Sony’s innovative technologies provide you with everything you need to capture those magic moments in 
stunning clarity. The Xperia™ Z3 Compact’s 1/2.3” Exmor™ RS for mobile sensor and BIONZ™ for 
mobile processing engine work together to savour every single detail – for photos and videos as sharp 
and vivid as the moment itself. Plus, you can fit even more into every shot with the new 25mm wide-angle 
Sony G Lens, so your friends never have to squeeze in closer again.
Want the perfect picture of a summer sunset or a stunning snapshot indoors in low-light? As the world’s 
first smartphone with ISO 12800 sensitivity, the Xperia™ Z3 Compact can create amazing photos even in 
low-light conditions.
Shooting a steady video with an ordinary smartphone isn’t easy. But with the Xperia™ Z3 Compact, it’s a 
different story. Sony’s new and improved SteadyShot™ technology with Intelligent Active Mode™ means 
every video you shoot will be beautifully blur-free. Intelligent Active Mode™ compensates for your 
movements, analysing dozens of backwards and forward frames, to predict your next steps and make 
panning smoother and images more stable. Also, you can record everything in super-clear 4K resolution, 
for memories that look just like the real thing.
Compact waterproof design with uncompromised performance
It’s fully waterproof up to a rating of IP65/IP68, so you can take your Xperia™ Z3 Compact with you 
wherever you go – whether you’re answering a call in the rain or taking pictures in the pool. So whatever 
you choose to do, your compact and durable Xperia™ Z3 Compact will never let you down.
