Product Features
2.7” (diag.) Clear Photo LCD Plus™ featuring Live View with Quick Auto Focus - A large 2.7” (diag.) Clear Photo LCD Plus™ display features Live View with Quick Auto Focus, which lets you compose and shoot pictures in real-time using the LCD, just as you would with a point-and-shoot camera. In addition, the LCD display tilts up or down for low or high-angle shooting situations.
Lightweight and stylish body - The 330 features a stylish, modern design with an intuitive button layout for easier operation. In addition, the lightweight body and revised grip make the camera easier to hold and carry.
High sensitivity (ISO 3200) for superior noise reduction - A broad sensitivity range from ISO 100 to ISO 3200 enables you to capture beautiful color images even in very dim light -- High ISO Noise Reduction technology reduces picture noise artifacts at high-sensitivity ISO 1600 and ISO 3200 settings by blocking noise from RAW data after analog-to-digital conversion.
Up to 2.5 fps continuous shooting - Continuous Shooting lets you shoot at up to 2.5 fps (frames per second) while viewing your subject through the optical viewfinder - you'll never lose track of the action.
Built-in Pop-Up Flash - The Auto Pop-Up Flash automatically pops up and fires as needed when the camera is set to certain scene selection modes, helping first-time DSLR photographers shoot more effectively. In addition, the α features an integrated hot shoe, which allow you to expand your lighting options with a range of accessory flashes (sold separately).
Smart Teleconverter 2X Digital Zoom - Smart Teleconverter 2X Digital Zoom lets you zoom in electronically on your subject and reproduces pixels on a 1:1 basis so there’s no corruption of picture quality. One touch zooms in at 1.4X, while the second touch advances to 2X zoom -- creating the 35mm equivalent of a telephoto effect with the camera’s standard 18-55mm optical zoom lens.
Scene Selection Modes - Scene Selection Modes optimize camera settings a variety of shooting situations. Just turn the Mode Dial to select from Portrait, Landscape, Macro, Sports, Sunset, and Night View modes.

Integrated on-screen Help Guide and Graphic Display - An integrated on-screen Help Guide and Graphic Display help alleviate the complexity of DSLR photography. The Help Guide offers clear, concise explanations of various modes and settings, while the Graphic Display helps you understand the relationship between aperture and shutter speed, as well as the effect each has on photographic results.
Eye-Start Autofocus - Eye-Start Autofocus System begins precision autofocus adjustments the moment you raise the camera to your eye, so the camera is always ready to catch the perfect moment.
Creative Style settings - Creative Style settings give you control over how the camera processes your images. Choose from 8 finishing styles, including Standard, Vivid, Potrait, Landscape, Night View, Sunset, B&W, and Adobe RGB, and fine tune them to your personal tastes with the ability to adjust contrast, saturation, and sharpness settings.
Anti-Dust Technology - Anti-Dust Technology helps keep the CCD imager clean, resulting in consistently higher picture quality, by utilizing a static-free anti-dust coating on the CCD filter, as well as an anti-dust vibration that automatically shakes the CCD to help dislodge dust each time the camera is shut off.
BIONZ™ image processor - The advanced BIONZ™ image processor uses hardware-based Large Scale Integrated (LSI) circuitry to enhance images with rich tonal reproduction, reduced noise, and improved white balance and better exposure control, for clear, sharp photos even at high sensitivity settings
Index and Slide Show Display - Index and Slide Show Display enable you to quickly review your photos using 4, 9 or 25-frame index views, or as an automatic slide show with a fade-in/fade-out effect.
