WELL-USED CONDITION NOTE (SUPERFICIAL SENSOR COMPONENT SPOTS)
Please read carefully regarding the optical and physical state of this specific camera body before purchasing:
Sensor Component Status: The internal camera sensor was previously wiped with a cloth by a prior user. While the optical sensor glass does not exhibit any deep or major structural scratches, there are visible superficial spots/dust particles trapped underneath the outermost sensor filter glass.
Real-World Imaging Impact: These internal spots do not appear in or degrade your final images. Standard real-world test shots at wide-to-medium apertures verify that image clarity, contrast, and color rendition remain clean and uncompromised. The camera is fully operational and field-ready.
Cosmetic Casing Wear: The exterior body shell is in Well-Used condition, displaying obvious surface scuffs, finish rub wear on the edges, and fine scratches from active handling. The rear flip-up screen mechanism remains completely structurally sound, and all mechanical dials click firmly.

24.3MP APS-C Sensor & BIONZ X Processing Matrix
24.3MP Exmor APS HD CMOS Sensor: Employs an advanced, gapless on-chip lens design that optimizes the angles of incoming light across adjacent pixels. This maximizes light-gathering efficiency, minimizing noise floors while maintaining crisp edge-to-edge sharpness.
Blazing BIONZ X Image Processor: Drives the camera’s high-speed internal pipeline, fueling sophisticated diffraction-reducing algorithms, area-specific noise reduction, and lightning-fast menu responses.
ISO 100 to 25,600 Sensitivity Range: Delivers clean, detail-rich imagery with excellent low-light performance across a broad sensitivity baseline, allowing for sharp handheld shots in dim indoor rooms or at twilight.
6 fps Continuous Burst with AF Tracking: Fires continuously at up to 6 frames per second in high-speed drive mode, maintaining persistent autofocus tracking to pin down fast-moving pets, kids, or action sports sequences.
Automated Imaging Enhancements: Packed with creative on-board assists, including Dynamic Range Optimizer (DRO) for balancing backlit silhouettes, Auto Object Framing for automatic aesthetic composition crops, a Soft Skin Effect for erasing portrait blemishes, and Hand-held Twilight Mode (which composites six rapid exposures to eliminate low-light noise).
179-Point Fast Hybrid AF & Touchscreen Interface
0.07-Second Fast Hybrid Focus: Combines a dense 179-point focal-plane phase-detection array with 25 contrast-detection zones. Driven by a Spatial Object Detection algorithm, the camera instantly acquires targets with phase detection and locks in fine sharpness via contrast detection in as little as 0.07 seconds.
Intelligent Target AF Tracking Modes: Features advanced focus locks including Eye AF (prioritizes and tracks a subject’s pupil for razor-sharp portraits), Lock-on AF (automatically adjusts its tracking frame size around moving targets), and selectable AF-C (Continuous AF) properties.
180-Degree Flip-Up Touchscreen LCD: Outfitted with a bright 3.0-inch 921.6k-dot capacitive touchscreen monitor that hinges smoothly upward a full 180 degrees for effortless, front-facing vlogging framing and selfies.
Intuitive Touch Focus & Shutter Tap: The touchscreen allows users to tap anywhere on the live preview screen to execute instant, pinpoint focus shifts or trip the mechanical shutter button automatically.
Integrated Power Zoom Shutter Lever: Features a physical zoom rocker surrounding the shutter button, allowing operators to smoothly drive compatible Sony E-mount power zoom lenses with a single finger, mimicking a camcorder workflow.
Cinematic Full HD XAVC S Video Recording
50 Mbps Broadcast-Quality XAVC S Codec: Records rich Full HD 1080p video clips at 60p, 30p, or cinema-native 24p frame rates using the high-bitrate XAVC S architecture, yielding crisp details and reduced compression artifacts.
Dual Video Recording Efficiency: Can record two files simultaneously—capturing a high-bitrate master file in XAVC S or AVCHD alongside a duplicate, web-optimized MP4 file for rapid wireless offloading to social media.
Pro Video Overlays & Monitoring Tools: Includes real-time Manual Focus Peaking highlights, zebra stripe exposure indicators, center markers, aspect ratio framing lines, and safety zone borders on the live LCD.
8-Bit 4:2:2 Clean HDMI Output: Outfitted with a Type-D Micro-HDMI port capable of piping uncompressed 8-bit 4:2:2 video streams directly to external monitor-recorders for pro-tier post-production grading pipelines.
Linear PCM 2-Channel Stereo Audio: Incorporates a built-in front stereo microphone that encodes high-fidelity Linear PCM 2-channel audio tracks to match broadcast-level video capture.
One-Touch Wi-Fi & NFC Smart Connectivity
Built-In Wi-Fi with One-Touch NFC Sharing: Built-in Wi-Fi lets you instantly beam images and movies to paired smartphones, tablets, or cloud servers. Integrated Near Field Communication (NFC) enables instant, one-touch pairing when tapping compatible Android smart devices against the camera chassis.
Wireless Smartphone Remote Viewfinder: Seamlessly mirror the camera’s live view composition screen onto a connected phone. This lets you trip the shutter remotely, monitor framing from a distance, or change key camera settings.
