ILCE3000K in by Sony Canada in Pakenham, ON - 3000 E-mount Camera with APS-C Sensor

Capture more with an Exmor™ APS-C sensor

Every scene is captured beautifully, from corner to corner, with fine details and rich tonal gradations, on an Exmor™ APS-C sensor. The sensor's large size delivers high sensitivity, attractive defocusing effects, and low noise in a wide range of shooting situations, including dimly lit environments. Impressive 20.1 effective megapixel resolution brings every detail to life.

Pristine movies with Full HD 60i/50i recording

Shoot high precision Full HD movies in AVCHD with a simple press of the MOVIE button. Support for 60i (NTSC)/50i (PAL) gives your movies a lifelike feel with more natural movement. You can also create a realistic cinematic look by shooting in 24p (NTSC)/25p (Pal), the same frame rate used historically in the motion picture industry.

Natural results in any light with BIONZ™ processor

From vivid colours to smooth skin textures and faint rays of light, every nuance of your scene is faithfully reproduced across an extremely wide dynamic range. This accurate depiction is made possible by the sophisticated BIONZ image processing engine from Sony, which expertly processes every detail captured by the high resolution Exmor™ APS-C image sensor. Even the most intensive tasks are handled with speed and precision.

Wide-ranging sensitivity from ISO 100 to 16000

Even in dim lighting, the wide ISO range of 100-16000 lets you shoot beautiful photos with natural tonal gradations and low noise, without using a flash. Auto ISO provides outstanding results in most lighting conditions, automatically choosing the most suitable ISO between 100 and 3200. For dim interiors and shooting at fast shutter speeds, manually select a high sensitivity setting up to ISO 16000 depending on the scene.

Clear Image Zoom gets you closer

Clear Image Zoom utilises By Pixel Super Resolution to extend the reach of your lens by up to 2x without compromising image quality. And by combining it with Digital Zoom and Smart Zoom*, you can increase magnification by up to 8x over the maximum focal length of the lens. Clear Image Zoom supports both photos and movies, so you'll always have plenty of reach for distant subjects. * Smart Zoom does not support movies

More realistic contrast with Auto HDR

Decrease contrast in scenes with extremely dark and light areas for a more impressive picture. Auto HDR mode combines three images - one each for highlights, mid-tones, and shadows - to produce one photo that closely resembles the scene as you saw it. Use D-range Optimiser for lowering contrast in photos with moving subjects and when shooting continuously.

Easy-to-view Tru-Finder™ electronic viewfinder

View every scene clearly with a built-in electronic viewfinder. Not only do you get a better view through the Tru-Finder, but you can also see the effects of exposure and white balance settings in order to accurately check how the final photo will look. The viewfinder is also equipped with an auto brightness function that automatically sets ideal luminosity and chromatic levels. Features include 100% frame coverage and various shooting information displays such as grids and a histogram.

Quickly change shooting modes with mode dial

The mode dial lets you conveniently switch between shooting modes. Select from iAuto, Superior Auto, Program AE, Aperture Priority, Shutter-speed Priority, Manual, Sweep Panorama, and Scene Selection with a simple twist of your finger.

Add on accessories with the Multi Interface Shoe

Tap into a wide variety of accessories with the Multi Interface Shoe. Flash units, microphones, and a range of other accessories for movie and still shooting can be conveniently attached to, and receive their power from, the camcorder via the shoe.

Light up the scene with a built-in flash

Brighten any dark shot with a convenient built-in flash. The pop-up flash lets you capture the moment quickly, without having to spend time attaching a separate flash unit. Be creative and select from a range of flash modes, including flash off, Autoflash, Fill-flash, Slow Sync, Rear Sync, Red-eye reduction, and Hi-speed sync.

Auto Object Framing for a professional look

Auto Object Framing analyses portraits, close-ups or images of moving subjects, then crops them for the perfect shot. Featuring advancements like two-person portrait, Face Detection, and Tracking Focus, this convenient technology creates beautifully composed photos effortlessly. Because the camera automatically recognizes different scenes and adjusts accordingly, you don't need to worry about framing and can concentrate on your composition.

A pleasure to hold with an ergonomic design

The ILCE-3000K feels right in the hand with a secure, dependable grip that's designed so you can hold the camera steady. Its SLR-like styling gives the camera a solid feel and allows easy operation of key features for hours of confident, worry-free shooting.

Be artistic with Picture Effects

This creative feature expands movie and photo enjoyment by allowing you to add artistic effects without any time-consuming editing on a PC. Choose from fifteen Picture Effect modes: Posterisation (colour, black and white), Pop Colour, Retro Photo, Partial Colour (R, G, B, Y), Soft High-key, High Contrast Mono, Toy Camera, Soft Focus, HDR Painting, Rich-tone Mono, and Miniature. You can view effects in real-time on the LCD screen or viewfinder before taking the shot.

Anti Motion Blur and Hand-held Twilight

These two image enhancing technologies help you take sharply detailed photos with less noise and blur when shooting handheld in low-light environments. Anti Motion Blur is especially useful for decreasing blur caused by camera shake and subject movement, while Hand-held Twilight mode balances exposure between your main subject and background for impressive night shots.

Supported in Capture One Express (for Sony)

Capture One Express (for Sony) is one of the world's best RAW converters, rendering precise colours and incredible detail.
