Enhanced Picture Effect

Express your creativity with Picture Effect. 
These innovative effects transform your still 
images and movies into stunning works of 
art by adjusting camera parameters and 
applying advanced image processing 
techniques like compositing within the 
camera. Depending on your scene and 
creative intentions, you can choose from 
11 customizable modes (with 15 effects) 
including incredible new HDR Painting, 
Rich Tone Monochrome, Soft Focus and a 
Miniature mode that makes your subject 
look like a miniature model.

Multi Frame NR

The Multi Frame NR mode is super effective 
at suppressing noise. It allows you to clearly 
capture scenes that would normally be 
challenging even for seasoned professionals. 
For example, candle-lit environments can 
be vividly captured without using a tripod 
or flash. Like Hand-held Twilight, it takes six 
photos and expertly composites them 
to suppress noise and blur while raising 
contrast and detail. This intelligent mode 
is compatible with any ISO setting and 
functions in all P/A/S/M modes, enabling 
noise suppression and improved image 
quality in any type of lighting.  Through ISO 
expansion, it can even achieve ultra-high 
sensitivity equivalent to ISO 25600.

Auto HDR

High dynamic range (HDR) photography 
previously required considerable expertise 
and effort. But this amazing Auto HDR function 
lets you capture the expanded detail of 
HDR photos automatically. With one press, 
the 

a

77 instantly records three frames at 

different exposures and composites the 
best details from each—in the highlights, 
mid-tones and shadows—to create a single 
image with wider dynamic range than any 
single exposure could possibly capture.  The 
resulting HDR image is simply breathtaking 
in its detail, rich color and impact. Moreover, 

it’s ideal for any post processing you may 
want to employ. Since advanced algorithms 
automatically detect and correct any 
misalignment between the three exposures, 
it's even possible to capture these remarkable 
images without using a tripod. For enhanced 
creative control over a wide range of lighting 
situations, you can set the Auto HDR exposure 
range to cover six steps, from 1 EV to 6 EV.

Sweep Panorama™ Mode / 3D Sweep Panorama Mode

Capture every detail of breathtaking 
scenes with a single sweep of the camera. 
The 

a

77 automatically records a sequence 

of photos and seamlessly stitches them 
together to create a single spectacular 

image. Choose 3D Sweep Panorama mode 
to produce more dynamic realism when 
viewed on a compatible 3D HDTV*.

GPS capability

The built-in GPS (Global Positioning 
System) feature can tag your photographs 
with data that indicates where and when 
they were taken. When you view tagged 
photographs on a Windows

®

 PC installed 

with bundled PMB software, or on a 
connected BRAVIA

®

 TV with the Photo Map 

function, the photos can be displayed on 
a map to indicate where they were taken.

Hand-held Twilight

When lighting is low, Hand-held Twilight 
mode enables clear flash-free photography 
without using a tripod.  This handy Scene 
Selection mode shoots a burst of six images 
at different settings, including an ISO setting 
as high as necessary for the scene and a 
shutter speed appropriate for handheld 
shooting. It then employs proprietary Sony 
digital compositing technology and noise 
reduction to align and combine the images 
and create a single frame with significantly 
suppressed blur and noise.  The feature 
even effectively compensates for camera 
and subject movement, making it easy 
to take beautiful evening shots with the 
camera in your hand.

Creative Style

Creative Style settings free you to swiftly 
adjust the look of your photos and 
movies. Depending on the scene and 
your creative intentions, simply select any 
of 13 settings (Standard, Vivid, Neutral, 
Clear, Portrait, Landscape, etc.) and the 
camera will adjust color and other image 
parameters accordingly. You can also fine-
tune contrast, saturation* and sharpness 
to suit your personal preference and 
achieve just the right finishing touch.

Dynamic Range Optimizer (DRO)

If the subject’s face is dark in a backlit 
situation, DRO uses proprietary Sony 
technology to recover details hidden in 
the shadows and deliver a naturally bright 
image. DRO can even be used during 
continuous shooting and provides five 
user-selectable levels of compensation.

*  Not available when B/W mode is selected. 

*   Requires HDMI

®

 cable (at least 10.2 Gbps) and  

3D glasses sold separately.
