- 2nd Generation Translucent Mirror Design
Other DSLRs can shoot. Or they can focus with the speed and precision of
Phase Detection AF. They cannot do both at once. Sony changes all that with
the award-winning Translucent Mirror Technology system. It directs light to
both the image sensor and the Phase Detection AF sensor simultaneously.
- 24.3 MP; best-in-class resolution2
You get incredible detail and gorgeous enlargements thanks to a 24.3
megapixel sensor. Its the highest resolution among APS-C DSLRs, as of
August 2011.
- Worlds fastest up to 12 fps continuous2
The translucent mirror makes it far easier to capture the decisive soccer
kick or your baby at her absolute cutest. Shoots up to 12 frames per second
at full-resolution 24.3 megapixels with continuous auto focus (AE locked
after first frame). This is the worlds fastest shooting speed for
interchangeable lens APS-C cameras, as of August, 2011.
- Worlds first OLED viewfinder2
Theres never been anything quite like the Tru-Finder OLED electronic
viewfinder. For size, speed and brightness even after sunset, this is a gem.
It begins with 2359K dots for amazing resolution and high contrast ratio for
incredible depth. OLED reduces motion blur to a bare minimum. You can also
see the results of camera adjustments in real time with superb color and
detail.
- HD Movies4
at 60p, 60i, or 24p
Capture spectacular HD Movies4.
This is the worlds first DSLR to offer a choice of super-smooth 60p,
standard 60i or cinematic 24p, all at Full HD 1920x1080 resolution. AVCHD
codec delivers stunning picture quality. MP4 codec offers smaller files for
easier upload to the web.
- HD movies with full manual control4
Now you dont need to surrender control when you shoot HD movies.4
Enjoy the full expressive potential of Program, Shutter Priority, Aperture
Priority or Manual (P/A/S/M) control in HD movie mode.
- Full-time Phase Detection AF
You get fast, accurate auto focus in every modeeven HD Movie and Live
Viewthanks to Sonys exclusive Translucent Mirror Technology. While
Contrast Detection Auto Focus often hunts for correct focus, Phase Detection
AF knows exactly where correct focus is, and goes straight for it.
- Full-Time Live View in LCD or EVF
You can use both the LCD monitor and OLED Electronic Viewfinder for
composing shots in Live View. Both provide a what-you-see-is-what-you-get
preview of white balance, focus, depth of field, exposure and 100% framing
accuracy, plus informative on-screen displays.
- Worlds shortest release time lag3
Helps ensure that the image you want is the image you get. Once auto focus
occurs, release time lag is the delay between fully pressing the shutter
release and when the camera actually starts taking the picture. Long lag
makes it harder to capture fast-moving objects. The Sony A77 boasts the
worlds shortest release time lag at only 0.05 seconds.3
- Rugged, magnesium alloy body
The SLT-A77 is built for the real world with a magnesium alloy body that
combines high strength with light weight. Ports, doors and controls are also
weather-resistant for smooth operation under adverse conditions.
- Object Tracking AF
Locks onto a specified object and maintains focus even as the subject moves.
Unpredictable subjects stay in focus even while zooming. You can concentrate
on composition without worrying about focus.
- 19-point Auto Focus
To maximize the value of Translucent Mirror Technology, Sony incorporates
Phase Detection AF of great sophistication. 19 sensors with 11 cross sensors
maximize precision for both vertical and horizontal subjects.
- Three-way tilt/swivel LCD screen
Tilt it up or down to frame high- and low-angle shots that would otherwise
be hit-or-miss. Tilt and swivel over the camera for self-portraits. You can
even tilt it up and down when you hold the camera in vertical mode! Finally,
the monitor folds flush to the camera with the LCD exposed for shooting or
protected for travel.
- Dual control dials
Perfect for experienced shooters, dual control dials provide direct,
hands-on access to two settings at a time.
- Top mounted LCD
In addition to status displays on the LCD monitor and Electronic Viewfinder,
Sony offers a top-mounted LCD with exposure information.
- 6-image layering
Leverages the fast BIONZ processor to capture six images in a fraction of a
second, and then combine the data. The result is one incredible single image
that gets a cleaner result in Multi-Frame NR mode or sharper nighttime
pictures in Hand-held Twilight mode.
- Multi-frame NR
Experience incredible low-light shooting without a flash. The camera
captures six images in a fraction of a second. Combining the data from all
six, it creates a single image with a reduction in noise equivalent to two
additional steps of ISO sensitivity. Sensitivity selectable up to ISO 16000.
(Recommended for still subjects.)
- Handheld Twilight mode
Get gorgeous shots at night without a tripod. Combines six frames into a
single image for smooth, low-noise evening shots. (Recommended for still
subjects.)

best mid-tones from a second and the best shadow detail from a third for one
incredible shot. (Recommended for still subjects.)
- 3D Sweep Panorama Mode
Capture vast scenic vistas and 16:9 shots in spectacular 3D. As you sweep
across the panorama, the camera records separate right-eye and left-eye
images that make landscapes come alive on your 3D television1.

Capture expansive landscapes automatically. Press the shutter, sweep
vertically or horizontally. The camera does the rest, continuously shooting

Internet applications, so you can remember where you took your favorite
shots.6

out of camera settings by showing the effects of the aperture, shutter and
DRO settings on the depth of field, motion and dynamic range.
- 921K dot TruBlack LCD screen
Sony's 3.0-inch Xtra Fine LCD monitor has 921K dots for superb resolution.
The TruBlack screen includes a special resin layer to suppress internal
reflections, increasing contrast compared to conventional LCDs. Sunny
Weather mode boosts visibility even further.

standard zoom lenses.

the difference between amateur and professional-looking video, delivering an
exceptional combination of high resolution, high sensitivity and gorgeous,
blurred backgrounds.
- Sony Exmor technology
Conventional image sensors use only a handful of analog-to-digital (A/D)
converters, which can slow you down. The Exmor sensor provides more than
5,600 column-parallel A/D converters. This helps enable continuous shooting
at up to 12 frames per second.
