Design and ergonomics

Constructed from lightweight magnesium alloy, the A900 body has construction features rugged, lightweight magnesium alloy with moisture-resistant, rubber seals for buttons and dials, an anti-static coating to prevent dust adherence to the imager, and a high-endurance shutter rated for more than 100,000 release cycles.

The 3-inch, Xtra Fine LCD screen (921K) incorporates an easy-to-see display with a quick navigation menu to easily access common functions without interrupting your creative flow.

The ultra-bright viewfinder with 100% field of view coverage and 0.74x magnification features a high-power condenser lens, an eyepiece with high reflective-index glass, and a multi-layer, anti-reflective coating on every optical surface to deliver bright and accurate perspective.

Picture Quality

With the high-precision a (alpha) lenses, the A900 is designed to deliver ultra-fine picture quality with its 24.6-megapixel, 35 mm full-frame CMOS sensor – the highest resolution in its class.
Processing speeds over the A900 have been achieved with the use of Sony’s two BIONZ image processing engines which applies advanced noise reduction algorithms producing high quality and detailed images, even at a high ISO
The camera’s newly-developed autofocus system consists of nine wide-area sensors with 10 assist points for improved tracking of moving subjects.

An in camera preview function grabs a RAW preview image which is processed and displayed on the LCD screen to allows you to fine tune white balance, determine the best level and effect of dynamic range optimization, adjust exposure compensation and check histogram data, all before you actually take the picture.

Sony’s Dynamic Range Optimizer (DRO) has five levels of user-selectable correction as well as DRO bracketing for enhanced scene analysis and graduation optimization, whilst EV bracketing with ±2EV range makes it easy to create high dynamic range composite images.

Performance Features

Boasting the world’s highest resolution in its class, the A900 is power driven by two of Sony’s BIONZ image processing engines, allowing you to capture at incredible speeds. Instead of a single analog/digital convertor, the sensor uses over 6,000 on-chip, column-parallel A/D converters to convert analog signals to noise-resistant digital signals at the earliest possible stage.

The A900 is capable of shooting RAW image bursts of up to 12 images at 5 frames per second.
Shutter speeds (1/8000 to 30 sec) and  Thirteen creative styles can be selected to enhance images and then fine-tuned by customizing contrast, sharpness, zone matching and other parameters, while 3 user-programmable memories provide instant access to as many as 26 different mode settings.

The camera’s newly-developed, body-integrated SteadyShot Inside unit achieves an anti-shake effect equivalent to shutter speeds faster by 2.5 to 4 stops.

Technology Features

The camera’s newly-developed, body-integrated SteadyShot Inside unit achieves an anti-shake effect and incorporates a center dual cross sensor comprised of two horizontal and two vertical line sensors as well as a dedicated f/2.8 sensor are included to achieve greater precision.

A newly-designed mirror box features a unique parallel-link mirror mechanism that moves on two horizontal axes to accommodate both 100% viewfinder coverage and the body-integrated image stabilization system without increasing the camera’s size. The mirror box also has a new moving magnet actuator, a high-powered coreless motor for a faster shutter charge, and a magnet catcher to minimize mirror bounce and light refraction within the box.

The D-range Optimiser function adjusts the exposure and contrast of an image to counter the effects of high-contrast shooting conditions and with its  HDMI output and Photo TV HD mode, your creative output can be enjoyed on a compatible HD television.
