The Sony A-mount on a Tamron SP 17-50mm F2.8.

Key Information

The Sony A-mount on an α33 camera.

Sony α (the lower case Greek letter alpha, often transliterated as Sony Alpha) is a brand of digital camera. This line has been active since 2006, building upon the Konica Minolta camera technologies, whose assets were acquired by Sony.

Overview

[edit]

Sony Alpha was introduced on 5 June 2006.[1] It builds on existing Konica Minolta technologies including the Minolta AF SLR lens mount, whose assets were acquired by Sony after the end of Konica Minolta's photography operations in early 2006. Sony also has an 11.08% ownership stake in Japanese lens manufacturer Tamron,[2] which is known to have partnered with Konica Minolta and Sony in the design and manufacture of many zoom lenses.

Prior to the acquisition by Sony, the α branding had already been used on the Japanese market by Minolta for their AF camera system (marketed as "Dynax" in Europe, and "Maxxum" in North America). Sony adopted the name "A-mount system" for the Minolta AF lens mount, which has been retained in their new SLR range.[3]

Sony's entry into the DSLR market dates back to July 2005 where a joint venture with Konica Minolta would have resulted in both companies marketing an updated line of DSLRs to consumers.[4] Between 2006 and 2008 Sony was the fastest growing company on the DSLR market, reaching 13% market share in 2008 to become the third largest DSLR company in the world.[5]

Sony announced plans to introduce a special camera service programme for professional photographers since the launch of the α900 in 2008. Sony Imaging PRO Support (a.k.a. SPS) was finally established starting between 2013 and 2015 depending on country.

Camera bodies

The Sony α model system follows a straightforward principle: each model in the series builds upon the features of its predecessor. For instance, the α330 incorporates all the capabilities of the base model α230 but adds a tilt-angle LCD and Quick AF Live View. Moving up the series, the α380 inherits the settings of the α330 but boasts an increased resolution of 14.2 megapixels.

Only a few Sony APS-C DSLRs have Live View, except for the Sony α100, α200, α230, α290, α700, α850 and α900 series. Live View mode offers a 1.4x or 2x Smart Teleconverter, digitally zooming in on the subject while maintaining a 1:1 pixel reproduction ratio. This innovative approach ensures that picture quality remains uncompromised even during digital zoom, enhancing the overall photography experience.[6]

In 2010 Sony replaced the legacy DSLR design with SLT cameras, where the "SLT" stands for "single-lens translucent" which refers to a fixed beam splitter in the image path. Sony SLT can shoot movie files at Full HD 1080p AVCHD with continuous phase detection autofocus.[7]

Along with the α33 and α55 cameras, Sony also announced one of the last Sony DSLRs - the α560 which can also shoot movie files at full HD stereo 1080p AVCHD, but with limited manual controls and no continuous AF.[8] These three cameras use the same technology Sony Exmor APS HD CMOS sensor. The α33 and α55 are SLT based (fixed translucent mirrors) and can take movie files with continuous Auto Focus, whereas DSLRs using reflex mirrors typically cannot, at least not without limitations.[9][10]

A-mount lenses

[edit]

The A-mount, originally known as the A-type bayonet mount was introduced by Minolta in 1985 as the world's first fully integrated SLR autofocus system. As a result, all Minolta A-mount lenses can be used on Sony DSLRs (except for that some newer camera features cannot be used), and all Sony A-mount lenses work on Minolta's film and digital SLRs (except for that SSM/SAM lenses can be used only with manual focusing on cameras not supporting SSM and that APS-C format lenses cannot reasonably be used on film cameras due to their smaller image circle). During the initial introduction of the α system in 2006, Sony announced 19 lenses and 2 tele-converters, of which the majority were rebranded Konica Minolta lenses. At the 2007 PMA trade show, Sony unveiled several new lenses, but referred to them only in qualitative terms and did not provide specifications.

