Auto HDR
Capture more details in the shadows and
highlights by activating Auto HDR. With one
press, this instant High Dynamic Range
mode takes three exposures at different
settings 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. You can
even shoot without using a tripod. The
resulting HDR image is simply breathtaking
in its detail, rich color and impact.
Multi Frame NR
By suppressing noise, the Multi Frame NR
mode lets you clearly capture scenes
that would normally be challenging even
for seasoned professionals. For example,
candlelit environments can be vividly
captured without using a tripod or flash.
Once you choose camera settings such as
ISO, Multi Frame NR suppresses noise by as
much as two ISO steps by taking six photos
and seamlessly combining them with
sophisticated motion-detection and digital
compositing technologies.
Hand-held Twilight
Create beautiful evening shots without
using a tripod or flash. This Scene
Selection mode shoots a burst of six
images, combines the images using
advanced Sony digital compositing
technology that compensates for camera
and subject movement, and applies noise
reduction to create a single beautiful
image with minimal blur and noise.
Two-axis White Balance
In addition to automatic white balance
and a full range of white balance presets,
the 57 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.
Sweep Panorama ™ / 3D Sweep Panorama Technology
Simply sweep the camera to capture breathtaking vistas. The 57 automatically records
and seamlessly stitches a sequence of photos to create a spectacular image. 3D Sweep
Panorama mode records separate right- and left-eye images to bring scenes alive when
viewed on an HDMI-compliant 3D television*.
* Requires optional
HDMI cable and 3D glasses.
1200-zone Evaluative Metering
Achieve balanced exposures in wide-ranging lighting whether shooting photographs or movies. The 57 analyzes subjects and shooting
situations based on light and color data taken directly from the Exmor
® APS HD CMOS sensor at an extremely high 1200-zone density to
enable highly precise metering and accurate subject recognition. You can choose between Multi segment, Center weighted, and Spot
metering modes, and activate AF/AE lock by pressing the shutter button half way.

Dynamic Range Optimizer (DRO)
DRO uses proprietary Sony technology to bring out details in the highlights and
shadows and deliver naturally bright images. It can be used during continuous
shooting and provides five user-selectable levels of compensation.
