Super SteadyShot

When you shoot in low light, the shutter remains open longer, so to compensate for shaky hands or fast-moving subjects, the Sony Super SteadyShot system automatically reduces image blur.

Sharp, Clear Photos The Preserve the Mood.

With high-sensitivity (ISO 1600) shooting, the Sony a (alpha) DSLR-A100 camera captures great photos without flash even in low light, which makes it an idealsystem 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 a (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 a (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.
