Optics and Focus

The Sony A700 DSLR is designed for Sony A-mount and Minolta A-mount lenses. For exposure metering, the camera uses the 40-segment honeycomb sensing system that offers multi-pattern measurement for accuracy in variable lighting conditions. The camera provides multi-segment, center-weighted, spot metering methods along with program auto, aperture priority, shutter priority, and exposure compensation modes. There are 11 phase-detection AF points in the center dual cross AF sensor that enable you to take photos of stationary and moving objects. In the extended mode, the camera's ISO sensitivity reaches up to 6400. The Super SteadyShot image stabilization cuts down the visual appearance of camera shakes to make your videos fluid in movement and photos blur-free.
