Enhanced Picture Effect
Express your creativity with Picture Effect.
These innovative effects transform your still
images and movies into stunning works of
art by adjusting camera parameters and
applying advanced image processing
techniques like compositing within the
camera. Depending on your scene and
creative intentions, you can choose
from 11 customizable modes (with 15
effects) including HDR Painting, Rich Tone
Monochrome, Soft Focus and a Miniature
mode that makes your subject look like a
miniature model.
Auto HDR
High dynamic range (HDR) photography
previously required considerable expertise
and effort. But this amazing Auto HDR function
lets you capture the expanded detail of
HDR photos automatically. With one press,
the a77 instantly records three frames at
different exposures 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. The
resulting HDR image is simply breathtaking
in its detail, rich color and impact. Moreover, it’s ideal for any post processing you may
want to employ. Since advanced algorithms
automatically detect and correct any
misalignment between the three exposures,
it’s even possible to capture these remarkable
images without using a tripod. For enhanced
creative control over a wide range of lighting
situations, you can set the Auto HDR exposure
range to cover six steps, from 1 EV to 6 EV.
Sweep Panorama ™ Mode / 3D Sweep Panorama Mode
Capture every detail of breathtaking
scenes with a single sweep of the camera.
The a77 automatically records a sequence
of photos and seamlessly stitches them
together to create a single spectacular image. Choose 3D Sweep Panorama mode
to produce more dynamic realism when
viewed on a compatible 3D HDTV*.
* Requires HDMI ® cable (at least 10.2 Gbps) and
3D glasses sold separately.
