(Movie and Still: Posterization, Pop Photo, Partial Color, High contrast Monochrome, Toy Camera)(Still Only:Soft Focus, Miniature) 25-point Auto Focus Twenty five AF points cover a very wide area of the scene, for accurate focusing even when the subject is far from the center of the frame. 7 AF/MF switch for creative control Whether you’re shooting video or still images the attached lens will auto focus quietly and quickly, however if you want to utilize MF, this simple switch will put you in the driver’s seat. Anti-Dust Technology Anti-Dust Technology helps keep the CMOS sensor clean, resulting in consistently clear pictures. First a static-free coating on the sensor's low-pass filter helps repel dust. Then vibration automatically dislodges dust from the sensor, especially when you're changing lenses in-between video sessions. Removable Flash Media slot For convenient storage and sharing of your images and videos, the media card slot accepts Memory Stick Duo™ / Memory Stick PRO Duo™ / Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo™ media and SD/ SDHC/SDXC media (all sold separately).