On 18 May 2009, Sony introduced the first A-mount lenses to feature their new SAM (Smooth Auto-focus Motor) in-lens auto-focus motor for more lens-specific AF speed improvements. This introduction was made with the new "+30" series camera bodies (α350 + 30 = α380). These new bodies retain an in-body focus motor for backward compatibility with the historic lens collection. In addition, the new bodies utilize HDMI output for display on HDTV sets and feature dual memory card slots for both Sony's proprietary Memory Stick Pro Duo chips as well as SDHC media format, while eliminating CompactFlash support.[11]

E-mount lenses

[edit]
Main article: List of Sony E-mount lenses

In May 2010, Sony introduced two α NEX mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras equipped with the new proprietary Sony E-mount.[12] A-mount lenses can be used in E-mount cameras with an adapter - five different adapters are available from Sony alone.[13]

This includes mirrorless cameras as well as camcorders. First they were all called "NEX", but this name has been dropped for "ILCE" for the mirrorless stills cameras.

Flash system

[edit]
Main articles: iISO flash shoe and Multi Interface Shoe
Auto-lock Accessory Shoe (a.k.a. iISO hotshoe) used between 1988 and 2012

The 4-pin iISO flash shoe (also known as the Auto-lock Accessory Shoe) on all Sony DSLRs/SLTs and some NEX models up to 2012-08 was introduced by Minolta in 1988 for their Maxxum/Dynax/α series of A-mount AF SLRs and was also used on their digital DiMAGE A cameras series. It offers a slide-on auto-locking mechanism but is mechanically incompatible with hotshoes based on the ISO 518 standard as utilized by most other camera and accessory manufacturers. A compatible 7-pin variant existed as well, but was rarely used by Minolta, and not at all by Sony. The passive adapters Minolta FS-1100 and FS-PC allow to adapt Minolta AF and TTL flashes with ISO-based foot to cameras with Auto-lock Accessory Shoe, whereas the FS-1200 allows users to use AF TTL flashes with Auto-lock Accessory Foot on earlier Minolta SLRs. These adapters provide no voltage protection or galvanic isolation, but they maintain TTL support with Minolta film cameras. Digital cameras, however, require digital-ready flashes for TTL support. If no TTL support, but voltage protection and galvanic isolation is required, the Sony FA-HS1AM can be used instead to mount ISO-based equipment on Auto-lock Accessory Shoe cameras. If no electrical connection is required, the mechanical adapter Sony FA-SA1AM can be used as well.

In 2012-09 Sony introduced a new 21+3-pin ISO-518 compatible hotshoe called Multi Interface Shoe, replacing the Auto-lock Accessory Shoe, previously used with α equipment. The adapter ADP-MAA adapts existing 4-pin auto-lock foot flashes to cameras with the new Multi Interface Shoe, whereas the adapter ADP-AMA allows photographers to use some new equipment with Multi Interface shoe on older cameras with Auto-lock Accessory Shoe.

The first two flash models released by Sony (HVL-F36AM and HVL-F56AM) are, like the first generation of lenses, rebadged models of the Minolta Program Flash 3600HS(D) and the Minolta Program Flash 5600HS(D). Later on Sony expanded its flash system further, allowing advanced wireless flash control, including grouping of external flashes into groups with full ratio control.[14]

The HVL-RLAM and HVL-RL1 are ring-shaped LED continuous lights for use with video. To a limited extent they can also be used for macro photos of static objects, although a true macro flash is much preferred. The Sony flash system does not include a ring flash, but the Minolta R-1200 and 1200 AF ring flash heads can be used with the Minolta Macro Flash Controller MFC-1000 on Sony DSLRs as well, whereas the older Minolta Control Unit 1200 AF is not compatible with digital cameras. The MFC-1000 also accepts the Minolta Twin Flash T-2400 as well as the flash head of the Sony HVL-MT24AM twin flash, but not vice versa.

