In Sony promo images for cameras like the A7C, there is sometimes an orange “T*” marking near the viewfinder area. What does this symbol indicate?

T* refers to Zeiss T* anti-reflective coatings applied to the Electronic View Finders on Sony Cameras. I believe it first appeared on the Sony A7R II in 2015.

The EVF gets an update too with a new best-in-class 0.78x Tru-Finder that delivers a larger view than any cameras in the category. 1.0x magnification would be actual size of a 35mm frame. Previous a7-series cameras along with most fullframe optical viewfinders are around 0.70. That’s a much more visible improvement than the number of pixels. Zeiss T coating have been added to an additional element for a sharper view especially at the edges – at least for eyeglass wearers like me.*

In short, it’s Bigger and Clearer.

The orange “T*” refers to Zeiss T* anti-reflective coating. On Sony cameras, it is used on the electronic viewfinder optics to reduce reflections and improve clarity, especially toward the edges. In practice, it helps the EVF appear clearer and sharper, and can be particularly beneficial for eyeglass wearers. It’s a coating designation, not a separate camera feature or mode.
