshooting movies at night, forexample, or reduce the apertureto expand depth of field and reduce the need for frequentrefocusing when your subject moves.* Shutter speed and ISO sensitivity are set automatically

Aspiring moviemakers can take advantage of the full rangeof a. system A-mount lenses including fisheye, super wide-angle, telephoto, macro, and other fixed focal length andzoom lenses.

Multi Frame NR s an advanced ISOsensitivity setting that automatically takessix frames at high speed, and then usessophisticated motion-detection algo-rithms and digital compositing technol-ogies to precisely align and combinethem into a single low-noise mage. It canbe used at any ISO setting in all PASMmodes, enabling you to improve imagequality in both bright and dim light. Atthe highest setting, it uses ISO expansionto achieve class-leading, ultra-highsensitivity equivalent to ISO25600.

Hand-heldTwilight mode for flash-freeimaging in low lightHand-held Twilight mode is a SceneSelection mode that helps suppressblurring and noise in low light. Like MultiFrame NR, it takes sixframes and thenuses proprietary Sony digital compositingtechnologies to align and combine themwith extremely high precision and speed.

The a55 and a33's Auto HD R functionboasts a maximum range of 6EVthatreplicates the wide tonal range of humanvision. Itworks by taking three shots inrapid succession,and then combiningthem into a single image that revealsmuch greater shadow and highlight detailthan a normal exposure.And becauseAuto HDR uses advanced algorithms todetect and correct any misalignmentbetween the three exposures, it's evenpossible to capture these remarkableimages without using a tripod.* Auto HD R available i n P/A/S/M modes, and may beautomatically activated nAUTO+ mode.
