This high-resolution Quad-VGA OLED
Tru-Finder has approximately 3.69
million dots for fine detail and high
contrast for accurate black reproduc-
tion. High luminance brings view-
finder brightness closer to that of the
actual scene. The high quality of the
viewfinder image and features like
focus magnification make it easier to
achieve perfect focus with just about
any subject in any situation.
Back illumination for high sensitiv-
ity, gapless on-chip lenses, anti-
reflective seal glass coating, no
optical low-pass filter, and other
advanced features contribute to un-
The latest high-speed front-end
LSI and updated BIONZ X™ image-
processing engine provide a dramatic
increase in system speed, plus an
impressive 15-stop dynamic range*
at low-sensitivity settings. Advances
have also been made in Sony’s Detail
Reproduction Technology and Area-
specific Noise Reduction features,
precedented imaging performance.
High resolution, high sensitivity with
low noise, and wide dynamic range
add up to vastly expanded shooting
potential.
reducing noise by as much as a full
stop** in the mid sensitivity range.
A sublime blend of high resolution
and low noise is ensured over a wide
sensitivity range, for outstanding
image quality and color accuracy that
are ideal for portraits and landscape
photography.
To ensure maximum reliability in
harsh conditions, body durability
has been enhanced by the use of a
102400 at the high end for wide cover-
age that can capture low-light scenes
with high quality and low noise.
lightweight, high-rigidity magne-
sium alloy for the top cover, front
cover, internal frame, and rear cover.
The digital output from the image
sensor’s AD converter is processed
in 16-bit form by the front-end LSI
and BIONZ X processor before being
output as compressed or uncom-
pressed 14-bit RAW files. The result
is smoother, more natural gradations
that contribute to higher overall im-
age quality. The enhanced image
processing system makes 14-bit RAW
output available even when shooting
in silent or continuous mode.*
“Standard” and “High” quality settings
are available for the viewfinder and
monitor. “High” takes advantage of the
large amount of data read from the
42.4 effective megapixel sensor to pro-
vide extra fine viewfinder and monitor
displays for a more natural view.
Increased lens mount rigidity maxi-
mizes durability when using heavy
optics, and the grip has been rede-
signed and unified with the front
cover using magnesium alloy for
higher overall rigidity.
A new shutter unit features a fast-
response coreless motor and brake
system that effectively subdues me-
chanical vibration. The shutter has
been tested for durability in excess
of 500,000 shutter cycles.*
Sealing is provided at critical loca-
tions to minimize dust and moisture
ingress, ensuring reliable operation
in challenging environments.
By magnifying the selected focus
area while using autofocus to shoot
stills this function makes it easier to
achieve perfect focus, especially for
macro photography and other criti-
cal applications.
The evolved BIONZ X processing
engine improves the accuracy of
“peaking” display that highlights
in-focus areas when focusing manu-
ally, making it easier to achieve
precise focus.
