Capture the moment as you see it - Touch AF Shutter

Instant Focusing/Shutter Release with Touch AF Shutter
Just touch the image of your subject in the Live View screen. Instantly your camera focuses on the subject with the FAST AF system, while the quick-response Touch Shutter grabs the picture with no delay. The result: a new style of shooting that's more natural, more intuitive, and guaranteed to capture exactly what you're feeling at that moment.

Touch the Live View screen! - Touch AF Shutter
The rear-panel monitor features a capacitive touchscreen panel that responds quickly to even the lightest touch. Adjusting the camera‘s position so that it would focus on the desired subject used to be difficult; now, all you have to do is touch the subject you want to focus on. So you can compose your image however you like and get exactly the shot you want every time. Composing that image is easy, too, thanks to a gapless structure design that suppresses optical reflections and an anti-fingerprint coating that assures vivid color reproduction with higher legibility whether you're outside in bright sunlight or indoors in a dimly illuminated room.
