Sony SAL18200 - DT 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 Aspherical ED High Magnification Zoom... User manual

Internal Focusing System
Internal lens elements move when focusing, so the overall length does not change -- creating a
lens that focuses more quickly and doesn’t change balance.
Aspherical Lens Elements
Three aspherical elements correct visual aberrations more eectively across the entire zoom
range and help reduce weight.
ED (Extra-low Dispersion) Glass
Two ED Glass lenses minimize are and greatly reduce chromatic aberration, giving you sharp,
clear shots even at full telephoto extension.
Circular Aperture
Because aperture blades form a near circle at the wide openings used for low-light shots, spot-
light sources have a pleasing circular defocused eect.
Advisory when using DT lenses with full-frame (35mm equivalent) DSLR cameras.
Sony α (alpha) lenses with the Digital Technology (DT) designation are ideal for use on APS-C size
DSLR cameras and are not recommended for use with full frame DSLR camera bodies (such as
the DSLR-A900). Although DT lenses can be used with full frame cameras, they can only realize a
maximum of 11MP image size (when using the DSLR-A900), and are not guaranteed to provide
accurate Auto Exposure performance.
This is a perfect all-in-one standard zoom lens that brings you closer to
your subject for use with Sony® α (alpha) DSLR cameras. With
superior all-in-one lens performance for everyday shooting, its 35mm-
equivalent range of 27mm wide-angle to 300mm telephoto excels at
capturing faraway subjects, sports events, dramatic landscapes and
intimate close-up views.
