The 60 fps Live View is powered with the Live MOS sensor, that takes signals directly from the actual sensor and sends them continuously in to the LCD, in real time. Both the Live View Finder and LCD provide approximately 100% field of view. This will give anyone, when composing a trial, to look for the framing accurately from corner to corner. Several.0 inch large 460,000 dot high resolution LCD with wide viewing angle automatically controls the brightness using the situation being a Intelligent LCD.

The 12.1 megapixel Live MOS sensor as well as the new Venus Engine HD II aid in separate chromatic noise from luminance noise and apply the perfect noise reduction to every, so users can capture clear and beautiful images regardless of whether shooting at high ISO sensitivity levels.

Venus Engine HD II

The high speed, high performance Venus Engine HD II, which has been re engineered to include the newest image processing technology, Intelligent Resolution, enables the recording of beautiful photo and HD video with good quality signal processing. With Intelligent Resolution technology, three areas outlines, detailed texture areas and soft gradation are automatically detected. The outline parts are enhanced effectively to make edges increased clarity, while simultaneously giving a moderate accentuation towards the textured areas so they really look finely detailed. For the soft gradation areas, the improved noise reduction system of this Venus Engine HD II is applied to achiever a smoother effect. In addition to the uniform enhancement of sharpness, the innovative technology Intelligent Resolution precisely performs signal processing pixel by pixel in your ultimate way, which means images which can be naturally clear.
