Power for worry-free shooting
New InfoLITHIUM TM battery with high-precision level display
To provide plenty of power for worry-free extended shooting, the
is equipped with a newly developed high-density InfoLITHIUM battery
(NP-FM500H). When fully charged, it packs enough power for approximately
650 shots*. In addition, battery level is displayed in precise 1% increments
that never leave you guessing, and as a quick-view 5-level icon.
Anti-dust protection for
cleaner images
With any digital SLR camera, care needs to be
taken to ensure that airborne dust particles
don’t get into the camera and contaminate
the sensor when you’re changing lenses. On
the
, an anti-dust coating prevents static
electricity buildup on the low-pass filter, and
makes it easier to remove any stray dust par-
ticles inside the camera with a blower. In ad-
dition, the image sensor itself is fitted with an
anti-dust system that dislodges dust particles
by vibrating the sensor at high-speed every
time the camera is switched off.
* CIPA standard test; built-in flash used on 50% of shots.
