The A560 features the Sony's Exmor APS HD CMOS sensor, Multi-frame Noise Reduction, Sweep Panorama mode, 3D Sweep Panorama and Full HD 1920x1080 60i video capture.

The A560 offers the same features of its predecessor, the DSLR-A550, which introduced Quick AF Live View, 7fps continuous shooting and Auto HDR to the step-up DSLR class. The A560 uses a 15-point AF system with 3 cross-type points, an increase from the 9-point AF system on board the A550. The A560 comes with the Sweep Panorama technology which enables it to capture shots up to 180 degree horizontal or 126-degree vertical shots (18 mm focal length). With 3D Sweep Panorama mode, the camera can shoot 3D panoramic still images with a single lens. The high-speed burst of frames is stitched together using innovative processing techniques to automatically create detail-packed 3D panoramas. These files can be viewed on compatible 3D televisions. Your pictures will take on the same intensity as when you're playing a high stakes game of Party Poker or riding a roller-coaster - it's 3D capabilities are remarkably vivid. The In-camera High Dynamic Range (HDR) function has been further enhanced incorporating three shots. It can capture highlights, midtones and shadows. The feature handles severe backlighting and other high-contrast scenes like looking out a window into bright daylight. The in-camera auto HDR technology combines the highlight, midtone and shadow detail of three separate captures into one remarkably natural looking image. The A560 offers a maximum Auto HDR range of 6EV.
