Spring 2007

Getting the shot you really want.

Any camera takes pictures. Sony®cameras take

great pictures, even when the circumstances

are less than great. Sony cameras shine when the

light is low. When subjects are distant. Or moving

quickly. Sony uses the latest digital technology to

help you get the shot you really want.

Sony innovation comes from a mastery of all

things digital: from the sensors that capture your

picture to the processor that manages it to the

media that stores it to the battery that powers

the entire system. Backed by these vast resources,

we’re free to create digital cameras that change

the way you see the world.

So don’t settle for ordinary pictures. Get the shot

The new face of photography: Sony Face Detection.

Have you ever seen pictures with the faces bleached out because the flash was too strong? Or blurry faces because the camera didn’t know where to focus? Or faces too dark because light was coming

a100 digital SLR – solves these problems

processor – originally

automatically. A BIONZ function called Face Detection identifies the faces in your scene and adjusts focus, exposure, white balance and flash. The result? Great pictures, every time!

WITHOUT FACE DETECTION WITH FACE DETECTION

Sony solves common exposure, focus, flash and white balance problems with Face Detection technology. (Sample photos for illustration purposes.)

Perfecting your pictures.

Even after you take the shot, Sony’s BIONZ processor continues to make it better. A BIONZ function called Dynamic Range Optimizer (DRO) corrects “blown out” highlights and “crushed” blacks with beautifully exposed images. And Red-Eye Correction automatically detects and fixes the ghoulish red eyes that can mar flash photography.

Make your memories even more memorable.

For an added touch of drama or fun, you can use the BIONZ processor for in-camera retouching. With Soft Edge, Cross, Partial Color and Fish-Eye filters, ordinary pictures become extraordinary.

Capture the glow, not the glare.

The birthday candles. The nightclub. The limo ride downtown. They all change under the harsh glare of flash photography. Now Sony lets you capture these moments without flash – and without blur.
