1200-zone Evaluative Metering

High-precision metering ensures balanced
exposures in wide-ranging lighting
conditions.  This precision is made possible
by the extremely high resolution of an
advanced evaluative metering sensor with
1200 zones.  The sensor accurately meters the
light and color of image data transmitted
directly from the image sensor and can
also recognize wide-ranging subjects and
shooting situations. The amazing density
of this 1200-zone meter contributes to both
highly precise metering and accurate
subject recognition.  The Fn (Function) button
lets you choose between Multi segment,
Center weighted and Spot metering modes.

Exposure mode

Selecting an exposure mode is as
simple as rotating a dial. Conveniently
located on top of the

77, the clearly

labeled mode dial provides quick and
direct access to Program Auto, Aperture
priority, Shutter-speed priority and
Manual exposure modes, as well as a
fully-automatic Auto mode and 8 Scene
Selection modes (Portrait, Sports Action,
Macro, Landscape, Sunset, Night Scene,
Hand-held Twilight and Night Portrait) that
apply optimized AF, drive mode, exposure,
brightness, contrast and other settings
appropriate to each type of scene.

Face Detection and Face

Registration

Capture people beautifully with the

77,

thanks to advanced Face Detection
technology that instantly detects up
to eight faces and optimizes shooting
parameters to ensure accurate focus
and skin tones even when recording
movies. Smile Shutter™ technology can
automatically release the shutter when
subjects smile and offers three sensitivity
levels as well as a smile level indicator
that is displayed when the mode is
active. A Face Registration function also
lets you register up to eight specific
individuals so the camera prioritizes them
when detecting faces. This feature not
only works together with Smile Shutter
and Face Detection, but also supports
Tracking Focus.

BRAVIA Sync and PhotoTV HD

Photos look spectacular on a BRAVIA

HDTV. Thanks to optimized Photo TV HD
technology, every detail and color gradation
is displayed with big-screen impact and
amazing fidelity. Simply connect the
camera and BRAVIA HDTV via HDMI cable
to automatically activate photo playback
mode. You can then use the BRAVIA remote
control, courtesy of BRAVIA Sync technology,

to control camera
playback and display
photos stored in your

at full HD resolution

(1920 x 1080).

HDMI

terminal

An HDMI terminal is built within the

77,

making it easy to connect the camera
directly with an HDTV. Enjoy stunning
big-screen viewing of your photos and

HD movies with high-
definition image quality
and high-resolution
audio, as well as
convenient camera
playback using the
television's remote
control if the connected
unit is a BRAVIA

supporting BRAVIA Sync
and PhotoTV HD.

Exposure compensation and

bracketing

Getting the exposure just right is
easy with the

77. You can use

Exposure Compensation to increase or
decrease the exposure in 1/3 or 1/2
stop increments between -5 and +5
EV. Or use Auto Exposure Bracketing

(AEB) to automatically record three
or five images at different exposure
values (standard, higher and lower
exposure values), compare the results
and choose the best one. AEB lets you
choose whether to vary the exposure
values by 0.3 or 0.7 EV. Both Exposure
Compensation and AEB clearly display
results on the screen for easy checking
and help ensure that at least one of
your shots is expertly exposed.

AUTO+ (Auto Advanced) mode

This highly convenient mode adjusts
camera settings automatically. So you
can simply point, shoot and let the
camera handle everything else. The
AUTO+ mode automatically analyzes
shooting conditions and intelligently
adjusts everything from aperture and
shutter speed to ISO sensitivity and white
balance on the fly. When you shoot fast
moving subjects, Continuous Advance
Priority AE automatically activates to keep
pace. When scenes are high in contrast
but lack detail in shadows or highlights,
Auto HDR automatically kicks in to bring
out more of the details. Activated settings
and features are also displayed on
screen so you can see what features are

best suited to each
kind of scene. With
the

77, it's easy to

take advantage of
leading-edge Sony
digital technology.

Two-axis White Balance

In addition to automatic white balance
and a full range of white balance
presets, the

77 provides a two-axis

White Balance mode for even finer white
balance adjustment. This mode lets you
adjust white balance in the amber-blue
and green-magenta directions to achieve
more true-to-life color under almost any
kind of light source.

Built-in flash with wide 16 mm coverage

When the lighting is so dim that supplemental
lighting becomes necessary, this powerful
built-in flash unit automatically pops up
to amply illuminate your scene. This flash
unit offers a versatile range of modes,
a guide number of 12 (ISO 100·m), an
illumination angle that covers the angle
of view of a wide 16mm (24mm eq) lens,
and a maximum synchronization speed
of 1/250 sec. A manual control mode
allows you to regulate flash brightness
regardless of metered exposure values,
and a synchro terminal enables the use
of high-power external flash units and
multi-flash studio systems.

Drive mode

User-friendly icons make it easy to switch
between single-shot, continuous, bracketed
and self-timer shooting. Just select the drive
mode, along with selectable parameters

(single-shot advance, continuous advance
at up to 8 or 3 fps, self-timer shooting with
2 or 10-second delay, and bracketed
shooting for exposure, white balance or
DRO). Then start shooting. Even the 8 fps
continuous shooting speed of the standard
continuous advance drive mode (up to 12
fps in Continuous Priority AE mode) is the
top of its class.

Memory Stick Duo™ media /

SD card slot

The media compartment provides a
multi-type slot for standard memory cards,
including Memory Stick PRO Duo and SD
memory cards. Sony memory cards undergo
rigorous testing and are recommended for
their outstanding performance during HD
movie recording, continuous shooting and
high-speed file transfer.
