Mirrorless Cameras

How Do Mirrorless Cameras Work?

Mirrorless cameras get their name because they don't have the reflex mirror found in DSLRs. This mirror mechanism reflects light into the viewfinder for composing shots. Without a mirror, light passes directly onto the image sensor. This enables a smaller, lighter camera body design.

Instead of an optical viewfinder, mirrorless cameras use electronic viewfinders (EVF) or the rear LCD screen for composing shots. This gives you a digital live preview of what the sensor is capturing before you press the shutter. You get instant confirmation that your settings and composition are right.

Key Benefits of Mirrorless Cameras:

• Small and lightweight camera bodies perfect for travel and daily shooting
• Real-time exposure and focus preview helps nail the shot
• Faster shooting speeds and nearly silent electronic shutters
• No mirror slap vibration enables sharper handheld shots
• Live view on flip screens provides flexibility in angles
• Fast, accurate autofocus and subject tracking performance
• High resolution EVFs accurately represent the final image
• Advanced video features like 4K recording, mic inputs, and codecs

Mirrorless Camera Sensor Sizes:

• Full frame sensors are equivalent in size to 35mm film. This provides the highest resolution and best low light performance. Full frame models range from affordable entry-level options to professional flagships.
• APS-C sensors have a 1.5x crop factor compared to full frame. They offer greater reach with telephotos in a compact form. Ideal for enthusiasts.
• Micro Four Thirds sensors have a 2x crop and are optimized for portability. Common in video-focused mirrorless cameras.
