The Sony A77 Review! [Part 3]

Hello again for the 3rd installment of the A77 review
[yes I dont get paid for this so I still have to go to a 9-5 job ^_^]

Now being THE premiere SLT cam on the market, it has a LOT of other bells and whistles [some taken from other bodies like NEX], some of the more notable and fun ones are:

Miniature, "creates a vivid and blurred image, as if the scene was a miniature model. The blurred section is determined by the AF and the way you hold the camera", this basically means you can make [almost] any real world object look like a scale model.

Real world car, pretty cute effect.

HDR Painting is another pretty nifty effect [take note this takes 3 shots]

Three shots and instant pretty painting

Soft Focus is another effect that might be useful, this makes the image seem a bit out of focus [even when it is] and makes the whole scene looks dreamy.


There are others that have been around for awhile that you might useful and that other sites have emphasized [like built in HDR, Selective Color etc] so I'll only mention them in passing.

Toy Camera: Makes your image look like it was taken by a toy camera. Has Normal, Cool [bluish tint], Warm [sepia tint], Green [uhh...], Magenta [err...] settings, like applying filters to your toy cam.

Pop Color: Pastel wonderland of vivid colors.

Posterize: Has Black and White and Color modes

Retro: Makes the scene look like it was taken in the 60-70's.

Soft High-Key: "Creates the look of an old photo with soft colors and reduced contrast", yeah 80's photo's

Partial Color: Red, Green, Blue & Yellow. Turns everything except the selected color into black and white.

High Contrast Mono: Ever thought what it would look like with Life in Mono?

Rich-tone Mono: Same as above except its HDR [rich tones and detail]. Takes 3 shots.

I'll add more content to the review [which is starting to sound like a guide] tomorrow. Sorry, had to rearrange parts of the review and make more content. Next Part 4!
