The camera is compatible with SD, SDHC, and SDXC memory cards, as well as Memory Stick Pro Duo. This gives you flexibility to choose the storage you prefer, although we recommend using high-speed cards for uninterrupted Full HD video recording.
Can I transfer photos to my phone wirelessly?
Yes, the Sony A5100 has built-in Wi-Fi. You can use Sony's Imaging Edge Mobile app to transfer images and videos to your smartphone or tablet, and also control the camera remotely from your mobile device.
Does the camera have image stabilization?
