Sony SLT-A77VM - Manual (Page 19)

Shot Result Preview
Before shooting, you can preview
how your photo will look with major
settings applied. The Shot Result Preview
function shows not only the effects of
your selected aperture, but also the
effects of the selected shutter speed
and Dynamic Range Optimizer (DRO)
settings in the viewfinder and LCD display.
So you can confirm the depth of field,
motion blur and dynamic range with
ease. It produces more dynamic results
than the conventional optical preview
function, which only shows the effects
of the aperture setting. From the MENU,
you can choose whether pressing the
Preview button near the right bottom of
the camera activates the conventional
optical Depth of Field preview function
or Shot Result Preview.
Comfortable VG-C77AM vertical grip
Operation is extremely comfortable during
vertical framing, thanks to the optional
vertical grip and flexibly adjustable
LCD display. Optimized contours fit your
hand comfortably and contribute to a
steady grip that minimizes accidental
slips. The back of the grip is wide enough
to firmly support your thumb, and
essential controls are built in, including
a convenient shutter button. The grip
can also house one or two NP-FM500H
rechargeable battery packs (sold
separately) to approximately double
battery life. Dust and moisture resistance is
the same high level as the camera body.
Customizable buttons
To enhance shooting convenience, you
can customize three buttons to satisfy
personal preference, provide quick access
to the most frequently used functions, or
better match particular usage conditions.
The AEL, ISO, and AF/MF Buttons can
be reassigned to activate any of 24
assignable functions, including Exposure
Compensation, Drive Mode, Flash Mode,
Focus Area, Face Detection, Smile Shutter,
ISO Sensitivity and Metering Mode.
Memory function
When you find an ideal combination of
camera settings for a particular shooting
situation, you can register them as a
set in memory. Then the next time that
situation arises, you can easily recall
and apply the settings to save time by
turning the mode dial to the MR position.
Up to three sets of comprehensive
shooting settings can be saved.
