THE WORLD’S FIRST* XGA OLED
VIEWFINDER
#
FOR SUPREME
COMFORT AND EASE
Unrivaled resolution, contrast and response
Camera technology takes a major
leap forward with the introduction of
theworld’sfirst*OLEDviewfinder.This
extraordinarynewXGAOLEDTru-Finder
displays your scene with incredible
contrast, clarity and color accuracy.
Since Translucent Mirror Technology
transmits the same image to the
viewfinder and image sensor, you can
view exactly what will appear in your
photo, including defocusing effects
that faithfully reflect your aperture
settings. You can therefore perfect
the background as well as your main
subject when composing photos.
Moreover, viewing is supremely easy
inanytypeoflighting—adistinct
advantage over optical viewfinders
that are hard to view in the dark and
LCD monitors that are difficult to view in
bright sunlight. This viewing ease makes
it much easier to concentrate on the
scene.
Thebacklight-freedesignofOLED
technology delivers incredible contrast
—10timeshigherthanconventional
electronicviewfinders—thatbroadens
thedynamicrange.AcceleratedOLED
response also virtually eliminates both
motion blur and residual images when
tracking moving objects or displaying
recorded movies. Slim unit dimensions
gave Sony extra freedom to achieve
advanceslikeawide33.3°viewing

adjustment of focus via Focus Magnifier,
which enlarges part of the image so you
can fine-tune the focus and then zoom
out to capture the shot.

The viewfinder is so informative and
easy to view that every step in the
photographicprocess—including
setting up shooting parameters and
previewing their effects in real-time,
framing your subject and fine-tuning
thefocuswiththeEnlargementfeature,
shooting photos and movies, and
checkingfinalresults—caneasilybe
handled from start to finish without
removing your eye from the viewfinder.
This is true even in bright outdoor
lighting and during sports, portrait and
macro photography. So you can fully
concentrate on capturing spectacular
images.
Since the viewfinder image is just as
dim or bright as the actual scene,
viewing is remarkably easy in any type
oflighting—agenuineadvantage
over optical viewfinders that are difficult
to view in dark settings and rear LCD
monitors that are hard to view in bright
settings.
This convenient alternative to zooming
makes it easy to capture distant
subjectswhileviewingthefinder.Press
the Smart Teleconverter button on the

Whenever you desire assistance
