Sony DSLR-A350 Specification Sheet

DSLR-A350
Digital Single Lens Reflex Camera (body)
14.2 MP CCD
The highest pixel resolution in its class (as of January 2008), for spectacular image detail for making big prints and tight crops. An
advanced APS-size CCD imager developed by Sony expands dynamic range and minimizes noise more effectively for clear, sharp
photos even at high sensitivity setting (up to ISO 3200).
Live Preview of Your Subject
The DSLR-A350's Live Preview mode links you and your subject on a large 2.7" LCD screen, for a familiar point-and-shoot style -- with
1
super-quick AF response and accurate exposure control to help you catch the perfect moment. In Live Preview mode, the camera
bypasses the optical pentaprism mirror to create a live "eye-to-eye" view on the LCD of loved ones, children, pets and fast-changing
scenes.
Tiltable 2.7" 1 Clear Photo LCD Plus™ Screen
A large built-in screen with 2-way angle tilt provides a sharp, clear view of your subject and tilts up or down for low-angle or high-angle
monitoring in situations where you want a child-level or overhead shot.
Continuous Shooting While Viewing
The DSLR-A350 lets you shoot continuously at up to 2 frames per second while you see your subject in the large 2.7" LCD viewfinder ,
2
so you never lose track of the action. In JPEG mode, you can shoot up to the limit of your flash memory card; in RAW Burst Mode you
can capture up to 4 shots, with intelligent buffer management to allow more shots to be captured without waiting for the buffer to
clear.
Smart Teleconverter 2X Zoom
At the touch of a button you can zoom in electronically on your subject, reproducing pixels on a 1:1 basis with no degradation in
picture quality. One touch zooms in at 1.4X, the second touch advances to 2X zoom -- creating the 35mm equivalent of a 200mm
telephoto effect with the DSLR-A350's standard 18-70mm zoom lens.
Expanded ISO Sensitivity
A broad sensitivity range from ISO 100 to ISO 3200 enables the DSLR-A350 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™ In-Camera Image Stabilization
Because image stabilization is built into the DSLR-A350, every lens benefits by an advantage of from 2.5 to 3.5 exposure steps. This
allows you to shoot effectively with minimum blur even in low light without flash -- or adjust exposure control for smaller lens aperture to
increase depth of field and bring both foreground and background into sharp focus.
BIONZ™ Image Processor
The "brain" of the Sony® α; (alpha) DSLR-A350 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.
1200-zone Evaluative Metering
5
Information from the image sensor dedicated to Live View is divided into 1200 zones of luminance and RGB color information. In
addition D-Range Optimizer technology contributes to judge the scene and then determine the optimum exposure to reproduce
images with a more natural look.
Dynamic Range Optimizer
To improve results with backlit subjects and recover details hidden in shadows or lost in glare, the DSLR-A350 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.
