Accelerated response on a full-time basis Translucent Mirror Technology Sony Translucent Mirror Technology revolutionizes interchangeable-lens photography by enabling simultaneous focusing and image capturing on a full-time basis. Unlike competing cameras that swing a mirror to either direct light toward the AF sensor or the image sensor–one at a time, the a77 continuously directs light to both sensors simultaneously via a stationary translucent mirror.
