The incredible ease of Quick AF Live View* shooting with a variable-angle LCD monitor
Quick AF Live View is an α system feature that lets you compose your shots on the LCD monitor – instead of only in the optical viewfinder.
And unlike the live view systems found on compact cameras and other SLR cameras, Quick AF Live View offers nearly instantaneous autofocus response. So it's much easier to capture the magic moments that photography is all about. What's more, the variable-angle LCD monitor
can be tilted up or down, making it easy to frame your subject even
when taking high-position and low-position shots.
* Live View is featured in DSLR-A330 and A380 models only
