imaging innovations like high-sensitivity shooting with Super
Steady in-camera image stabilization, Dynamic Range Optimizer
to automatically increase detail in bright and dark picture
areas, new Anti-Dust technology to keep the CCD imager clean for
better pictures, and Eye-Start Autofocus system for faster camera
response. It also builds on a two-decade legacy of Minolta
photographic leadership, accepting millions of A- lenses

Superior Electronics, Amazing Simplicity
In the revolutionary new Sony α DSLR-A100 camera, Sony digital
technology takes you a giant step toward professional
performance--with advanced imaging, image stabilization, and
creative control functions, plus ease of operation that helps
everyone take better digital pictures right from the start.
Advanced Lenses and Accessories
The Sony α DSLR-A100 camera is your gateway to an incredibly
sophisticated array of lenses
( http://www..com/exec/obidos/tg/feature/-/1085901 ) and
accessories ( http://www..com/exec/obidos/tg/feature/-/1086001 ) --including precision Sony standard and zoom lenses, Sony "G"
Series lenses with advanced motorized autofocusing, amazingly
bright Carl Zeiss T* coated lenses, professional-quality flash
units, and compatibility with over 16 million Maxxum, Dynax, and
A- lenses sold worldwide.
The Sony α DSLR-A100's CCD system provides Steady image
stabilization and anti-dust vibration. 10-Megapixel Super HAD CCD
A large APS-size CCD imager with Sony's advanced Super HAD (Hole
Accumulated Diode) design allows more light to pass to each
pixel, increasing sensitivity, reducing noise, and providing
greater detail when you make big prints or crop in close on your
subject.
Super Steady Optical Image Stabilization
When you shoot with high sensitivity, the shutter remains open
longer--so to compensate for shaky hands or fast-moving subjects,
the Sony Super Steady system automatically reduces image
blur. And because it works in-camera, you'll get the benefit of
Super Steady stabilization with every lens you use.
Sharp, Clear Photos that Preserve the Mood
With high-sensitivity (ISO 1600) shooting, the Sony α DSLR-A100
camera captures great photos without flash even in low
light--which makes it an ideal system camera for shooting without
a tripod or in locations (like museums and churches) where flash
is prohibited.
Static-free anti-dust coating and the A100's anti-dust vibration
system keep the CCD free of the dust that can mar images.

) Anti-Dust Technology
Changing lenses in a DSLR can allow dust to enter the camera--so
to keep the CCD imager clean for better pictures, the Sony α
DSLR-A100 camera 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.
Dynamic Range Optimizer
To recover details in dark or bright areas of the picture, the
Sony α DSLR-A100 camera provides two levels of Dynamic Range
Optimization: Normal DRO, to improve shadow detail using standard
gamma curves for fast -to- response time, or Advanced
DRO, to adjust dynamic range area-by-area for the greatest
precision.
Bionz Image Processor
At the heart of the Sony α DSLR-A100 camera is the advanced
Bionz Image Processor, using hardware-based Large Scale
Integrated (LSI) circuitry that responds ten times faster than
software image processors--improving camera response time,
handling Dynamic Range Optimization processing, and extending
Stamina battery life.
To reduce blur and increase response time, an Eye-Start Autofocus
sensor begins the DSLR-A100's precision autofocus adjustments the
moment you bring your eye to the viewfinder. Eye-Start Autofocus
System
Some DSLR systems don't start focusing until the shutter button
is half-pressed--but that can slow down camera response. The Sony
α DSLR-A100 camera begins its precision autofocus adjustments the
moment you bring your eye to the viewfinder, to capture
fast-action subjects other cameras might blur.
2.5-Inch Clear Photo LCD Plus Screen
The Clear Photo LCD Plus design of the Sony α DSLR-A100 camera's
built-in screen makes it easy to read camera setup menus even in
bright sunlight--and gives you a better picture when you use your
screen to set up s and check results.
Continuous Burst Mode at 3 Frames Per Second
To catch fast action more effectively, the Sony α DSLR-A100
camera offers continuous JPEG image capture up to the limit of
your flash memory card--plus RAW Burst Mode (up to six s)
with intelligent buffer management to allow more s to be
captured without waiting for the buffer to clear.
18-70mm f3.5-4.5 Lens
The Sony α A100 kit includes a 18-70mm f3.5-4.5 3.9x zoom lens,
equivalent to 27-105mm in 35mm photography.
Super-Accurate Exposure Control
A 40-segment honeycomb sensing system provides multi-pattern
measuring for superior exposure control accuracy.
Flexible Exposure Modes
For greater creative freedom in a wide range of shooting
conditions, the Sony α DSLR-A100 camera provides full manual
exposure control as well as Program Auto, Aperture Priority,
Shutter Priority, and Exposure Compensation modes.

you need for composing your with foreground, background or
off-center subjects--including manual focus point selection, Spot
AF, Continuous AF, and AF Lock.
