9-Point AF Selection
◆ The DSLR-A100 gives you all the focusing
options you need for composing shots with
foreground, background or off-center subjects
– including manual focus point selection,
Spot AF, Continuous AF and AF Lock.
– In ‘Wide focus area’ mode, the DSRL-A100
automatically selects optimum sections from
the nine individual focus points displayed in
the viewfinder, making it easier to capture
moving subjects.
– Predictive focus control dynamically pre-
dicts precise focus for moving subjects at the
moment the shutter is released. This makes
the 100 the perfect choice for sports and
action photography. You can also focus on
the centre of the frame only or select
manually from one of nine focus points.
3 fps Continuous Burst
◆ To catch fast action, the camera offers
continuous JPEG image capture at up to
3 fps, 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. So you can keep on
shooting to your heart's content.
High Performance
◆ With high-sensitivity (ISO 1600) shooting,
the DSLR-A100 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.
◆ At the heart of the DSLR-A100 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.
◆ Accurate framing and focusing depends
directly on the quality of the optical
viewfinder. The viewfinder of the DSRL-
A100 features Spherical Acute Matte screen
technology that enhances image brightness
for sure, accurate focusing. The viewfinder
provides a 95% field of view with 0.83x
magnification.
2.5˝ 230,000-pixel Clear Photo LCD Plus Screen
Size, image resolution and comfortable viewing are
prerequisites for the screen of any digital SLR,
allowing you to critically assess the composition,
quality and focus of every shot. The 2.5˝ screen
helps you see the big picture in even more detail.
230,000-pixel resolution combines with Clear
Photo LCD Plus technology to reproduce subtle
tones accurately.
The screen’s Anti- Reflective Coating is a glare-
reducing layer that assures a wide viewing angle,
even in daylight. It’s teamed with Clear Processing
technology that reproduces colors more vividly. The
screen’s superb resolution also makes it easy to zoom in, judge picture sharpness and review the
finest image details with greater clarity. Also has a Histogram, Highlights and Shadow Alert,
16-frame Index Display, Zoom button (up to 12x magnification), and a Navigation Display screen
that confirms camera settings and shooting information in large, easy-to-read text. Automatically
flips into vertical orientation if the camera is turned on its side to take a portrait picture.
Advanced White Balance
Show your true colors with choice of white balance settings. A choice of white
balance setting modes ensures natural-looking results under virtually any
lighting conditions… or use it as a creative tool to enhance or suggest a mood.
◆ Six preset white balance modes – sunlight,
shadow, cloudy, tungsten, fluorescent and
flash.
◆ Auto (AWB) mode approximates the
human eye to ensures dependable, fuss-free
results with any scene under a wide range
of lighting conditions.
◆ Customize your own white balance settings –
and if you’re not sure which setting is best,
WB bracketing captures the scene with three different WB settings, so you can pick the best one.
◆ Fine tuning an image’s color balance can turn a great picture into something really special.
Manual color temperature adjustment features 19-step magenta/green compensation to emulate
the effect of professional color correction filters.
Four Image Quality Modes
Has four image quality modes (RAW, RAW
+JPEG, Standard JPEG and Fine JPEG) and
three image sizes. Choosing the right mode
and image size is all about finding the right
balance between quality and capacity to suit
your needs. When you need to retain the
highest possible image quality however, the
RAW format records the image signal exactly
as it’s been captured by the CCD to create
‘digital negatives’. Since the RAW data is
uncompressed, there’s non of the compression
artifacts associated with JPEG images. RAW
files also provide the opportunity to process
the image further with minimum degradation.
Image Finishing Options
Image finishing options allow image settings
to be adjusted according to your personal
preference. Fine-tune your image or create
powerful, dramatic effects with eight (Standard,
Vivid, Portrait, Landscape, Evening Scene,
Night Scene, Monochrome and Adobe RGB)
image finishing modes that select optimum
white balance, contrast, color saturation and
sharpness to suit any scene. Whether you’re
looking for an ultra-sharp look or highly
saturated colors, it’s easy to choose the right
image finishing mode to match the vision
inside your head. You can also adjust individual
parameters to suit your personal preference.
