sensitivity, SteadyShot INSIDE™ in-camera stabilization, versatile Creative Style settings and up to 750-shot
2
Stamina® power -- plus a spectacular array of Sony, Carl Zeiss® and Minolta a-mount lenses to broaden your
creative horizons.
10.2 MP CCD
Step-up
Superb image quality gives you great
DSLR shots right from the start, with a
large APS-size CCD imager developed
by Sony to expand dynamic range,
minimize noise more effectively and
provide greater detail for making big
prints or cropping in tight on your
subject.
Expanded ISO Sensitivity
Broad sensitivity range from ISO 100 to
ISO 3200 enables the α (alpha) DSLR-
A200 to capture beautiful color images
even in very dim light -- with High ISO
Noise Reduction technology that
reduces picture noise artifacts at high-
sensitivity ISO 1600 and ISO 3200
settings by eliminating noise from RAW
data after analog-to-digital
conversion.
SteadyShot INSIDE™ -camera Image
Stabilization
A high-performance sensor detects
vibrations and the image stabilization
system automatically compensates.
Because image stabilization is built into
the α (alpha) DSLR-A200, every lens
benefits -- and with an advantage of
from 2.5 to 3.5 stops, you can shoot
effectively at higher shutter speeds even
in very low light with minimum blur
from shaky hands or fast-moving
subjects.
BIONZ™ Image Processor
The "brain" of the α (alpha) DSLR-A200
is the advanced Sony BIONZ™ Image
Processor, using hardware-based Large
Scale Integrated (LSI) circuitry to
enhance images with rich tonal
reproduction, improved white balance
and exposure control, and expanded D-
Range Optimizer capabilities. With 2-
channel data transfer from CCD to
processor, your camera can also
respond faster.
Digital Single Lens Reflex Camera (body)
Dynamic Range Optimizer
To improve results with backlit subjects
and recover details hidden in shadows
or lost in glare, the α (alpha) DSLR-A200
provides Dynamic Range Optimizer at
two levels: Normal DRO, to improve
detail using standard gamma curves
for fast shot-to-shot response time, or
Advanced DRO, to adjust dynamic
range area-by-area for the greatest
precision.
Anti-Dust Technology
Changing lenses in a DSLR can allow
dust to enter the camera -- so to keep
the CCD imager cleaner for better
pictures, the α (alpha) DSLR-A200 utilizes
both static-free anti-dust coating on the
CCD filter and anti-dust vibration that
automatically shakes the CCD to
dislodge dust each time the camera is
shut off.
Auto Pop-Up Flash
In Auto or some scene selection modes,
the camera flash automatically pops
up and fires when needed to help you
shoot more effectively. Flash is
cancelled in Landscape, Sport or Sunset
modes and in "Flash Off" position on
the Exposure Mode dial.
Eye-Start Autofocus System
It begins precision autofocus
adjustments the moment you raise the
camera to your eye -- so unlike some
DSLR cameras that don't start focusing
until the shutter button is half-pressed,
the Sony α (alpha) DSLR-A200 never
slows down your ability to catch fast
action.
9-Point Center Cross AF Sensor
A fast focus motor and improved focus
control help bring images into sharp
definition more quickly, with predictive
focus control that automatically
calculates the position of a fast-moving
subject.
Flexible, Accurate Exposure Control
A 40-segment honeycomb sensing
system provides multi-pattern
measuring for superior exposure control
accuracy -- and you can also select
center-weighted or spot metering
modes. You'll also have 6 preset White
Balance control settings and RGB
Histogram display to check color
balance.
Scene Selection Modes
Along with auto exposure, the α (alpha)
DSLR-A200 gives you scene selection
modes to optimize camera
performance for Portrait, Landscape,
Macro, Sports, Sunset and Night
Portrait/Night View situations.
Creative Style Settings
To express your creativity and personal
taste, you can adjust contrast,
saturation and sharpness settings for
any of 8 finishing styles -- including
Standard, Vivid, Portrait, Landscape,
Night View, Sunset, B & W and Adobe
RGB modes.
