Changing lenses in a DSLR can allow dust to enter the camera -- so to keep the CCD imager cleaner for better pictures, the DSLR-A350
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.
Auto Pop-Up Flash
The camera flash automatically pops up and fires when needed, to help first-time DSLR photographers shoot more effectively. Auto
Pop-up works in Auto mode and some scene selection modes; Flash is cancelled in Landscape, Sport or Sunset modes and in “Flash
Off” position on the Exposure Mode dial.
Eye-Start Autofocus System
It begins precision autofocus adjustments the moment you raise the camera to your eye -- so unlike some DSLR cameras that don’t
start focusing until the shutter button is half-pressed, the Sony DSLR-A350 never slows down your ability to catch fast action.
9-Point Center Cross AF Sensor
A fast focus motor and improved focus control help bring images into sharp definition more quickly, with predictive focus control that
automatically calculates the position of a fast-moving subject.
Scene Selection Modes
Along with auto exposure, the DSLR-A350 gives you scene selection modes to optimize camera performance for Portrait, Landscape,
Macro, Sports, Sunset and Night Portrait/Night View situations.
Creative Style Settings
To express your creativity and personal taste, you can adjust contrast, saturation and sharpness settings for any of 8 finishing styles --
including Standard, Vivid, Portrait, Landscape, Night View, Sunset, B & W and Adobe RGB modes.
Index and Slide Show Display
To quickly review your photos, the DSLR-A350 can display 4, 9 or 25-frame index views -- or present automatic slide shows with fade-in/
fade-out effect.
High-Resolution Thumbnails for PhotoTV HD Viewing

The DSLR-A350 automatically creates high-resolution thumbnail images for viewing on Sony’s BRAVIA® HDTV in optimized PhotoTV HD

hand using the “Fn“(Function) button and controller button to adjust Flash mode, Autofocus mode, White Balance, Metering mode, AF
area and D-Range Optimizer.
