2nd Generation Translucent Mirror Design

Other DSLRs can shoot. Or they can focus with the speed and precision of Phase Detection AF. They cannot do both at once. Sony changes all that with the award-winning Translucent Mirror Technology system. It directs light to both the image sensor and the Phase Detection AF sensor simultaneously.

Worlds first OLED viewfinder²

Theres never been anything quite like the Tru-Finder OLED electronic viewfinder. For size, speed and brightness even after 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.

Full-time Phase Detection AF

You get fast, accurate auto focus in every modeeven HD Movie and Live Viewthanks to Sonys exclusive Translucent Mirror Technology. While Contrast Detection Auto Focus often hunts for correct focus, Phase Detection AF knows exactly where correct focus is, and goes straight for it.

Object Tracking AF

Locks onto a specified object and maintains focus even as the subject moves. Unpredictable subjects stay in focus even while zooming. You can concentrate on composition without worrying about focus.

Handheld Twilight mode

Get gorgeous shots at night without a tripod. Combines six frames into a single image for smooth, low-noise evening shots. (Recommended for still subjects.)

Sweep Panorama Mode

Capture expansive landscapes automatically. Press the shutter, sweep vertically or horizontally. The camera does the rest, continuously shooting images and stitching them together.

921K dot TruBlack LCD screen

Sony's 3.0-inch Xtra Fine LCD monitor has 921K dots for superb resolution. The TruBlack screen includes a special resin layer to suppress internal reflections, increasing contrast compared to conventional LCDs. Sunny Weather mode boosts visibility even further.

AUTO+ (Advanced Auto) mode

Get cleaner, more dynamic pictures and fewer missed shots. Unifies and simplifies Sony intelligent technologies. The camera automatically recognizes the correct scene mode.

Dynamic Range Optimizer (DRO)

Improves results with backlit subjects and recovers details hidden in shadows. Settings include Auto, Level with a choice of five operating levels and Off.

HDMI output for HD viewing

Enjoy HD movies and stunning still images on a compatible HDTV. The camera includes an HDMI output. In addition, the BRAVIA Sync system works with compatible Sony BRAVIA HDTVs enabling you to control camera playback using the television's remote

Advanced Anti-Dust Technology

Anti-Dust Technology helps keep the CMOS sensor clean, resulting in consistently clear pictures. First a static-free coating on the sensor's low-pass filter helps repel dust. Then vibration automatically dislodges dust from the sensor.

APS-C size HD CMOS image sensor

With 19.5 times the area of the typical camcorder image sensor, APS-C makes the difference between amateur and professional-looking video, delivering an exceptional combination of high resolution, high sensitivity and gorgeous, blurred backgrounds.

Face Detection and Registration

The camera can automatically detect up to eight individual faces and adjust focus, exposure, white balance and flash to help deliver crisp, properly lit images of people. Can prioritize children or adults. Face Registration can remember friends and family members and prioritize them.

Ultra-fast up to 10 fps continuous

The translucent mirror makes it far easier to capture the decisive soccer kick or your baby at her absolute cutest. Shoots up to 10 frames per second at full-resolution 24.3 megapixels with continuous auto focus (AE locked after first frame).

HD movies with full manual control

Now you dont need to surrender control when you shoot HD movies.⁴ Enjoy the full expressive potential of Program, Shutter Priority, Aperture Priority or Manual (P/A/S/M) control in HD movie mode.

Worlds shortest release time lag

Helps ensure that the image you want is the image you get. Once auto focus occurs, release time lag is the delay between fully pressing the shutter release and when the camera actually starts taking the picture. Long lag makes it harder to capture fast-moving objects. The Sony A65 boasts the worlds shortest release time lag at only 0.05 seconds.

Multi-frame NR

Experience incredible low-light shooting without a flash. 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.)

3D Sweep Panorama Mode

Capture vast scenic vistas and 16:9 shots in spectacular 3D. As you sweep across the panorama, the camera records separate right-eye and left-eye images that make landscapes come alive on your 3D television¹. Records both JPEG and MPO file formats.

