The Sony A77 II (ILCA-77M2) is ideal for photographers who fear missing those decisive moments. Its cutting-edge auto focusing system combined with ultra-fast frame rate will ensure you are equipped to confidently catch fleeting moments and high-speed action with razor-sharp detail.

 

The advanced Phase Detection Autofocus system features an impressive 79 focal points and includes 15 cross-type points within the central portion of the sensor. This comprehensive setup delivers compositional versatility and ensures excellent autofocus speed and accuracy across a broad range of lighting conditions.

 

Motion Tracking is delivered via an AF algorithm which processes metering data from all 79 focal points to predict movement and adjust focus to ensure fast action sports, wildlife and active kids are captured in sharp, detail-rich quality. The focusing system can assist portrait and wedding photographers via an Eye AF function that automatically detects faces and ensures critical focus is maintained for the eyes irrespective of any subject movement.

 

A 24.3 megapixel Exmor CMOS sensor utilises a gapless on-chip lens design as featured in its Full Frame Sony A7 and A7r siblings. This increases overall light sensitivity, maximises edge-to-edge sharpness and boosts overall image detail and quality.

 

The powerful BIONZ X image processor delivers an astonishing 12fps burst-rate with continuous autofocus for up to 60 full resolution JPEG images or 26 RAW frames, allowing you to shoot virtually any scenario with confidence. The image processor also delivers a maximum ISO51200 for excellent sensitivity and minimal noise when shooting in difficult low-light conditions.

 

Full High Definition video is available at up to 60fps and can be used in conjunction with subject tracking autofocus to minimise focus hunting and ensure your subject is tack-sharp wherever they move within the frame. Focus peaking is also built-in to allow precise manual and pull-focus shooting. A clean HDMI Out can be utilised to record uncompressed footage to an optional external recorder for maximum post-processing versatility while a microphone input allows you to add an external microphone to tailor your audio requirements to your specific needs.

 

Image composition and playback is trouble-free via the 3-inch 1220k-dot Xtra Fine LCD screen. Its dual hinge design allows you to angle the screen for easier shooting in high or low angles, or flip it up completely to face forwards for better self-portraits and video blogging.

 

For more precise composition or focusing requirements, a bright XGA OLED Tru-Finder Electronic Viewfinder can be utilised. The 0.5 inch EVF features a 2359k-dot resolution and delivers 100% frame coverage for pixel perfect framing.

 

On-board WiFi and one-touch NFC connectivity in conjunction with Sony’s free PlayMemories Camera App allows your compatible smartphone or tablet to quickly connect to the camera for wireless camera control and instant photo sharing with your friends, family and favourite social networks.

 

Its tough yet lightweight magnesium chassis is combined with a resilient dust and moisture sealed exterior to ensure the Sony A77II is a reliable all-round workhorse that will satisfy the elevated requirements of even the most demanding photographers.
