Enjoy all the freedom of Quick AF Live View shooting with ultra-fast responses, generous creative options and extremely high quality, low noise images

The high-resolution CMOS sensor assures detail-packed pictures with excellent contrast and gorgeous colours. Exmor technology cuts noise while signals are converted to digital form. The result? Flawlessly beautiful images.

Absolutely sharp focus is a mark of pro-quality images that really stand out. Manual Focus Check Live View previews clear, bright full-resolution images on the LCD screen for accurate checking. You can zoom in on screen to confirm pin-sharp clarity of the finest details. It’s great for macro photography, portraits, still life and architectural scenes where perfect focus is critical.

Capture fast-moving action or the changing expression of a portrait subject with a continuous burst of images. Speed Priority mode shoots at a lightning-fast 7 frames per second.

Don’t miss those vital details. The Xtra Fine LCD screen gives you an incredible view of all your shots, with superb colour reproduction and contrast. It’s ideal for checking correct focus and exposure when you’re reviewing pictures after shooting.

The LCD screen tilts up or down for comfortable viewing in different shooting positions. It’s really useful if you’re not holding the camera close to your eye: for example of you’re shooting above a crowd or crouching down for an interesting viewpoint.
