Shot Result Preview

Before shooting, you can preview how 
your photo will look with major settings 
applied.  The all-new Shot Result Preview 
function shows not only the effects of 
your selected aperture, but also the 
effects of the selected shutter speed 
and Dynamic Range Optimizer (DRO) 
settings in the viewfinder and LCD display. 
So you can confirm the depth of field, 
motion blur and dynamic range with 
ease. It produces more dynamic results 
than the conventional optical preview 
function, which only shows the effects 
of the aperture setting. From the MENU, 
you can choose whether pressing the 
Preview button near the right bottom of 
the camera activates the conventional 
optical Depth of Field preview function or 
new Shot Result Preview.

Comfortable VG-C77AM vertical grip

Operation is extremely comfortable during 
vertical framing, thanks to the optional 
vertical grip and flexibly adjustable 
LCD display. Optimized contours fit your 
hand comfortably and contribute to a 
steady grip that minimizes accidental 
slips. The back of the grip is wide enough 
to firmly support your thumb, and 
essential controls are built in, including 
a convenient shutter button.   The grip 
can also house one or two NP-FM500H 
rechargeable battery packs (sold 
separately) to approximately double 
battery life. Dust and moisture resistance is 
the same high level as the camera body.

Customizable buttons

To enhance shooting convenience, you 
can customize three buttons to satisfy 
personal preference, provide quick access 
to the most frequently used functions, or 
better match particular usage conditions. 
The AEL, ISO, and AF/MF Buttons can 
be reassigned to activate any of 24 
assignable functions, including Exposure 
Compensation, Drive Mode, Flash Mode, 
Focus Area, Face Detection, Smile Shutter, 
ISO Sensitivity and Metering Mode.

Memory function

When you find an ideal combination of 
camera settings for a particular shooting 
situation, you can register them as a 
set in memory.  Then the next time that 
situation arises, you can easily recall 
and apply the settings to save time by 
turning the mode dial to the MR position. 
Up to three sets of comprehensive 
shooting settings can be saved.

Convenient Xtra Fine LCD™ display with 3-way tilting

Whether shooting horizontally or 
vertically, you can easily tilt and swivel 
the new LCD monitor to the most 
natural possible viewing angle. Even 
when using a tripod, the 3-way tilting 
design—the world’s first* of its kind—
enables extra-flexible adjustment 
that easily supports everything from 
extremely low to extremely high camera 
shooting angles. Moreover, this 3" Xtra 
Fine LCD display with crisp 921,600 dot 
resolution and TruBlack™ technology 
offers outstanding performance in almost 
any kind of lighting condition. Sony’s 
exclusive TruBlack™ technology fills 

the gap between the protective outer 
glass and underlying LCD with resin to 
significantly reduce surface reflections, 
improve visibility from wide viewing 
angles, maintain high contrast and more 
accurately reproduce deep blacks. 
Reflections are further lowered by a 
special anti-reflective coating and multi-
coating. Whenever challenging shooting 
environments require extra-clear viewing 
and unrivaled flexibility, this innovative 
new LCD will set you free.

New quick-access controls

You can easily operate the camera while 
keeping your eyes on the scene because 
the controls are specially designed 
for swift tactile recognition. Frequently 
used controls are placed within natural 
reach of your fingers and are clearly 

differentiated in size and height. Main 
buttons are placed within easy reach of 
your thumb, and dials in the front and 
rear of the camera enable comfortable 
adjustment of major and minor 
parameters, respectively.

LCD data display

Confirming main camera settings is 
always quick and easy, thanks to a new 
LCD data display favored by enthusiasts. 
Simply glance at the top-mounted 
display to confirm shutter speed, 
aperture, ISO value and more. Even in 
dark environments, the data is easy to 

read thanks to large LCD dimensions 
and cinnabar backlighting. Moreover, 
the top-mounted position means you 
can naturally shift your eyes from the 
scene to glance at the display without 
moving the camera and having to 
readjust framing.

Unrivaled comfort and shooting flexibility
