For fascinating background blurring effects making use of the characteristics of an interchangeable-lens camera, just set the mode dial to BC. After determining the focus and the distance to the subject, the Q7 automatically blurs the foreground and background.
The Q7 focuses quickly and accurately by detecting up to 25 focus areas on the subject. You can also shift the focus area and change the size, and you can select the AF method (face detection, tracking, spot, etc.) that best fits your situation.
With the Q7, it is easy to take photographs of moving subjects that are normally considered hard to capture. A top continuous shooting speed of 5 fps means that you will not miss your subject’s decisive moment even with the unpredictable movement of small children, animals, sports, splashing water, etc.
Featuring an antireflection coating to improve visibility, the Q7 LCD monitor has approximately 460,000 dots and a wide viewing angle of approximately 100%. The many functions to assist shooting include a grid display convenient for image framing.
The pop-up flash mechanism makes it less likely that a lens shadow will appear in the image, and it is also effective for preventing red-eye in people shots. The flash can also handle both slow-speed synchronization, which can capture both the subject and background in proper exposure in sunset scenes, and trailing curtain synchronization, which can naturally capture the trail made by a car’s lights.
With maximum sensitivity of ISO12800, you can easily shoot both still photographs and movies in dark situations and get vivid images with minimal noise. The ability to shoot without lowering the shutter speed also serves to reduce blurring caused by camera shake and subject movement.
This function emphasizes the outline of the portion of the screen that is in focus. It is convenient when shooting with manual focusing (MF) since the peak focus position is easier to identify.
The Q7 has a sensor-shift in-body SR (Shake Reduction) system. It suppresses blurring in shake-prone conditions, such as when shooting low-light scenes and distant subjects. If the focal length is entered, shake reduction can operate even with lenses other than Q-mount lenses.
The ultrasonic vibration mechanism for dust removal has been further enhanced. It efficiently removes dust and dirt adhering to the CMOS sensor.
