Using Babel Fish to translate to English works but is a bit stilted. And my German is a bit rusty. If anyone here can translate it more fluently, that would be great.
The gist of it seems to be saying that the M-lens camera unit:
- supports both mechanical focal plane and electronic shutter operation, in different ranges of exposure times
- has two options for focus confirmation, at least one of which sounds like focus peaking
- has a sensor microlens array optimized for working with a wide range of RF lenses, and filtering options to choose from
- and should be available starting on September 9!
That puts it right on schedule. I can't wait to get my hands on it.