Tilt/swivel LCD screen

Tilt it up or down to frame high- and low-angle shots that would otherwise be hit-or-miss. Tilt and swivel under the camera for self-portraits. Finally, the monitor folds flush to the camera with the LCD exposed for shooting or protected for travel.

ISO 16000 sensitivity

Incredibly clear low-light pictures without sacrificing detail, made possible by the low-noise Exmor APS HD CMOS image sensor and refined BIONZ image processor.

Upgraded BIONZ image processor

The brain of the camera is a Sonys BIONZ image processor substantially upgraded for the demands of 24.3 megapixel photography. Chroma noise reduction delivers high-resolution, low-noise photos even at ISO 16000. Also enables fast processing for up to 10 fps continuous shooting of data-intensive 24.3 MP images, 2D/3D Sweep Panorama modes and 6-image layering.

SteadyShot INSIDE stabilization

Image stabilization reduces blur by compensating for camera shake. Typical DSLR systems build image stabilization into selected lenses only. SteadyShot INSIDE image stabilization is built into the camera body itself. You'll reduce blur with every A Mount lens, including macro and wide-aperture standard zoom lenses.

P/A/S/M exposure modes

The camera offers a full range of controls from the beginner's AUTO+ mode to P/A/S/M: Program, Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority and Manual. On-screen prompts help you refine your skills, build your confidence and exercise greater creative control.

Slot for two media types

Full-Time Live View in LCD or EVF

You can use both the LCD monitor and OLED Electronic Viewfinder for composing shots in Live View. Both provide a what-you-see-is-what-you-get preview of white balance, focus, depth of field, exposure and 100% framing accuracy, plus informative on-screen displays.

6-image layering

Leverages the fast BIONZ processor to capture six images in a fraction of a second, and then combine the data. The result is one incredible single image that gets a cleaner result in Multi-Frame NR mode or sharper nighttime pictures in Hand-held Twilight mode.

Auto HDR built into camera

Captures more scene dynamic range than a single exposure can handleand more range than photo film. Combines the best highlight detail from one shot, the best mid-tones from a second and the best shadow detail from a third for one incredible shot. (Recommended for still subjects.)

Shot Result Preview

Sony Exmor technology

Conventional image sensors use only a handful of analog-to-digital (A/D) converters, which can slow you down. The Exmor sensor provides more than 5,600 column-parallel A/D converters. This helps enable continuous shooting at up to 10 frames per second.

Smile Shutter technology

Captures a smile the moment it happens. Simply select the Smile Shutter mode and the camera takes the picture automatically. You can prioritize children or adults and adjust the smile sensitivity.

Enjoy superior performance

A new era in professional photography has begun. Thanks to Sony's revolutionary Translucent Mirror Technology, now you can enjoy continuous shooting speed at full resolution and accelerated full-time continuous phase-detection autofocusing – even while shooting Full HD movies. This technological breakthrough allows light passing through the lens to be received simultaneously by the image sensor and autofocus sensor – enabling continuous focusing and image capturing on a full-time basis. Go on. Experience the revolution today.

24.3-megapixel* Exmor™ APS HD CMOS sensor

Shoot exceptionally rich images

Sony's new proprietary Exmor™ APS HD CMOS sensor (APS-C size), lets you capture stunning images brimming with exceptionally rich detail at an astounding 24.3-megapixel* resolution. Complementing this ultra-high resolution is an extra large sensor size that raises sensitivity in low-light conditions and strengthens background defocusing effects. Giving you nothing but picture-perfect quality every time.

World's First* XGA OLED Viewfinder

Get a clearer perspective

See the world through the eyes of a65's XGA OLED Tru-Finder. A world's first*, it displays every scene with incredible contrast, clarity and colour accuracy. Easy on your eyes, it makes viewing under any type of lighting almost effortless – automatically adjusting to dark or bright sunlight scenes.

Among interchangeable-lens camera with APS-C size sensors as of August 2011.

XGA OLED Tru-Finder

10 fps Continuous Shooting With Quick AF

Capture more moments per second

Shoot up to 10 images at full 24.3-megapixel* resolution all in a single second. Even at maximum 10fps continuous shooting speed, your subjects will stay sharply focused thanks to the supreme speed and precision of accelerated full-time continuous phase-detection autofocusing and Sony's Translucent Mirror Technology. Now you can capture every fleeting moment, in all types of situations effortlessly, with professional-looking results.

