At last, live view shooting

with true SLR-class autofocusing

Pentamirror tilt mechanism

for fast TTL phase-detection autofocusing

In a signi￿cant breakthrough in digital SLR camera design,

aunique Sony-developed pentamirror tilt mechanism enables true TTL (Through-The-Lens) phase-detection autofocusing during live view operation. So whether you frame your subject in the optical view￿nder or the LCD monitor, you enjoy the bene￿ts of a fast, accurate TTL center-cross 9-point autofocus system with continuous autofocusing to help you capture fast-moving subjects.

1200-zone evaluative metering for spot-on exposures

During live view shooting, an advanced 1200-zone meter- ing system evaluates light levels and color distribution to calculate correct exposure with extremely high precision. Incorporated into the dedicated live view image sensor, it also o￿ers you a choice of spot and center-weighted metering, just like an optical metering system.
