Superior Electronics, Amazing
Simplicity
In the revolutionary new Sony®
α
(alpha) 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
(alpha) DSLR-A100 camera
is your gateway to an incredibly
sophisticated array of lenses and
accessories -- 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-mount lenses
sold worldwide.
10 MP APS-size CCD imager
A large APS-size CCD imager allows
more light to pass to each pixel,
increasing sensitivity and reducing
noise -- and providing greater detail
when you make big prints or crop in
close on your subject.
Super SteadyShot® 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
SteadyShot® system automatically
reduces image blur. And because it
works in-camera, you’ll get the benefit
of Super SteadyShot® stabilization with
every lens you use.
Sharp, Clear Photos that Preserve the
Mood
With high-sensitivity (ISO 1600)
shooting, the Sony®
α
(alpha) 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.
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
(alpha) 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
(alpha) DSLR-A100 camera provides
two levels of Dynamic Range
Optimization: Normal DRO, to improve
shadow 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.
Bionz™ Image Processor
At the heart of the Sony®
α
(alpha)
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.
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
(alpha) 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” Clear Photo LCD Plus™ Screen
The Clear Photo LCD Plus™ design of
the Sony®
α
(alpha) 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 shots and check results.
1
Continuous Burst Mode at 3 Frames Per
Second
To catch fast action more effectively,
the Sony®
α
(alpha) DSLR-A100 camera
offers continuous JPEG image capture
up to the limit of your flash memory
card -- plus RAW Burst Mode (up to 6
shots) with intelligent buffer
management to allow more shots to
be captured without waiting for the
buffer to clear.
Super-Accurate Exposure Control
A 40-segment honeycomb sensing
system provides multi-pattern
measuring for superior exposure control
accuracy.

range of shooting conditions, the
