Sony a100 read this first manual


















They excel at creating CD players, televisions, game consoles and have also made their mark in the compact digital camera category. But SLR cameras have always been more mechanical than electronic, which is why you can buy a year-old film SLR at a flea market that still works perfectly fine today. My concern as digital SLR cameras become more and more like gadgets is that in 6 months they'll be completely obsolete.

Put another way: if you like to be cutting edge, then this is probably the right camera for you. If you're more of a photography traditionalist, then take a look at the other options out there. Since it has so many different features, there is a button or dial somewhere to control every single one. This is why I don't recommend this particular camera for the techno-phobic. If you feel pretty comfortable around your computer and using any modern remote control then the Sony should be easy to figure out.

The Sony is a compact digital SLR it doesn't have any display on the top of the camera and feels quite solid in the hand. It's not as small as the Canon Rebel XT , and the contoured grip is easy to hold onto. I didn't ever have the feeling that the camera would drop out of my hand. The camera features two prominent control dials: one sets the camera shooting modes aperture priority, shutter priority, manual mode, etc.

One main dial on the front of the camera is responsible for changing aperture and shutter speed, while the directional control pad on the back is for using the menus and changing other camera settings. There are times when you want to quickly adjust your shutter speed to match your photographic subject. Let's say that you're photographing your dog in the backyard. He starts out sitting, but winds up running around.

You start off with a slow shutter speed, but need a faster one to capture the action. Spinning the control dial takes a bit of effort and it not quite as smooth as it is on other digital SLRs.

One of the nice features of the DSLR-A is its function control dial not the same as the control dial I just mentioned. While many digital SLR cameras have individual buttons for each feature, the Sony just has a function dial. All you have to do is turn the dial to the setting that you want to change, push the "Fn" button in the middle of the dial and then make your adjustments. This is much easier than many of the menu-intensive setups on other cameras.

I found myself "customizing" settings much more often than I would with a camera where these settings were hard to access. Back in the good old days as I like to say you didn't have a lot of control over the colors that your camera captured - if you wanted to change the color tone in the photo, you had to edit the photo after the fact.

Now you can adjust the color in your images as you take the photo to account for different lighting conditions. For example, the A includes different individual settings for standard, vivid, portrait, landscape, sunset, night and black and white. Each setting is designed to maximize the color tone for the subject and lighting. Just a word of caution - if you do get carried away setting color modes, make sure you check the setting before you start taking photos.

The sunset mode in particular affects the colors during daylight, and you don't want all of your vacations photos to have a tint to them.

In direct sunlight the Sony has a tendency to wash out adjustments can be made to correct this but it works incredibly well in shade and partial overcast situations. Put another way: the autofocus starting is not specifically associated with your eyes.

There are small sensors at the base of the viewfinder that detect whenever ANY object is in front of them. This means that anything can set off the autofocus: your hand, arm, head or chest. With a camera strap around my neck I tend to hold cameras in front of my chest when I'm not taking photos and I could hear the camera focusing constantly.

The good news is that the autofocus does engage immediately when you bring the camera up to your face - great for spontaneous shots. The bad news is that the autofocus is not quite as precise as on some other digital SLRs I've used, and tends to search around a bit before it settles on a subject.
