10.2 MP 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 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.

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.
