Sony ALPHA DSLR-A200W Brochure




DSLR-A200W	DSLR Camera w/ DT 18-70mm F3.5-5.6 Zoom & 75-300mm F4.5-5.6 Telephoto Zoom

Why your first DSLR should be a Sony. The Sony® α; (alpha) DSLR-A200 improves your image with 10.2 MP performance, high sensitivity, SteadyShot INSIDE™ in-camera stabilization, versatile Creative Style settings and up to 750-shot2 Stamina® power -- plus a spectacular array of Sony, Carl Zeiss® and Minolta a-mount lenses to broaden your creative horizons.

Step-up	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™ in-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 Sony® 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 Sony® 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 Sony® α ;(alpha) DSLRA200 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 Sony® 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.

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.

Note:

Sony Quick AF Live View is featured on DSLR-A300 and DSLR-A350. DSLR-A200 LCD can only provide menu display (during shooting) and image display (during playback).

Index and Slide Show Display

To quickly review your photos, the Sony® α; (alpha) DSLR-A200 can display 4, 9 or 25-frame index views -- or present automatic slide shows with fade-in/fade-out effect.
