Technology of the Sony E-mount

With the E-mount you are ready for your development as an image-maker. Your Alpha camera and E-mount lenses work together with the body algorithms and the special functionalities of the lenses. This means you can always make use of, for example, fast and accurate autofocus and shooting speeds, image stabilisation and more unique functionalities. You also ensure you can always rely on the best resolutions because you are using Sony's own lenses.

Possibilities through use of the Sony E-mount

When you choose to use a Sony E-mount lens on an E-mount camera, you can trust that your camera performs at its best. Sony's lenses are completely tuned to Sony's cameras. Every setting you make and whatever lens you use, the algorithms are optimised so that you get the best performance from your photos and videos.

By this we mean you have access to ultra-modern AF algorithms and actuators for reliable, accurate and smooth focusing. Challenges in focusing such as fluctuation in the angle of view (breathing) and axial chromatic shift are a thing of the past. These phenomena are fully suppressed, while clickless iris control provides the operation you need for video productions. In addition to the steplessly adjustable aperture, the lenses are also all equipped with AF motors without mechanical transmissions, making them many times quieter during focusing than other brands — particularly advantageous when filming in quiet environments. The E-mount is accessible for every photographer and videographer, beginner or professional.

It is good to know that the stabilisation of your Sony lens in combination with a Sony mirrorless camera is perfectly matched. This gives you the ability to work with longer shutter speeds and reduces the risk of motion blur. A lightweight lens is always pleasant, especially when you are shooting a lot on the go. Look at the weight of different lenses and make the choice that best suits your photography.

Features available for Sony cameras and lenses

When you choose to use your Sony camera in combination with Sony lenses, you retain all the cooperating functions. This ensures the highest achievable quality and creativity. But which functions are available? Think for example of Animal Eye Autofocus, 4D focus, Silent Shutter and more.
