10.1 Megapixel Super HAD CCD
The advanced Super HAD (Hole Accumulated Diode) CCD is specially designed to allow more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity while reducing noise, so your images will look gorgeous - even when taken under low light conditions. Furthermore, the high resolution ensures that your photo prints will look sharp, even at printouts of 20x30" in size
Carl Zeiss 4x Optical Zoom Lens
The world renowned quality of the Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens ensures that your images will be sharply focused while the 3x zoom range ensures that you will be able to obtain intimate images without disturbing the scene. The optical zoom is also available while the camera is shooting video - making the T77 an excellent camcorder replacement. Moreover, the macro and magnifying glass modes are provided for super-sharp close-ups and miniature hobby photography
Double Anti-blur Solution with Super SteadyShot Image Stabilization
Sony's exclusive Super SteadyShot optical image stabilization combined with a high sensitivity (ISO 3200) means that the DSC-T77 compensates for shaky hands, minimizes blur and allows flash-free shooting to preserve the mood, plus Sony Clear RAW Noise Reduction reduces the picture noise that can ruin low-light or high ISO shots
9-Point Auto-focus & Semi-manual Focus
The DSC-T77 can measure auto-focus at 9 points over the image, giving you greater creative freedom to compose your image, and place your subjects off of the center of the image, yielding a more interesting composition. The Semi-manual focus lets you specify the camera's approximate focus distance, helping you capture your subject even in tricky conditions like through a fence or window
Intelligent Scene Recognition (iSCN)
When using Sony's exclusive intelligent scene recognition (iSCN), the camera automatically select the optimal settings for the best photo results by automatically detecting up to five scenes, and choose the best setting for the situation. In the advanced iSCN mode, the camera will shoot using the user's settings and then will automatically step in and take a second shot with optimized settings. If the camera determines that the user's settings are best, then a second photo is not taken
D-Range Optimization
The exclusive Sony Bionz high-speed processing engine provides the T77 with D-range optimization that preserves image data in bright highlights and reveals more detail in shadows or backlit areas
Face Detection and Smile Shutter Mode
Sony latest Face Detection technology recognizes up to 8 faces in a photo and automatically controls focus, exposure, color and flash to bring out the best in everyone. The Smile Shutter Mode helps you capture more smiles by shooting automatically when your subject laughs, smiles, even grins after the focus has been fixed. You select the person to watch and the expression to catch and the Face Detection system and intelligent Smile Shutter algorithm do the rest
Anti-blink Function
The Anti-blink function automatically captures two images, recording only the photo with less squinting when the camera is set to Portrait Mode. If a blink is detected in other shooting modes, a warning will be displayed after you take the shot
Record MPEG Movies
The DSC-T77 can capture VGA (640 x 480) audio/video clips at high frame rate (up to 30 frames per second), with length limited only by the capacity of your media.
