Sony SLT-A57K Marketing Specifications (SLT-A57K)

Translucent Mirror Technology

Other DSLRs can shoot.

Or they can focus with the speed and precision of Phase Detection AF.

They cannot do

both at once.

The SLT-A57, with Translucent Mirror Technology™, directs light to both the image sensor and the

Phase Detection AF sensor simultaneously.

Up to 12 fps Tele-Zoom High Speed Shooting

By capturing the center 2/3 of the image sensor (8.4MP), Tele-zoom high speed shooting brings the action closer

with a 1.4x effective increase of focal length. Shoot up to an incredible 12 frames per second with continuous

auto focus and auto exposure to capture the decisive moment.

Up to 10 fps @ 16.1MP capture

Shoot up to 10 frames per second in incredible detail with the 16.1 megapixel Sony® Exmor® APS HD CMOS

sensor, the camera achieves high resolution with no penalty in low-light sensitivity or sensor noise.

Clear Image Zoom

Utilizing Sony’s exclusive

By Pixel Super Resolution Technology, Clear Image Zoom increases the effective

focal length of your lens up to 2x by digitally magnifying the center of your image with nearly imperceptible

degradation. It virtually doubles the effective focal length of whatever lens you’re using providing greater

shooting flexibility.

Auto Portrait Framing

Simply photograph a person and Auto Portrait Framing will save an additional, optimally framed image in portrait

or landscape orientation. Combining Face Detection and By Pixel Super Resolution technologies with rule of

thirds, Auto Portrait Framing provides beautifully composed and appealingly balanced full resolution portraits.

Eye-Level Electronic Viewfinder

The Tru-finder™ Electronic Viewfinder (EVF) is super bright, easy to see with 1.04x magnification, ultra-sharp with

1.44 million dots (effective) and provides 100% frame coverage.

Exposure preview and informative overlays make

operation easy.

Tilt/swivel 3” LCD screen

Tilt it up or down to frame high- and low-angle shots that would otherwise be hit-or-miss.

Tilt and swivel under the

camera for self-portraits.

Fold it flush to the camera with the LCD exposed for shooting or protected for travel.

Auto HDR built into camera

Captures more scene dynamic range than a single exposure can handle—and more range than photo film.

Combines the best highlight detail from one shot, the best mid-tones from a second and the best shadow detail

from a third for one incredible shot.

Captures in a split second.

(Recommended for still subjects.)

SteadyShot INSIDE™ stabilization

Image stabilization reduces blur by compensating for camera shake. SteadyShot INSIDE™ image stabilization is

built into the camera body itself. You'll reduce blur with every A-mount lens because it provides compensation

equivalent to approximately 2.5 – 4.5 steps in shutter speed, allowing for more hand held opportunities in low light

or longer focal lengths.

15-point Auto Focus

To maximize the value of Translucent Mirror Technology, Sony incorporates Phase Detection AF of great

sophistication.

Three cross sensors maximize precision.

Object Tracking AF

Using the 15-point autofocus sensor and Sony’s subject recognition technologies, Object Tracking AF can

maintain accurate focus on your subject even when it changes position in the frame.

Capture your perfect moments with Sony’s next generation Translucent

Mirror Technology DSLR enabling simultaneous focus and capture.

Shoot up to an amazing 12 fps in Tele-zoom High speed mode,

complete with continuous auto focus.

Auto focus is also visibly faster in

Live View and HD Movie modes.
