Conventional autofocus has until now dealt with space alone.
Sony goes one step further — a big step, with an innovative image sensor that
picks up both space and time to capture moving subjects with new clarity. Sony spells the beginning of a new autofocus era.
4D FOCUS allows you to take crisper photos than ever. Plain old autofocus is a
thing of the past. The future of photography is in motion.
