Full-time Continuous AF
Accelerated full-time continuous phase-
detection autofocusing keeps your
subject sharply focused at all times. Even
at maximum continuous shooting speed
and during live-view movie shooting—
thanks to revolutionary Translucent Mirror
Technology. You can clearly capture sports
action and fleeting facial expressions
without resorting to manual focusing. The
speed and precision of phase-detection
autofocusing lets you effortlessly capture
dramatic moments in all types of situations
with professional-looking results.
Up to 10 fps continuous shooting (in
Continuous Advance Priority AE mode)
This professional-level continuous shooting
speed gives you a decisive advantage when
capturing sports action and fleeting facial
expressions. You can capture up to 10
images with clarity and precision at full 24.3
megapixel resolution. Moreover, you can
enjoy the expressive power and flexibility
of interchangeable lenses without slowing

15-point AF system with
3 cross sensors
The phase-detection autofocusing
system spreads 15 AF sensors over a
wide AF area to increase your framing
freedom and keep moving subjects
in focus. It includes 3 cross sensors
that deliver more accurate and
reliable tracking than sensors with only
vertical or horizontal detection can
achieve. This AF system additionally
improves autofocusing performance
in low brightness conditions to ensure
precision focusing wherever and
whenever you shoot.
Approximately 50 millisecond minimum
release time lag
When photo opportunities arise, accelerated
shutter response lets you capture decisive
moments with confidence. An innovative
electronic front curtain shutter in the image
sensor slashes shutter release time lag to a
class-leading 0.05 second* is approximate
and produces less shutter noise and
vibration than a mechanical front curtain
shutter. If desired, a mechanical front curtain
shutter can be activated through the MENU.
