with Autofocus
In a Class of its Own
Concentrate on your subject and leave everything else
to the Sinar m and its Sinaron Digital AF Mirror Module.
Its autofocus system works with absolute reliability – with
the precision of a Swiss clock. What’s more, its speed
should thoroughly impress every professional user,
because it is among the very fastest of its class.
In cooperation with the firm of Carl Zeiss, the lenses
for the autofocus configuration of the Sinar m camera
were specially designed to meet the highest demands of
digital photography. This means, among other criteria,
high resolving power and the very best contrast rendition
all the way to the edges of the image circle.
It is not only with regard to optical quality that we have
charted new paths with Sinaron Digital AF lenses, but
also with their operation: The focus can also be adjusted
manually at any time by means of a focusing ring on the
lens that reacts intelligently. When that ring is turned
slowly, it activates the finest focusing steps, when the
ring is turned quickly, it produces greater focusing steps.
A precise exposure metering system was also developed
for this system. It has several metering modes and
automatic exposure features, as well as TTL flash control.
Precision is Fundamental
The high performance capability of current and
future systems requires an extremely precise
camera- and lens technology. Only with that high
level of precision can the performance capability
of modern sensors with smaller pixel sizes on the
same surface area be utilized effectively while still
achieving the required data quality. Compromises
in precision add up to significant losses in quality,
which is why the investment in a high-resolution
digital back can only be justified in conjunction with
appropriately precise camera systems. Because of
the smaller pixels of modern sensors, this fact has to
be taken into account increasingly.
