Auto HDR

Now Sony makes it easy to capture a huge range of highlights and shadows in a single scene.

Auto HDR (High Dynamic Range) mode shoots two frames at different exposure settings, merging both images to produce a single HDR image, packed with fascinating detail. Best of all, you don’t need a PC or special skills to get dramatic results.

D-Range Optimiser

Any camera’s metering system can be confused by tricky subjects that include very light and dark areas. 

The D-Range Optimiser in your Sony DSLR camera analyses each scene, adjusting exposure values for beautifully balanced images with rich, deep shadows and clear, natural highlight details.

The heart of your DSLR camera

Light passing through the lens falls onto the CCD or Exmor CMOS Sensor inside your DSLR camera, producing tiny electrical signals that are translated into digital information. This digital data is cleaned and optimised by the powerful BIONZ imaging processor and sophisticated noise reduction algorithms. The result? Breathtaking low-noise images, bursting with exquisite colours and the subtlest tonal detail.

CCD Sensor

Moving up from your compact camera to DSLR photography? You’ll be amazed by the images captured by the APS-C size CCD Sensor inside Sony entry-level cameras.

Discover amazing clarity, even when your photos are enlarged to A3 print size.

Full-frame Exmor CMOS Sensor

With an extraordinary resolution of 24.6 effective megapixels, the full-frame sensor inside the A900 and A850 captures flawless, professional quality images.

It’s a perfect way to exploit the outstanding optical performance of Sony G Lens and lenses by Carl Zeiss.

Clearer, sharper images with every lens

Camera shake is one of the commonest causes of spoilt pictures. If you don’t have a tripod handy the risk of blurred images rises, especially when you’re shooting at high zoom settings or using a slower shutter speed. SteadyShot INSIDE cuts the effects of camera shake by as much as four stops. It gives you freedom to capture crisp, sharp handheld images in virtually any shooting situation without needing flash.

SteadyShot INSIDE

Keeps things beautifully clear when you’re shooting handheld. SteadyShot INSIDE is an optical image stabiliser in every Sony DSLR camera that automatically compensates for the effects of hand shake. It’s effective at all focal lengths and exposure settings.

And best of all, it works automatically with every compatible lens for your Sony DSLR camera – so there’s no need to invest in expensive, bulky image-stabilised optics.
