World’s smallest lightest interchangeable lens full-frame camera: Sony’s Exmor image sensor takes full advantage of the Full-frame format, but in a camera body less than half the size & weight of a full-frame DSLR. Full Frame 24.3 MP resolution with 14-bit RAW output: A whole new world of high-quality images are realized through the 24.3 MP effective 3.5cm full-frame sensor, a normal sensor range of ISO 100 – 25600, & a sophisticated balance of high resolving power, gradation & low noise. The BIONZ X image processor enables up to 5 fps high-speed continuous shooting & 14-bit RAW image data recording. Fast Hybrid AF w/ phase-detection for DSLR-like focusing speed: Enhanced Fast Hybrid auto focus combines speedy phase-detection AF with highly accurate contrast-detection AF, which has been accelerated through a new Spatial Object Detection algorithm, to achieve among the fastest autofocusing performance of any full-frame camera. First, phase-detection AF with 117 densely placed phase-detection AF points 2 swiftly & efficiently moves the lens to bring the subject nearly into focus. Then contrast-detection AF with wide AF coverage fine-tunes the focusing in the blink of an eye. Fast Intelligent AF for responsive, accurate, & greater operability with full frame sensor: The high-speed image processing engine & enhanced algorithms combine with optimized image sensor read-out speed to achieve ultra high-speed AF despite the use of a full-frame sensor. New Eye AF control: Even when capturing a subject partially turned away from the camera with a shallow depth of field, the face will be sharply focused thanks to extremely accurate eye detection that can prioritize a single pupil. A green frame appears over the prioritised eye when focus has been achieved for easy confirmation. Eye AF can be used when the function is assigned to a customizable button, allowing users to instantly activate it depending on the scene.