With Translucent Mirror Technology

In Sony's SLT cameras, the Translucent mirror stays in place, allowing light to reach both the image sensor and phase-detection AF sensor simultaneously. Without the need for the mirror to flip back into position before the next shot, the SLT-A65 is able to achieve ultra-fast response of up to 10 fps with full-time, high-speed AF detection. Moving subjects are always kept in focus.

With regular DSLR Technology

In regular DSLR cameras, the mirror flips upward and downward for image capture, causing blackout time with every shot you take.

Effective pixels (approx.)

Notes: Continuous shooting speed may be depending on shooting conditions. In Continuous Priority AE Mode, the aperture is fixed at F3.5 or the maximum aperture of the lens, whichever is smaller. Continuous shooting speed (fps) lowers when high ISO NR function is On.

Auto Portrait Framing

Snapping balanced shots is now a breeze

Sony's auto portrait framing feature helps you shoot remarkably balanced portraits with a professional touch. Your close-ups will look stunning, thanks to the dramatic trimming function. An additional optimally framed image of all your shots will also be automatically saved to give you results that are truly amazing.

Clear Image Zoom

Enjoy amazingly clear close-ups

Clear Image Zoom uses By Pixel Super Resolution Technology to help you zoom in on your shots with greater clarity. It virtually doubles your zooming range to that of a standard lens. You'll be able to create dramatic close-ups, enjoy greater shooting flexibility and take better advantage of the brightness of compact single focus lenses.

New Tru-Finder

Achieve your creative vision with confidence

The viewfinder displays the scene you're shooting accurately, enabling you to fine-tune your image to achieve the desired results. It features a wide 36.2º viewing angle and sharp 1440k-dot resolution with approximately 48% more effective pixels* than the a55/35.

Enhanced Object Tracking

The newly improved Object Tracking feature helps track your subjects with speed and precision. When your subject is a person, it automatically switches between face detection tracking and object tracking, depending on whether the person is facing the camera or away.

Shading And Aberration Compensation For Interchangeable Lenses

The a37 compensates for the shading and aberration characteristics of the lens you mount. This includes vignetting, lateral chromatic aberration and optical distortion, which can each be activated or deactivated through the menu as desired. Embedded data on supported A-mount lenses+ enures optimal compensation. +SAL1650, SAL1855, SAL18250, SAL55200-2, SAL1680Z, SAL16105, SAL24F20Z, SAL85F14Z, SAL135F18Z, SAL70300G, SAL35F18 and SAL50F18.

Bionz Image Processing Engine

BIONZ Image Processing Engine drastically reduces the picture noise level and achieves high accuracy in auto-focusing, exposure auto-correction and auto white balancing; creating more natural and vibrant images in different shooting environments.

Superior Auto Mode

Enjoy the convenience of point-and-shoot with Superior Auto mode. It automatically detects, analyses and adjusts the camera settings to achieve optimal results. This feature also helps you choose the ideal setting by combining the innovative technologies of Intelligent Auto Focus, Motion Detection and Intelligent Scene Recognition. Getting beautiful photos, even in challenging conditions and low light is now easier.

Auto HDR

Capturing three frames rapidly and digitally combining them into one, Auto HDR achieves greater shadow and highlight detail than normal exposure on images.

Hand-held Twilight

Automatically combining six frames taken at high speed into one, natural looking images can be taken in low light without flash or a tripod, with minimal blurring or noise.

D Range Optimizer

Bring out highlight and shadow detail in high-contrast lighting conditions when shooting portraits, or in continuous shooting mode with a high-speed BIONZ™ Processor.

SteadyShot INSIDE

Image stabilization enables the capture of sharp images easily in macro, indoor and other situations where use of a tripod or flash is not convenient.

Continuous Video Focusing

With full-time continuous phase-detection autofocusing, SLT-A37 keeps fast-moving movie subjects sharply focused at all times. As a result, it allows you to shoot movies with greater speed and precision.
