Breathtaking image quality in any lighting 70-400mm F4-5.6 G SSM (SAL70400G), 1/15 sec., F5.6, ISO 200, Manual white balance (3700K) New 24.3 megapixel Exmor™ APS HD CMOS sensor Stunning images brimming with detail are yours at an astounding 24.3 megapixel resolution, thanks to Sony's new proprietary Exmor APS HD CMOS sensor. This ultrahigh resolution is complemented by an extra-large sensor size that raises sensitivity in low-light conditions and strengthens background defocusing effects. So you can add depth and drama to virtually any scene. Dual noise reduction also significantly reduces noise during analog and digital signal conversion to ensure smooth, crystal-clear reproduction even in low-light conditions. Dramatically improved BIONZ® image processing engine Sony's lightning-fast BIONZ processor employs powerful algorithms to generate beautiful images from RAW data captured by the Exmor CMOS image sensor. Fully optimized to match the characteristics of the sensor, it delivers extremely accurate color and rich tonal gradations throughout the entire dynamic range. Even during ultra-highspeed continuous shooting and Full HD movie shooting, it effortlessly handles the vast information generated by the 24.3 megapixel CMOS sensor as well as other intensive tasks such as advanced digital compositing. Moreover, RAW image noise reduction complements dual noise reduction in the sensor to deliver images of superb quality with extremely low noise. 12 ISO 1600 High sensitivity with ISO 100-16000 (expandable to ISO 50) Master virtually any lighting conditions with extremely high ISO sensitivity and wideranging settings from 50 (expanded) to 16000-a range of eight 1/3 steps. Capture the mood of a candlelit wedding ceremony with a high sensitivity setting; the flow of a river with a low sensitivity setting and slow shutter speed; or athletes competing indoors with a high sensitivity setting and high shutter speed-all with extremely high ISO 6400 ISO 12800 quality and low noise courtesy of Sony's ultra-sensitive Exmor APS HD CMOS sensor and advanced BIONZ image processor. In regular shooting conditions, you can take full advantage of an Auto ISO mode that automatically chooses the optimal ISO setting between ISO 100 and 1600 or between any available range you choose to customize (from 100 to 12800) for creative results. SteadyShot INSIDE™ image stabilization Advanced image stabilization lets you enjoy handheld shooting with minimal camera-shake blur. Since SteadyShot INSIDE utilizes a sensor-shift image stabilizer within the camera itself. It provides effective image stabilization for any A-mount system lens from wide-angle to telephoto. It also lets you capture sharp images at shutter speeds up to 2.5 to 4.5 steps slower than otherwise possible without a tripod or flash, as well as take advantage of vastly increased photo opportunities. New lens shading and aberration compensation To ensure optimal shooting results, the a77 automatically compensates for the shading and aberration characteristics of the particular lens you mount.This includes vignetting (peripheral shading), lateral chromatic aberration and optical distortion, which can each be manually activated or deactivated as desired. Embedded data within the camera on supported A-mount lenses* ensures optimal compensation every time. * SAL1650, SAL1855, SAL55200-2 and SAL18250. Firmware updates are planned to expand the number of supported lenses. 13
