Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX60V review – Autofocus
When Sony released the HX50, its maximum focusing speed of 0.1sec was one of the camera’s key selling points. Thanks to the improved Bionz X processor, the HX60V is even faster, achieving focus in good speed and only slowing slightly at the longer end of its zoom range.
In very dim conditions, the AF-assist beam supports the camera’s contrast-detection system to lock on. This is useful for stable subjects, but will struggle if subjects are mobile. The focusing speed of the HX60V is what I would expect from a camera of this type and will be adequate for most of the shooting scenarios I would expect it to face.