Vertical control grips

History and Development

Origins and A-mount Adoption

In 1985, introduced the A-mount system with the Maxxum 7000, the world's first mass-market 35mm SLR camera featuring integrated within the body and lens. This innovative mount, also known as the AF mount, established a new standard for SLR photography by combining electronic communication between the camera and lenses for precise focusing. Following the 2003 merger of and Minolta into , the company faced challenges in the shifting market, leading to the decision to exit the camera business. In January 2006, announced an agreement to transfer its camera operations, including intellectual property rights for the A-mount SLR system, to Corporation, with the acquisition finalized by the end of March 2006. This move allowed to enter the digital SLR market by leveraging 's established technology and manufacturing expertise. Sony's first digital A-mount camera, the DSLR-A100, launched in June 2006 as the inaugural model in the Alpha (α) series, marking the brand's debut in interchangeable-lens cameras. It featured a 10.2-megapixel CCD sensor and inherited 's in-body technology, known as Super SteadyShot, which provided effective shake reduction for handheld shooting. To support legacy users, Sony committed to full compatibility with existing Minolta AF lenses on its A-mount bodies, ensuring seamless integration of the extensive A-mount ecosystem. Prior to the full acquisition, and had collaborated since 2005 on joint development of digital SLRs using the A-mount, facilitating a smooth . This partnership enabled to rapidly build on Minolta's heritage while investing in digital innovations. A key milestone came in September 2007 with the release of the α700, Sony's first flagship DSLR, which introduced live view preview functionality for composing shots directly on the LCD screen. The α700 solidified the A-mount's role in Sony's growing Alpha lineup, evolving the analog roots into a .

Digital Alpha Launch

Sony entered the digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) market in June 2006 with the launch of the α (DSLR-A100), its first under the Alpha brand, building on the A-mount system acquired from . This positioned as a competitive player against established leaders Canon and Nikon, offering compatibility with an extensive legacy lens ecosystem while introducing proprietary digital technologies. The DSLR-A100 featured a 10.2-megapixel CCD sensor, marking 's commitment to high-resolution imaging in the consumer and segments. Key innovations in the initial Alpha series included the image processor, which debuted in the DSLR-A100 to enhance and overall image quality through advanced . Complementing this was Super SteadyShot in-body (SSIS), a sensor-shift system providing up to 3.5 stops of shake correction, effective across all compatible lenses and particularly beneficial for handheld shooting in low light. These features addressed common DSLR limitations, such as camera shake and high-ISO noise, setting the Alpha series apart in an era dominated by lens-based stabilization. The lineup progressed rapidly with the DSLR-A200 in September 2007, an entry-level model retaining the 10.2-megapixel sensor but adding refinements like improved ergonomics and faster continuous shooting at 2.5 frames per second. In September 2008, Sony introduced the α900, its first full-frame Alpha camera equipped with a 24.6-megapixel Exmor CMOS sensor, dual Bionz processors for 5 frames-per-second burst shooting, and an ISO range up to 6400, targeting professional photographers seeking expansive dynamic range and detail. The α850 followed in August 2009 as a more affordable full-frame option with the same 24.6-megapixel sensor but without live view, emphasizing still photography performance. By 2010, Sony had expanded its A-mount DSLR offerings to over 10 models, including mid-range bodies like the DSLR-A500 and A550, which introduced features such as tiltable LCDs and enhanced systems. This rapid proliferation solidified 's presence in the DSLR market, with subsequent A-mount cameras beginning to incorporate video capabilities, starting with recording in the SLT-A55 launched in August 2010.

