Sorry if it sounds silly, but from the descriptions its not obvious to me and I'm not familiar with Sony DSLRs: you're talking about changing settings (ISO, EXC) during the burst?

The regular burst mode is 8 fps.
12 fps is a special mode that has some restrictions. On A55 (where 10 fps was special mode), the camera sets aperture to f/3.5 or maximum aperture for slower lenses, with the shutter speed & ISO chosen by the camera accordingly. You could override the defaults with + or - 2 stops exposure compensation. If you wanted control over the aperture in 10 fps mode, you had to turn off AF-C.
I guess the only difference is that A77 allows the user to choose the ISO in 12 fps mode (unlike A55 that didn't)?
