Sony SLT-A77VM - Manual (Page 13)

ISO 6400 ISO 1600 ISO 12800
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.
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.
