Up to 60 times per second continuous AF / AE calculation³

Stay focused, no matter what's happening in front of you. The Xperia 1 II continuously calculates autofocus and exposure up to 60 times per second. And with new algorithms for AF precision and performance, you'll get clear, in-focus shots of even fast-moving scenes.

The sensor designed for speed

Focus fast in any condition – day or night – with our innovative camera system. A Dual Photo Diode sensor⁵ delivers spectacularly fast and accurate focusing. With an autofocus system featuring a total of 247 phase-detection AF points covering nearly 70% of the sensor⁶, AF acquisition is achieved in just 0.03 seconds. And with an innovative 3D iToF (indirect Time-of-Flight) sensor⁷ for low light shooting, you'll get precision focusing, whatever the condition. It all comes together on the large 1/1.7" Exmor RS^™ for Mobile imaging sensor⁶ with BIONZ X^™ for Mobile engine, to deliver speed and incredible photos.