Transition to E-mount and Mirrorless

In 2010, Sony introduced the NEX series as its first compact mirrorless interchangeable-lens cameras, marking the debut of the E-mount system designed for smaller form factors. The NEX-3 and NEX-5 models featured sensors with 14 megapixels and relied on electronic viewfinders or LCD screens without built-in optical viewfinders, emphasizing portability over traditional DSLR ergonomics. This launch responded to growing market demand for lightweight cameras capable of high-quality stills and video, allowing to differentiate from bulkier A-mount DSLRs. Concurrently, Sony developed the Single Lens Translucent (SLT) technology to bridge the gap toward mirrorless innovation within the A-mount ecosystem, debuting in the α55 camera that same year. The SLT design incorporated a fixed translucent mirror that reflected a portion of incoming light to the autofocus sensor while transmitting the rest to the main imaging sensor, enabling continuous phase-detection autofocus during live view and video recording without the mechanical mirror flip found in conventional DSLRs. This hybrid approach facilitated faster, more reliable performance in dynamic shooting scenarios, including 1080p video, and represented Sony's interim strategy to enhance video capabilities amid industry shifts toward compact, multimedia-focused systems. The E-mount's shorter flange distance of 18 mm played a pivotal role in this transition, enabling more compact lens designs and easier adaptation of legacy optics compared to the A-mount's 44.5 mm standard, which supported slimmer camera bodies and broader compatibility. Key drivers included surging consumer interest in smaller, video-centric cameras that could deliver professional results without the size penalties of mirror-based systems, prompting to prioritize E-mount development over sustained A-mount . By 2016, following the release of the α99 II as the final major A-mount body, ceased new A-mount camera development, with the line fully discontinued in 2021 and remaining lenses discontinued in 2022. A landmark milestone came in 2013 with the α7 series, Sony's first full-frame E-mount mirrorless cameras, which combined 35mm sensors in a compact body to accelerate the industry's pivot away from DSLRs toward mirrorless platforms. The α7 and α7R models offered high-resolution imaging and video in a form factor roughly half the size of comparable full-frame DSLRs, influencing competitors to follow suit. By 2025, the E-mount system had become dominant in Sony's lineup, with over 60 camera bodies released, underscoring the success of this strategic shift. Legacy A-mount lenses continue to be supported on E-mount bodies through dedicated adapters.

System Architecture

Lens Mount Specifications

The Sony α system's A-mount, derived from the AF lens mount, features an inner diameter of approximately 50 mm and a of 44.5 mm, allowing compatibility with both full-frame and sensors in single-lens translucent (SLT) camera bodies. This design supports electronic communication through five contact pins, enabling autofocus operation, aperture control from the camera body, and transmission of EXIF metadata such as and shooting parameters. In contrast, the E-mount, introduced in 2010 with the NEX series of mirrorless cameras, employs a narrower inner of 46.1 mm and a notably short of 18 mm, which facilitates the development of more compact camera bodies and lenses while accommodating both (designated as E lenses) and full-frame (designated as FE lenses) formats. Early implementations utilized five electronic contact pins for basic functions including , adjustment, and lens data exchange, but the mount has evolved to incorporate additional pins—up to 10 in recent models—to handle increased data bandwidth for advanced features like real-time eye detection . To bridge the two systems, Sony provides LA-EA series adapters, such as the LA-EA5, which mount A-mount lenses onto E-mount bodies while preserving electronic aperture control and integration with Optical SteadyShot (OSS) stabilization in compatible lenses, though performance may vary based on the lens motor type. The E-mount's architecture has seen key advancements since its inception; following the introduction of full-frame compatibility with the α7 series, updates enhanced data transfer rates to support higher-speed communication between lens and body. By 2025, the mount enables sophisticated capabilities, including 120 fps continuous shooting with AI-driven tracking for subjects like humans, animals, and vehicles, leveraging expanded pin configurations for seamless real-time processing.

