12.24 MP Exmor™ Imaging Sensor

A newly designed APS-C size CMOS imager with on-chip noise-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-A700P’s high-performance lenses and providing spectacular detail for making big prints. Advanced on-sensor A/D conversion yields rich tonal reproduction with high signal-to-noise ratio.

BIONZ™ Image Processor

At the heart of the Sony® α; (alpha) DSLR-A700P 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.

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-A700P’s viewfinder image makes it easier to see your subject, compose your shot and adjust focus manually.

Super-Accurate Exposure Control

A 40-segment honeycomb sensing system provides multi-pattern measuring for superior exposure control accuracy in a wide range of lighting conditions.

Easy-to-Use Exposure Mode Dial

The Sony® α; (alpha) DSLR-A700P’s top-mounted dial gives you quick access to Program Auto, Aperture priority, Shutter-speed priority, Manual and full Auto exposure setting modes -- as well as six scene selection modes that optimize camera focus, exposure, brightness, contrast and other settings for Portrait, Landscape, Macro, Sports Action, Sunset and Night View/Portrait scenes.

Built-In Flash

The Sony® α; (alpha) DSLR-A700P flip-up flash covers a wide focal range, synchronizes at 1/250 sec., supports red-eye reduction and slow flash features as well as manual flash mode to set flash intensity. A wireless flash signal is available for external flash synchronization.

Xtra Fine™ 3.0”¹ LCD Screen with 921k Pixels

With almost 1 MP performance, it’s like having a high-resolution photo viewer built into your camera -- and the Sony® α; (alpha) DSLR-A700P’s amazing photo-quality screen displays sharp, bright images even outdoors with a wide viewing angle so you can share photos more easily.

Wireless Remote Control

For shooting as well as viewing convenience, Sony supplies a multi-function wireless remote control with the Sony® α; (alpha) DSLR-A700P -- allowing you to control HDTV photo viewing and trip the shutter by remote to put yourself in the picture.

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.

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 theSony® α; (alpha) DSLR-A700P 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.

11-Point Center Dual Cross AF Sensor

A newly developed Sony AutoFocus 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.

Creative Custom Settings

The Sony® α; (alpha) DSLR-A700P is designed to bring out your creativity with a wide range of auto preference settings, including four basic image styles (Standard, Vivid, Neutral and Adobe RGB) and three style-box memory settings for quick setup in special events like weddings and competitive sports.

Stamina® Power

To give you confidence for long shooting sessions in the field, the α (alpha) DSLR-A700P can take up to 650 shots³ on a fully charged NP-FM500H InfoLithium® battery -- with indication in percentage of about how much battery power remains.

Quick Setting Recall

The “C” button allows you to make changes more quickly by calling up Creative Style settings, Exposure compensation, Flash compensation and many more operating modes and camera functions.

Anti-Dust Technology

Changing lenses in a DSLR can allow dust to enter the camera -- so to help keep the CMOS imager cleaner for better pictures, the α (alpha) DSLR-A700 utilizes both static-free anti-dust coating on the imager's filter and anti-dust vibration that automatically shakes the sensor to dislodge dust each time the camera is shut off.

Note:

Sony Quick AF Live View is featured on DSLR-A300 and DSLR-A350. DSLR-A700 LCD can only provide menu display (during shooting) and image display (during playback).
