Meanwhile SteadyShot INSIDE image stabilization delivers astonishingly blur-free images at shutter speeds approximately 2.5 to 4.5 stops lower than otherwise possible, enabling photographers to shoot excellent images when shooting indoors or in other low-light situations.

With the SLT-A57 (α57) camera, shooting speeds of up to 12 frames per second are achieved in new Tele-zoom Continuous Advance Priority AE mode, maintaining continuous auto focus and auto exposure with fixed aperture. Magnifying the central portion of the sensor's image by 1.4x (8.4 megapixels image size), it's perfect for capturing split-second action close-ups with a burst of sharply focused images, even when the subject is moving.

Additionally, the α57 camera lets user create powerfully expressive Full HD movies. Responsive full-time continuous phase detection AF ensures that moving subjects stay sharply focused, just like with still shooting. AVCHD (Ver. 2.0) Progressive compatibility means that Full HD resolution movies can be captured with 60p (NTSC) / 50p (PAL) frame rate: ideal for capturing smooth, blur-free action. Shooting in 24p (NTSC) / 25p (PAL) is also available to give footage a rich, cinematic look.

Still and video shooting, framing, focusing and real-time preview can be achieved on the 1.44 million dots high-resolution Tru-Finder electronic viewfinder that offers a wide viewing angle and 100% field of view.

Using face detection and the compositional "rule of thirds", the camera identifies a subject's position, trimming the scene to create tightly framed, professional-looking pictures in portrait or landscape orientation while maintaining a copy of the original image. Saving both the original photo plus the adjusted version allows for easy comparison between the two images, offering photographers inspiration to refine their portrait skills.

SLT-A57 (α57) features Intelligent Auto mode, which automatically distinguishes shooting conditions, and the type of scene and subject, and adjusts settings accordingly including aperture, shutter speed, ISO sensitivity and white balance to deliver optimal results. Superior Auto mode goes a step further, automatically activating advanced functions such as Continuous Shooting, Auto HDR, or Handheld Twilight based on the scene and subject. Indicators tell the user what functions are being used, helping beginners learn what functions and settings are appropriate for different types of scenes.
