Super SteadyShot® image stabilization works
wonders with any lens.

Since image stabilization is built inside the digital SLR camera body, you can
harness the full potential of any lens or compatible Dynax/Maxxum®/Alpha
lenses from Minolta or Konica Minolta.

• Amount of stabilization will differ by lens and shooting conditions.

• Super SteadyShot feature is not compatible with Konica Minolta AF Macro

Sony DT Lenses

The APS-C size image se nsor used in digital
SLRs has slightly different optical requirements
than 35 mm format, as can be seen by
comparing 2 images taken at the same focal
length. DT lenses feature downsized opt ics that
are optimized for the sm aller angle of view of
APS-C size image s ensors. These optics a lso
result in more compact l ens bodies.

DT Lenses cannot be use d with 35 mm format cameras.
