Set your creativity free with Quick AF Live View freestyle shooting
Quick AF Live View sets your creativity free by delivering on the full promise of SLR-class live view shooting. Unlike previous systems that required a tradeo in autofocusing per­formance, there's no compromise with the 350's Quick AF Live View. Instead, you get full SLR functionality and image quality, plus the ability to shoot easily and comfortably from angles and positions you never could before. So you can take advantage of more spur-of-the-moment photo opportunities, and capture more of those magic moments that SLR photography is all about.

High-position shooting ease
The 350's variable-angle Clear Photo LCD monitor makes it easy to maximize the shoot­ing freedom oered by Quick AF Live View. For high-position shots, the monitor can be angled downward, enabling you to frame your subject accurately even with the camera held at arm's length above you. As a result, you can take well-composed photos at sports events, concerts, and other public venues even when you need to shoot over the heads of a crowd.

Low-position shooting comfort
Low-position shooting is also easier and more comfortable with Quick AF Live View. The Clear Photo LCD can be angled upward, making it possible to frame your subject cor­rectly even when taking waist-level, knee-level, or ground-level shots. As a result, you can re­main face to face with your subjects and talk to them to put them at ease, and assume a more comfortable posture when taking macro close-ups of owers or eye-level portraits of pets and children.

Variable-angle LCD for freestyle shooting ease
The variable-angle Clear Photo LCD monitor can be tilted upward by up to 130° or downward by up to 40° for easy high- and low-position shooting.
Ergonomic design for enhanced shooting stability
The grip and body are designed to assure stable, secure handling during high- and low-position live view shooting, as well as during conventional shooting.
1200-zone evaluative metering for spot-on exposures
During live view shooting, an advanced 1200-zone meter­ing system evaluates light levels and color distribution to calculate correct exposure with extremely high precision. Incorporated into the dedicated live view image sensor, it also oers you a choice of spot and center-weighted metering, just like an optical metering system.
Real-time image-adjustment display
Live view even lets you conrm the eects of exposure and white balance adjustments on the Clear Photo LCD monitor in real time — something that is impossible to do with an optical viewnder.

Smart Teleconverter function in live view
During live view shooting, you can press the Smart Teleconverter button on the back of the camera to instantly apply zoom scaling that achieves the eective equivalent of 1.4x or 2x magnication. There's no reduction in image quality because only the size of the image area is reduced, and thanks to the high resolution of the 350's 14.2-megapixel CCD, even 2x images can be turned into great-looking prints.

Vibrant, true-to-life color reproduction with rich image detail and tonal gradation
Class-leading 14.2-megapixel resolution for beautiful photos with ultra-ne image detail
The 350 is equipped with the class-leading resolution of an exclusive Sony-developed APS-C type CCD image sensor with 14.2 eective megapixels. Measuring 23.5 x
15.7mm, the sensor boasts approximately 15 times the surface area of the 1/2.5-type sensors employed in most compact digital cameras, and combines the triple advan­tages of high resolution, high sensitivity, and a rich tonal range. With this kind of imaging power you can capture details as ne as a single eyelash, and skin tones that glow with natural, true-to-life color. To signicantly reduce the analog signal noise that tends to increase at high pixel densities, CCD performance also benets from Sony’s long experience in semiconductor and microprocessor manufacturing, and utilizes advanced new peripheral circuit design technologies. As a result, the 350 oers an unrivaled combination of ultra-high resolu­tion and low-noise image clarity, as well as faster, more responsive shooting.
