DSLR-A300X

DSLR Camera w/ DT 18-70mm F3.5-5.6 Zoom & DT 55-200mm F4-5.6 Telephoto Zoom
DSLR quality with point-and-shoot simplicity. The Sony® α; (alpha) DSLR-A300 links you and your subject with Live
Preview on a large 2.7”1 LCD monitor, for point-and-shoot simplicity -- with super-quick AF response, 10.2 MP quality
and in-camera SteadyShot INSIDE™ image stabilization that works with Sony, Carl Zeiss® and Minolta a-mount
lenses.
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,
and minimize noise more effectively for
clear, sharp photos even at high
sensitivity setting (up to ISO 3200).
Live Preview of Your Subject
The DSLR-A300’s Live Preview mode links
you and your subject on a large 2.7”
1 LCD screen, for a familiar point-andshoot style -- with 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 of
loved ones, children, pets and fastchanging 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 lowangle or high-angle monitoring in
situations where you want a child-level
or overhead shot.
Continuous Shooting While Viewing
The DSLR-A300 lets you shoot
continuously at up to 3 frames per
second while you see your subject in the
viewfinder2 , 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 6 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-A300’s
standard 18-70mm zoom lens.

Expanded ISO Sensitivity
A broad sensitivity range from ISO 100
to ISO 3200 enables the DSLR-A300 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.

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 DSLR-A300 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.

SteadyShot INSIDE™ In-Camera Image
Stabilization
Because image stabilization is built into
the DSLR-A300, 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.

Auto Pop-Up Flash
The camera flash automatically pops
up and fires when needed, to help firsttime DSLR photographers shoot more
effectively. Auto Pop-up works in Auto
mode and some scene selection
modes; Flash is cancelled in
Landscape, Sport or Sunset modes and
in “Flash Off” position on the Exposure
Mode dial.

BIONZ™ Image Processor
The “brain” of the Sony® α; (alpha)
DSLR-A300 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 Metering5
Exposure 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-A300 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.

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 DSLR-A300 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.
