Powerfully expressive movie production

Large image sensor

Cinema-like creative expression is yours

to enjoy thanks to large APS HD CMOS

sensor. This expanded sensor area enables

beautiful background defocusing effects for

teamed with manual focus, the sensor lets

you take full advantage of P/A/S/M modes

to manually adjust exposure and achieve

desired brightness and dynamism.

Quick AF Full HD Movie

Most interchangeable lens cameras

employ standard contrast-detection

autofocusing when shooting movies. But

the a77 delivers the superior speed and

precision of full-time continuous phase-

detection autofocusing, even during

HD movie shooting at 60p—thanks to

the breakthrough advantages of Sony

Translucent Mirror Technology. This newly

enhanced Quick AF Full HD Movie feature

also makes a big difference when focusing

on fast-moving subjects. You can shoot

movies and enjoy wider-ranging creative

possibilities than ever before.

movie footage at an accelerated rate:

The same resolution and rate as HDTV

24p cinematic expression

Hollywood films are traditionally

captured at 24 fps, creating a subtle

format, you can recreate this look and

endow your movies with an added sense

of quality and drama.

creates a rough, amateurish look while

Posterization makes a bold statement with

high contrast and vivid colors*.
