Refined for smooth, stable shooting Outstanding viewing and capture quality Quad-VGA OLED Tru-Finder with 120 fps* refresh rate A high-luminance 3686K-dot Quad-VGA OLED Tru-Finder reproduces the finest details, and incorporates advanced optics for 0.78x magnification with outstanding cornerto-corner clarity. The legendary ZEISS T* coating greatly reduces reflections. A 120 fps* frame rate provides a smooth viewfinder image with minimum display motion blur when shooting moving subjects, and high luminance keeps the brightness of the viewfinder image close to that of the actual scene for natural, seamless viewing. There's even a fluorine coating on the outermost viewfinder lens that repels fingerprints, dust, water, oil, and dirt. * When the auto or electronic shutter mode is selected the viewfinder frame rate is fixed at 60 fps during continuous shooting. 5.0-step* 5-axis image stabilization A newly developed 5-axis optical image stabilization unit and high-precision gyro sensors provide a 5.0-step* shutter speed advantage for full-frame images. Camera shake is effectively compensated for in 5 axes: pitch and yaw that have the largest overall impact on image quality, X and Y shift that is most apparent at high magnification, and roll that can ruin night shots and movies. Stabilization is applied to the live-view image, making it easier to frame fast-moving subjects. Effective stabilization is provided for movies as well as stills, and for A-mount lenses attached via a mount adapter. * CIPA standards. Pitch/yaw shake only. Planar T* FE 50mm F1.4 ZA lens. Long exposure NR off. Quick, efficient control AF-ON button The AF-ON button activates autofocus when shooting stills or movies, presetting focus so you can release the shutter or start recording instantly without having to go through the normal half-press autofocus sequence. Use it to preset focus for moving subjects, or to take multiple shots while keeping the focus fixed. Drive and focus mode dials Stacked independently operable dials allow fast selection of drive and focus modes. Quickly select the single or continuous drive mode, or the single AF or continuous AF focus mode, for example, without having to scroll through menus. Both dials are lockable, preventing unwanted mode changes during use. Multi-selector The multi-selector provides a fast, efficient way to shift focus points: simply press the up, down, left, or right button. When reviewing shots in playback mode the multi-selector is used to select the previous or next image. Touch Focus* Focusing doesn't get any more intuitive than this. With Touch Focus you can simply touch the LCD screen to specify the desired focus point. Even subjects near the edges of the frame can be instantly selected without having to reframe or manually shift the focus point. Double-tap any point on the monitor for a magnified view of that area when focusing manually. Touch AF allows smooth focus point changes when shooting movies too. *This camera does not include a touchpad function. Customizable versatility My Menu & new menu interface A new My Menu feature allows up to 30 menu items to be registered for instant recall when needed. The registered items can be arranged in any convenient order, and unused items can be erased as required. The primary menus have also been reorganized for smoother search and operation. Focus Area Registration Frequently used focus area settings can be memorized and recalled via custom button assignments when needed. This can be handy when the ideal focus point for an action shot changes often, for example. The AF area can also be set as required for optimum focus performance with any type of scene. Recall Custom Setting during Hold In addition to customizable function assignments for the custom buttons, AF-ON button, AEL button and others, camera settings such as shutter speed, aperture, AF area, and others, can be assigned to the buttons for "momentary" recall while the key is held. Switch Vertical and Horizontal AF Area You can use separate or identical focus areas and points for horizontal and vertical camera orientations, as required by the shooting situation. The ability to use separate focus areas and points reduces the need to readjust focus when shooting sports, portraits, or any subject that requires frequent camera orientation changes, for smooth, efficient operation. Custom button assignments Custom button assignments allow the camera interface to be customized for individual shooting preferences. 11 buttons can all be reassigned to select functions of your own choosing. 72 functions are available for assignment. 22 23
