14.2 megapixels; amazing pictures
You get incredible detail and gorgeous 
enlargements. Thanks to the APS-C 
sensor size and Sony's Exmor™  APS HD 
CMOS technology, the camera 
achieves high resolution with no 
penalty in low-light sensitivity or sensor 
noise.
Full HD 1080/60i movies
The DSLR-A560 captures Full HD video at 
1920x1080/30p and records in 
1920x1080/60i and is one of the very 
few DSLRs with exactly the same 
resolution and frame rate as most 
broadcast and cable HDTV channels. 
You also have the option of recording 
HD video in 720p in web friendly MP4 
format.
APS-C size HD CMOS image sensor
With 19.5 times the area of the typical 
camcorder image sensor, APS-C 
makes the difference between amateur 
and professional-looking video. The 
DSLR-A560L delivers an exceptional 
combination of high resolution capture, 
high sensitivity performance, and 
gorgeous, defocused backgrounds.
Quick Auto Focus Live View
Unlike competing cameras, the DSLR-
A560 is just as responsive in Quick Auto 
Focus Live View mode as in optical 
viewfinder mode. That's because, unlike 
the others, the A560 uses the same 
"phase detection" auto focus for Live 
View as for the optical viewfinder. While 
other Live View systems are severely 
restricted, Sony's performs superbly any 
time— even if you're shooting handheld 
or chasing after moving subjects like 
kids or pets.
More responsive Live View
Some Live View systems take a 
painfully long time to focus. Some even 
black out the LCD before focus. Either 
can cause you to miss shots. Sony's 
Quick Auto Focus Live View solves these 
problems, making it easier to get the 
best shot.
Focus Check Live View
For critical focus in macro and tripod 
shooting, the DSLR-A560 also offers 
Focus Check Live View. Temporary 7x 
and 14x zoom views enable you to 
focus on extremely fine detail while the 
1x view shows 100% framing in the LCD.
Multi-frame NR
Experience incredible low-light shooting 
without a flash. The camera captures six 
images in a fraction of a second. 
Combining the data from all six, it 
creates a single image with a reduction 
in noise equivalent to two additional 
stepsf ISO sensitivity. Sensitivity 
selectable up to ISO 25600. 
(Recommended for still subjects.)
Hand-held Twilight
Get cleaner and sharper nighttime 
pictures— beyond the capability of 
traditional cameras— without using 
flash or a tripod. The camera captures 
six images in a fraction of a second. 
Combining the data with separate 
algorithms for still and moving parts of 
the picture reduces blur, minimizes noise 
and enables extraordinary detail.
Auto HDR built into camera
Captures more scene dynamic range 
than a single exposure can handle—
and more range than photo film. 
Combines the best highlight detail from 
one shot, the best mid-tones from a 
second and the best shadow detail 
from a third for one incredible shot. 
Captures in a split second. 
(Recommended for still subjects.)
Sweep Panorama™  mode 
Capture expansive landscapes 
automatically. Press the shutter and 
sweep vertically or horizontally. The 
camera does the rest, continuously 
shooting images and stitching them 
together. Up to 23 MP image size.
