canceling
before and after A/D conversion
provides over 12 million pixels,
drawing out the full image description
power of the Sony® α
; (
alpha) DSLR-
A700K’s high-
performance lenses and

reproduction with high signal-to-noise
ratio.

SteadyShot INSIDE™ Image
Stabilization
Built-in technology moves the image
sensor in response to camera shake,
enabling every lens to benefit from
automatic blur reduction -- and
provides an advantage of up to 4.0
shutter speed steps to sharpen images
in lower light, for hand-
held shots that
would normally require a tripod.
BIONZ
™ Image Processor
At the heart of the Sony
® α
; (
alpha)
DSLR-A700K DSLR camera is the
advanced Sony BIONZ™ Image
Processor, using hardware-based Large
Scale Integrated (LSI) circuitry that
improves camera response time,
screens out noise before RAW data
conversion, handles Dynamic Range
Optimization processing and prolongs
battery life.
Dynamic Range Optimizer
To recover details in dark or bright
areas of the picture, the Sony
® α;
(
alpha) DSLR-A700 provides multiple
levels of Dynamic Range Optimization:
Standard mode, to improve shadow
detail using standard gamma curves;
Advanced Auto mode, allowing you to
select any of 5 DRO correction levels, or
DRO Advanced Bracketing, that
automatically creates three versions of
the image captured at different DRO
levels with a single shutter press.
Continuous 5 Frames-Per-Second
Advance at 12.24 MP
The high
-speed processing power of its
BIONZ™ engine, a quick-
response
coreless motor to drive the shutter, and
dual mirror stoppers to prevent mirror
bounce
-- they all enable the Sony® α;
(
alpha) DSLR-A700K to capture action
more effectively at either 5 or 3 frames
per second, even shooting at full 12.24
MP resolution. You can also shoot
continuously to the limit of available
memory in JPEG Fine and Standard
modes.
Advanced Pentaprism Viewfinder
With a bright focusing matte, an optical
glass prism and glass lenses that
prevent ghosts inside the finder, the
Sony® α
; (
alpha) DSLR-A700K’
s
viewfinder image makes it easier to see
your subject, compose your shot and
adjust focus manually.
Eye-
Start® Autofocus System
The Sony® α
; (
alpha) DSLR-A700K
begins its precision autofocus
adjustments the moment you bring your
eye to the viewfinder -- so you’ll be
ready to catch the perfect moment.

system with a large f2.8 sensor
improves your ability to frame the
subject and capture moving subjects
with greater focusing precision -- and a
focus drive clutch lets you switch
seamlessly between auto and manual
focusing by pressing a simple button.
Super-Accurate Exposure Control

system provides multi-
pattern
measuring for superior exposure control
accuracy in a wide range of lighting
conditions.
