| Features |
| 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.
|
| Expanded ISO Sensitivity | | Broad sensitivity range from ISO 100 to ISO 3200 enables theSony® a; (alpha) DSLR-A200 to capture beautiful color images even in very dim light.
|
| SteadyShot INSIDE™ in-camera Image Stabilization | | A high-performance sensor detects vibrations and the image stabilization system automatically compensates.
|
| BIONZ™ Image Processor | | The “brain” of the Sony® 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.
|
| Dynamic Range Optimizer | | Sony® 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 | | 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.
|
| 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.
|
| Scene Selection Modes | | Along with auto exposure, the Sony® 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.
|
| 2.7”1 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 Sony® a; (alpha) DSLR-A200 can display 4, 9 or 25-frame index views -- or present automatic slide shows with fade-in/fade-out effect.
|
| 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.
