Translucent Mirror Technology™

Faster, more responsive autofocus

Found in every α SLT camera by Sony, award-winning Translucent Mirror Technology™ opens up exciting new creative possibilities for every photographer.

Translucent Mirror Technology™ splits the optical pathway between main image sensor and a dedicated AF sensor.

Eliminating the moving mirror found in DSLR cameras, this ground-breaking design allows non-stop image preview with high speed, high precision phase detection autofocus. It’s equally effective whether you’re shooting stills or HD movies.

Sony wins at 2011 TIPA Awards

Translucent Mirror Technology™ by Sony has been named ‘Best Imaging Innovation’ by judges at the world’s most coveted photo and imaging awards event.

Judges at the 2011 TIPA Awards described Translucent Mirror Technology™ as achieving ‘a new level of functionality’.

Smooth, silent autofocus

Translucent Mirror Technology™ in the LA-EA2 lens mount adapter autofocus enables smooth, silent phase detection autofocus with A-mount lenses and your α NEX camera or Handycam NEX camcorder.

It’s equally effective during stills or video shooting, keeping subjects accurately focused and allowing you to concentrate on your composition. Even if your subject’s moving rapidly in the frame, Translucent Mirror Technology™ ensures that your camera’s A-mount lens stays focused on the action.

LA-EA2 lens mount adapter
