Enhanced new Tru-Finder ™ EVF
The Tru-Finder ™ electronic viewfinder
delivers class-leading viewing ease thanks
to sharp 1440k-dot (SVGA) resolution, a
23.1mm eye-point, and a notably wide
31.9° viewing angle that leaves competing
optical viewfinders behind. A 100% field
of view combines with faithful effects
previews to ensure that what you see in
the viewfinder is exactly what you see
in your photos and movies. So you can
fine-tune every aspect of your image with
confidence and achieve desired results.
On-screen displays keep you informed
of current camera settings.
Effects previews
Unlike optical viewfinders, Sony’s Tru-Finder ™ electronic viewfinder
displays exactly what will appear in your photos and movies,
including the effects of exposure control, white balance and
creative styles—as well as background defocusing if you press
the Preview button. These capabilities are made possible by
Translucent Mirror Technology, which enables real-time viewing
of the image captured by the image sensor at all times.
Adjustable eye-point
Two finder magnification ratios are selectable, allowing you to switch from the default
(max.) mode to the standard (lower ratio) mode to support an extended eye-point. At the
maximum 23.1mm eye-point, the entire frame is easy to see even when wearing glasses.
