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-high-
speed 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.

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 ultra-
high 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.

Breathtaking image quality in any lighting

*   SAL1650, SAL1855, SAL55200-2 and SAL18250.  

Firmware updates are planned to expand the

High sensitivity with ISO 100–16000 

(expandable to ISO 50)

Master virtually any lighting conditions with 
extremely high ISO sensitivity and wide-
ranging 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 

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 

a

77 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.
