domain of professional cameras including expanded focus for precise manual focus control,
zebra and peaking for precision focus and exposure adjustments.

potential for photo/movie shooting. Attach an optional XLR adapter to the Multi-Interface shoe

Picture Effects adds a new level of expression to photos and video, making ordinary images and
scenes come to life by heightening mood and emphasizing certain attributes. (Movie and Still:
Posterization,Pop Photo, Partial Color, High contrast Monochrome, Toy Camera)(Still Only:Soft
Focus,Miniature)
25-point Auto Focus
Twenty five AF points cover a very wide area of the scene, for accurate focusing even when the
subject is far from the center of the frame.

AF/MF switch for creative control
Whether you’re shooting video or still images the attached lens will auto focus quietly and
quickly, however if you want to utilize MF, this simple switch will put you in the driver’s seat.
Anti-Dust Technology
Anti-Dust Technology helps keep the CMOS sensor clean, resulting in consistently clear
pictures. First a static-free coating on the sensor's low-pass filter helps repel dust. Then vibration
automatically dislodges dust from the sensor, especially when you're changing lenses in-between
video sessions.
Removable Flash Media slot
For convenient storage and sharing of your images and videos, the media card slot accepts
Memory Stick Duo™ / Memory Stick PRO Duo™ / Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo™ media and SD/
SDHC/SDXC media (all sold separately).
