Detail
"High Resolution Camera" without mirror guarantee sharp images by avoiding Mirror Shock, Shutter Shock and Camera Shake. The image processing system has evolved to deliver high resolution and low noise throughout a wider ISO range. The camera depicts the mood of every scene's surroundings as well as the texture of details.
Enhanced eye AF and resolution
Make a huge print, or display all the intricate details of an image on a high resolution TV / monitor or on the web. With 4K TV screens and monitors already hitting mainstream and with 8K devices on the horizon, we can see that the future technology is clearly in favour of higher resolution cameras. When stores showcase 4K TV screens today, they load special footage that was captured with high-resolution cameras to showcase the intricate details that a 4K TV screen is capable of displaying. So high resolution cameras automatically imply higher amount of details in images and video footage.
Enhanced image stabilisation
Thanks to the enhanced 5-axis in-camera image stabiliser, whenever you want to move and shoot freely, you can rely on high-resolution performance and mobility, in order to concentrate on the subject without worrying about various types of camera-shake blur.
