SLT-A99V
Discover truly remarkable clarity with Sony's innovative new full frame
DSLR that doubles as a world-class lmmaking camera. With the world's
rst Dual AF system10 and Translucent Mirror technology, you are no
longer bound by limitations of the traditional DSLR. This massive leap
forward delivers astounding 24MP resolution plus uncompressed, Full HD
video recording—all wrapped in an ultra-light, magnesium alloy body.
24.3 MP 35 mm Full Frame Sensor
A whole new world of high-quality images are realized through the 24.3 MP
eective 35 mm full-frame sensor, a normal sensor range of ISO 100 – 32000, and
a sophisticated balance of high resolving power, gradation and low noise.
Uncompressed HDMI Output
Easily record Full 1080 HD uncompressed clean-screen video les to external
recording devices via an HDMI connection in 24p, 60p and 60i frame-rates.
Multi-frame NR
Experience incredible low-light shooting without a ash. The camera captures
six images in a fraction of a second. Combining the data from all six, it creates a
single image with a reduction in noise equivalent to two additional steps of ISO
sensitivity. Sensitivity selectable up to ISO 25600. (Recommended for still subjects.)
World’s rst Dual AF system
The 19-point AF system with 11 cross sensors is complemented by a multipoint focal plane phase-detection AF sensor with 102 AF points that overlays
the image sensor. Taking advantage of Translucent Mirror Technology that
simultaneously directs light to the image sensor and AF sensor at all times.
New AF-D Mode
This highly advanced Continuous AF mode uses 19 AF points with reliable depthdirection focusing performance to steadfastly capture subjects and is strongly
assisted by the 102-point multi-point focal-plane phase-detection AF sensor. It
continues to accurately focus on the subject whether the subject is moving in
depth or plane direction

AF Range Control
Users can set the range of distance from the camera in which subjects can be
focused on the AF system. By limiting the AF range, users can prevent unwanted
focusing on foreground and background objects. This intelligent function
enables reliable performance when photographing sports through wire mesh
fences, for example.
Fast continuous shooting speeds
Highly responsive continuous shooting at approximately 6 frames per second
(fps) is made possible by Translucent Mirror Technology and an enhanced
Tracking Focus function oering more advanced acquisition and tracking
performance. The Tele Zoom High Speed shooting mode shoots up to 8 fps at 10
MP while maintaining continuous auto focus and auto exposure.
Newly designed three-way tiltable LCD
The SLT-A99V is the rst in the Alpha series to feature WhiteMagic™ technology,
which nearly doubles the visibility of the 921k-dot Xtra Fine LCD™ monitor in
sunny outdoor conditions. The three-way tilt-able mechanism, highly acclaimed
on the A77, is further enhanced for even greater operational ease.

Sony® SLT-A99V Digital SLR
There’s never been anything quite like the Tru-Finder™ OLED electronic
viewnder. For size, speed and brightness even aer sunset, this is a gem. It
begins with 2359K dots for amazing resolution and high contrast ratio for
incredible depth. OLED reduces motion blur to a bare minimum. You can also
see the results of camera adjustments in real time with superb color and detail.
World’s lightest Full-frame Sensor Camera
The SLT-A99V is the world’s lightest10 35 mm full-frame interchangeable-lens
digital camera. It weighs only 733 grams (body only), thanks to features like
Translucent Mirror Technology and high-rigidity magnesium alloy panels. Users
will enjoy agile and exible shooting despite the full-frame specications.

Newly developed Quick Navi Pro
For heightened comfort and more intuitive operation, the SLT-A99V features
an enhanced version of Quick Navi, which was highly acclaimed in the A900
and A700. Called Quick Navi Pro, this new feature allows users to immediately
access all camera parameter settings. Photographers can therefore quickly
change settings with just the right hand while shooting photos.
Dual Slot and Media Control Function
The SLT-A99V employs dual media slots. One of the slots supports SD Cards
and the other supports both SD Cards and Memory Stick® media. This dual slot
system allows for simultaneous recording for backup purposes (with recordings
sorted RAW/JPEG le type or still/movie data) as well as copying between
media. Moreover it allows movie recording to two media cards simultaneously –
a world’s rst (as of September 12, 2012)
Translucent Mirror Technology
Sony’s proprietary Translucent Mirror Technology simultaneously directs light
to the image sensor and AF sensor at all times to realize Full-time Continuous
AF that keeps the subject in sharp focus and even during continuous shooting
and movie shooting. It also allows the high-precision electronic viewnder to
accurately display the results of camera setting adjustments in real time so the
photographer can make sure the results match his or her creative intentions.
Highly rigid body with magnesium alloy outer panels
The highly robust and durable body meets the heavy-duty needs of advanced
amateurs. Both the main outer body panels and interior chassis are constructed
of lightweight yet rigid magnesium alloy. Moreover, the grip and front cover are
structurally unied to achieve extremely high body rigidity.
Dust and moisture protection
Outer body and moisture countermeasures include the sealing and treatment
of major operational buttons/dials and a convex/concave mating structure that
tightly interlocks components. Controls also feature a durable structure that
withstands the touch usage of advanced amateurs.
Approximate 200,000 shutter release durability
The newly developed, highly durable and reliable shutter unit has been proven
to endure approximately 200,000 shutter releases. This durability ensures longlasting shooting performance that takes into consideration the large number of
photos shot by advanced amateurs.
Meticulously designed body compliments advanced users
While inheriting the popular design concept of the A77, the SLT-A99V enables
comfortable photo shooting through meticulously designed features including
improved grip thickness that enhances grasping ease, switch and button shapes
that are dierentiated for easier operation while keeping your eye on the
viewnder, an exposure mode dial lock that prevents unintended turning of the
mode dial, etc.
Vertical Grip Capable
The optional VG-C99AM vertical grip designed exclusively for the SLT-A99V can
house two batteries, bringing the total number of batteries (including the one
in the camera) to three for signicantly more hours of shooting (batteries sold
separately).
