Dust and moisture resistant
Comprehensive dust and moisture
resistance measures are applied to the
a
77 and select accessories to achieve
extremely high, reliability when used
together. The camera itself is sealed
around the main buttons and dials to
help prevent moisture and dust from
entering the body during tough usage.
Openings such as the card slot, battery
compartment and terminals are also
protected by a double-layered structure.
When using the DT 16-50mm F2.8 SSM
standard zoom lens, optional HVL-F43AM
flash unit, optional VG-C77AM vertical
grip or other accessories, this same
high-level resistance to dust and moisture
is maintained. This lens incorporates
effective dust and moisture resistance
measures including sealing of all
susceptible components. Main joints
of the powerful optional flash unit, with
Quick Shift Bounce design, are refined
and sealed to ensure effective resistance
to dust and moisture. Various areas of the
vertical grip are also sealed to raise dust
and moisture resistance.
Robust magnesium alloy body
When the going gets tough, you
can depend on the rugged a77. Its
lightweight body offers the protective
external shielding of high-intensity
magnesium front and rear panels. A
grip and front cover manufactured
through advanced casting technology
further enhance body rigidity. Through
an optimal combination of engineered
plastic, aluminum alloy and stainless steel
in the chassis, a high degree of structural
integrity, light weight and long-lasting
dependability has been achieved.
Note:
• Dust and moisture resistance does not imply dust/
moisture proof performance.
