Features

35mm full frame 24.6MP Exmor™ CMOS image sensor

The A850 features a 35mm full frame Exmor™ CMOS image sensor that is approximately 2.35x larger than the APS-C sized sensors found in many DSLR cameras. The result is a larger capture area, improved wide angle performance, and tighter depth of eld control. In addition, its

24.6MP resolution maximizes the resolving power of your existing lenses and delivers sharper, higher contrast photos.

SteadyShot INSIDE™ in-camera image stabilization:

Building on years of expertise, Sony has developed the world’s rst body-integrated image stabilization solution for a full frame DSLR actually shis the image sensor to compensate for camera shake without sacricing image quality. The compensation eect is equal to as many as four shutter speed steps, giving you more creative freedom when shooting in low light. And, because it is integrated into the camera body, SteadyShot INSIDE technology works with all compatible α system lenses.

. The SteadyShot INSIDE™ in-camera image stabilizer

Dual BIONZ™ processors for up to fast 3fps performance:

The α harnesses the power of Dual BIONZ™ image processing engines to deliver true-to-life images with ultra-low noise and continuous shooting at up to 3 fps.

Ultra bright, 98% coverage glass pentaprism viewnder

A large, ultra bright glass pentaprism viewnder provides you with amazing clarity and high optical performance for tighter focus control. In addition, it oers viewnder magnication of

0.74x, allowing you to see an image nearer to its actual size, as well as 98% eld coverage for detailed framing work.

Intelligent Preview Function

The Intelligent Preview function allows you to see the eects of manual adjustments to exposure value, shutter speed, aperture, Dynamic Range Optimizer and White Balance before you take the shot, so you can determine the optimum settings before you take the shot, instead of losing time to trial-and-error.

Precise and fast 9-point AF system w/ 10 point assist

A high-performance autofocus system uses 9 focus points (center dual-cross type) and 10 assist points to deliver fast and precise focusing.

Rugged magnesium alloy shell

The body of the A900 is entirely covered in a die-cast magnesium alloy shell, providing a rugged feel and surprisingly lightweight.

Moisture/dust-resistant design

Sealed viewnder optics and rubber gasket surrounds on all buttons, dials, and switches help resist the entry of dust and moisture into the camera, and allow for safe use in a wide range of environments.

Anti-Dust Technology

Changing lenses in a DSLR can allow dust to enter the camera -- so to help keep the CMOS imager cleaner for better pictures, the Sony® α; (alpha) DSLR-A900 utilizes both static-free antidust coating on the imager's lter and anti-dust vibration that automatically shakes the sensor to dislodge dust each time the camera is shut o.