Sensor and Imaging Technologies

The Sony α series has employed advanced sensor technologies since the introduction of the sensor in 2008 with the α900 full-frame DSLR, marking a shift from earlier CCD sensors for improved noise performance and readout speeds. This front-illuminated design enabled high-resolution imaging with 24.6 effective megapixels, setting the foundation for subsequent evolutions in the lineup. In 2009, Sony advanced to the back-illuminated R CMOS sensor, first implemented in the α500 and α550 DSLRs, which rearranged the wiring layer behind the photodiodes to enhance light sensitivity and low-light performance without increasing sensor size. A significant leap occurred in 2017 with the α9 mirrorless camera, featuring the world's first full-frame stacked back-side illuminated (BSI) RS with integrated memory. This architecture stacks the memory and processing circuits beneath the photodiodes, enabling rapid data readout for blackout-free continuous shooting at up to 20 frames per second while maintaining 24.2 effective megapixels and reducing noise through BSI design. The stacked BSI approach has since become a hallmark of high-end α models, prioritizing speed for action . In 2023, the α9 III introduced the first full-frame global shutter , a 24.6-megapixel stacked design that captures the entire image simultaneously, eliminating distortion common in fast-moving scenes and enabling 120 fps blackout-free shooting with full AF/AE tracking. Complementing these sensors, Sony's image processors have evolved to handle complex computations efficiently. The BIONZ XR processor, debuting in 2020 with the α7S III, represents an eightfold improvement in real-time processing speed over its predecessor, incorporating deep learning-based AI for enhanced subject recognition in systems. This processor powers Real-time Tracking , introduced in 2019 with the α6400, which uses 425 phase-detection points covering approximately 84% of the frame to maintain persistent focus on subjects like humans, animals, or birds by analyzing color, pattern, and distance data in real time. By 2022, models like the α7R V integrated a dedicated AI processing unit with BIONZ XR to refine subject detection, achieving broader recognition of poses and obscured subjects with phase-detection points contributing to tenacious tracking accuracy. Image stabilization in Sony α cameras relies on in-body image stabilization (IBIS) systems, typically providing 5-axis compensation for pitch, yaw, roll, X, and Y movements, with advancements reaching up to 8 stops of shake correction in the 2022 α7R V through refined gyroscopes and algorithms that detect shifts at the pixel level. In modern bodies, hybrid stabilization combines IBIS with Optical SteadyShot (OSS) in compatible E-mount lenses, where the camera coordinates lens-based optical correction for pitch and yaw with body-based adjustments for the remaining axes, yielding coordinated 5-axis performance exceeding 7 stops in many configurations. For video capabilities, Sony α cameras leverage sensor to deliver high-quality footage, such as 4K UHD from 6K or higher full-sensor readout and 8K from 8.6K in models like the α1, preserving detail without binning while supporting S-Log3 gamma for up to 15 stops of in grading. Recent updates in the 2024 α1 II extend this with 4K 120p slow-motion recording (with 1.1x crop) at 10-bit 4:2:2 , enabling 5x slow-motion playback from full-frame capture without line-skipping, further enhanced by the global shutter's distortion-free readout in the α9 III for smooth high-frame-rate video.

It featured a 100% coverage electronic viewfinder, weather-sealed body, and ISO up to 25,600 for low-light prowess. The α99 II, launched in September 2016 as the final flagship, advanced to a 42.4 MP full-frame , internal 4K UHD video at 30 fps with full pixel readout, and a hybrid 79-point (all cross-type) module paired with 399 on-sensor points for superior tracking of subjects up to 8 fps. This model included 5-axis stabilization, a 1.44 million-dot EVF, and enhanced dust- and moisture resistance, solidifying the A-mount's high-end legacy before production ceased. Across A-mount bodies, common attributes included a mix of optical viewfinders in early DSLRs and electronic viewfinders in SLT models for real-time exposure preview, alongside Sony's Super Dust Reduction or similar sealing mechanisms to protect sensors from contaminants. Many incorporated in-body effective up to 2.5 to 5 stops, depending on the model, enhancing handheld versatility with A-mount lenses.

A-mount Lenses

The A-mount lens system, inherited from Minolta's Maxxum lineup and expanded by since 2006, comprises a diverse array of designed for both (DT series) and full-frame sensors, emphasizing compatibility with Sony's single-lens reflex (SLR) and single-lens translucent (SLT) camera bodies. Native lenses number over 30 distinct models, covering wide-angle to super-telephoto focal lengths, with apertures as fast as f/1.4 for low-light and applications. These lenses integrate seamlessly with A-mount bodies via the 44.5mm distance mount, supporting screw-drive for older designs and in-lens motors for modern ones. Native offerings include optimized DT lenses, such as the DT 18-250mm f/3.5-6.3, a high-magnification all-in-one zoom released in 2007 that provides an effective 27-375mm equivalent range on crop-sensor cameras, ideal for travel and versatile shooting despite its variable . For full-frame compatibility, premium G-series lenses like the 70-200mm f/2.8 G SSM offer professional-grade telephoto performance with constant f/2.8 and Super Sonic wave Motor (SSM) for swift, silent . Prime examples span from the ultra-wide 16mm f/2.8 Fisheye for dramatic 180-degree views to the 500mm f/8 telephoto for compact long-reach wildlife imaging, while portrait favorites include the Planar T* 85mm f/1.4 ZA, renowned for its creamy and high-contrast rendering.
