Pentamirror tilt mechanism

for fast TTL phase-detection autofocusing

In a signicant breakth rough in digital SLR came ra design,
a unique Sony-developed pe ntamirror tilt mechanis m
enables true TTL (T hrough-The-Lens) phase -detection
autofocusing during live v iew operation. So whether you
frame your subject in the optica l viewnder or the LCD
monitor, you enjoy the benets of a fast, accu rate TTL
center-cross 9-point autofocu s system with continuous
autofocusing to help you capture fas t-moving subjects.

1200-zone evaluative metering

for spot-on exposures

During live view shooting, a n advanced 1200-zone meter-
ing system evaluates light levels an d color distribution to
calculate correct exposure with ex tremely high precisio n.
Incorporated into the dedicated li ve view image sensor,
it also oers you a choice of spot and ce nter-weighted
metering, just like an optica l metering system.

Real-time image-adjust ment display

Live view even lets you conrm the eects of
exposure and white balance a djustments on
the Clear Photo LCD monitor in real time —
something that is impos sible to do with an
optical viewnder.

Smart Teleconverter function in live view

Variable-angle LCD for freestyle

shooting ease

The variable-ang le Clear Photo LCD monitor can be tilted
upward by up to 130° or downward by up to 40° for easy
high- and low-posit ion shooting.

Ergonomic design for enhanced

shooting stability

The grip and body are desig ned to assure stable, secure
handling during hig h- and low-position l ive view shooting,
as well as during conventiona l shooting.
When you use the viewnder, you can a lso take advan-
tage of Sony Eye-Start® AF, which automa tically focuses
the camera as soon as you put your eye to the view nder.
During live view shooting, you ca n press the
Smart Teleconverter button o n the back of
the camera to instantly apply zoom s caling
that achieves the eective equival ent of 1.4x
or 2x magnication. The re's no reduction in
image quality becau se only the size of the
image area is reduced, and th anks to the
high resolution of the 350 's 14.2-megapixel
CCD, even 2x images can be turned into
great-looking prints.

Using Live View mode Using the viewnder

When you switch to live view operation, an innovative new
pentamirror tilt mechani sm directs the subject ima ge to a
dedicated live view sensor po sitioned over the viewnde r
eyepiece.
