Sony’s next-generation camera technologies

Lens and Bionz for mobile designed in collaboration with Sony’s Alpha engineers for clear, vivid imagery
every time, and better photos even under poor lighting conditions.
The Xperia™ Z5 Compact is equipped with Hybrid Autofocus, which lets you capture action and
movement accurately in various shooting conditions. Hybrid Autofocus uses two technologies to produce

speed of <0.1 seconds.
