10.2 MP Super HAD™ CCD
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 a (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.
Super SteadyShot® in-camera Image Stabilization
A
high-performance sensor detects vibrations and the image stabilization
system automatically compensates. Because image stabilization is built
into the a (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 a (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.
Dynamic Range Optimizer
To improve results with
backlit subjects and recover details hidden in shadows or lost in
glare, the a (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 a (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 a (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
a (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.
2.7in Clear Photo™ LCD Screen
A large built-in
screen with anti-reflective coating makes it easy to read camera setup
menus even in bright sunlight and improves image quality when you check
your shots.
Index and Slide Show Display
To quickly review your
photos, the a (alpha) DSLR-A200 can display 4, 9 or 25-frame index
views -- or present automatic slide shows with fade-in/fade-out effect.
Function Guide Display
On-screen menus are
intuitive and easy to use -- and a simple Camera Function Display can
be activated and operated with one hand using the Fn (Function) button
and controller button to adjust Flash mode, Autofocus mode, White
Balance, Metering mode, AF area and D-Range Optimizer.
Continuous Burst Mode at 3 Frames Per Second
To
capture action more effectively, the a (alpha) DSLR-A200 offers
continuous JPEG shooting up to the limit of your flash memory card --
plus RAW Burst Mode (up to 6 shots) with intelligent buffer management
to allow more shots to be captured without waiting for the buffer to
clear.
Stamina® Battery Power
You can take up to 750
shots2 on a fully charged NP-FM500H InfoLITHIUM® battery -- and you’ll
be able to see about how much power remains in percentage increments,
so you can keep shooting in confidence.
High-Capacity Media Options
For conveniently
storing and sharing your images, the a (alpha) DSLR-A200 accepts
CompactFlash™ Type I/II media and Memory Stick PRO Duo™ media via an
optional adaptor.
Advanced Lenses and Accessories
The Sony a (alpha)
system gives you everything you need to expand your creativity in DSLR
photography: precision Sony DT zoom lenses and specialty lenses, Sony
“G” Series lenses with advanced motorized autofocusing, amazingly
bright Carl Zeiss® T coated lenses, professional-quality flash units,
and over 16 million Minolta a-mount lenses sold worldwide.
