Look closely: you’ve never seen anything like it

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.

Enjoy a brighter outlook

Take a look through the bright optical viewfinder. You’ll be amazed by an exceptionally clear view of your subject, with 98% field coverage… so what you see is exactly what you shoot.

Control the show in comfort

Connect the camera to your BRAVIA television - then effortlessly control playback functions with your BRAVIA TV’s remote. There’s no need to get up from your favourite chair to enjoy the show in sparkling HD.

Get tough… whatever the weather

It’s all about inner strength. The rugged aluminium chassis is teamed with magnesium alloy body panels for extra strength while keeping weight to a minimum. Vulnerable controls and other sensitive areas are protected from dust and moisture for worry-free outdoor shooting.
