The Sony Alpha 58 achieves unsurpassable image clarity with translucent mirror technology. With groundbreaking Lock-on AF, you can shoot fast moving subjects with more precision and continuous focus. Along with other functions, this SLT camera ensures you capture every moment effortlessly.
Lock-on Auto Focus
Through proprietary Sony Translucent Mirror Technology and subject size detection, Lock-on AF continuously adjusts target frame size, based on various subject characteristics and dramatically increases the in-focus rate. Lock-on AF combines with your selected AF area mode to instantly lock on your subject and take advantage of highly accurate, Full-time Continuous AF.

High-resolution, High-contrast OLED Tru-Finder
Framing, focusing and real-time preview of exposure adjustments are much easier with the OLED Tru-Finder electronic viewfinder. All thanks to the Translucent Mirror Technology that enables you to accurately monitor the results of your settings by faithfully displaying details exactly as they appear.
15 points AF System With 3 Cross Sensors
This camera is designed to freeze the action, its three cross sensors in the 15 points AF system enable more accurate and reliable tracking of moving subjects than vertical and horizontal sensors can provide, even in dim lighting. You can choose any of our four AF area modes (Wide, Zone, Spot or Local) depending on your needs.
Auto Object Framing
α58 makes it easy to create beautifully balanced images whether shooting a person, an object or both. Simply photograph your subject and the Auto Object Framing feature automatically saves a trimmed image (in addition to your original image) to help you compose your shots like a professional.
Note: Optimal results may not be possible in certain shooting conditions.
