Expanded Live View Flexibility

With two Live View modes, the ?550 expands your shooting opportunities. Quick Auto Focus Live View uses a second imager, eliminating the focus delay of other systems. Manual Focus Check Live View provides precise 100% view and 7x/14x focus magnification for macro and tripod shots. The 921K 3″ LCD tilts to let you frame high and low angle shots.

Image Quality and High Sensitivity

An all-new 14.2-megapixel Exmor CMOS image sensor and BIONZ image processing engine delivers significantly improved image quality with high-sensitivity shooting at up to ISO12800. Plus, separate chroma and luminance processing reduces noise in high sensitivity shots without blurring fine detail.

Dynamic Range Management

To capture the highlight and shadow of high contrast scenes, ?550 features both DRO and Auto HDR modes. DRO analyzes areas of an image to recover shadow detail while Auto HDR instantly takes two shots-one for highlights and one for shadows, and combines them for a single, incredible image beyond the limits of a single exposure, right in the camera.

Responsive High-speed Shooting

Focus on a subject fast with the ?550’s 9-area tracking auto focus system, possible even in Live View mode. Capture the decisive moment in sports with a fast shutter speed and 5 frames/sec continuous shooting (optical VF, 4 fps Live View). You can even shoot up to a blazing 7 frames/sec in Speed Priority mode.

Informative User Interface

An integrated on-screen Help Guide and Graphic Display improve on the already easy-to-use menu. The Help Guide provides a selectable, handy reference to the camera modes and settings while the Graphic Display illustrates the relationship between aperture and shutter speed, and can be superimposed on the Live View display.

Get the Best Shot

Quick AF Live View is enhanced with Face Detection and Smile Shutter technology. Face Detection helps you get the best shot by recognizing faces and optimizes focus, exposure and white balance. Smile Shutter technology automatically takes the shot when your subject smiles. Both can make the difference between missed shots and a cherished memory
