New autofocus system for DSLR-like response
NEX is equipped with Sony’s Fast Hybrid AF* — an innovation that combines the hyper-responsiveness of phase-detection AF with the precision of contrast-detection AF. First, fast phase-detection AF quickly moves the lens to bring the subject into near focus after which highly precise contrast-detection AF finishes focusing. It all happens in the blink of an eye so you’re always assured of capturing every fleeting moment.
* See “Lens support for Fast Hybrid AF” on the back cover for details on compatible lenses.
