Sony Selp-18200 User manual

11x Zoom for a Wide Range of Subjects

The SELP18200 oers a wide 18mm to 200mm zoom range (35 mm equivalent: 27mm to 300mm):

wide to super telephoto in a single versatile lens. Expansive landscapes, dynamic snapshots with

normal human perspective, engaging medium-telephoto portraits with beautifully defocused

backgrounds, and super telephoto sports and wildlife … this exible lens comfortably covers all of

these subjects and situations.

Smooth, quiet focusing motor

The SELP18200 incorporates a newly developed internal linear motor that achieves an

exceptionally smooth and quiet focus operation. The result is an almost noiseless, smooth high-

speed focusing operation that is essential for high-quality movie capture.

Powered zoom for enhanced visual expression

In addition to variable speed zoom the SELP18200 supports constant speed zooming for slow,

smooth zoom eects that can enhance cinematographic expression but are dicult to achieve

manually. Zoom can be controlled directly from camcorders that feature built-in zoom levers,

as well as from the built-in zoom lever on the lens. Since power for the internal zoom drive

mechanism is supplied by the camera, no additional battery is required.

Optical SteadyShot image stabilization with Active Mode

Optical image stabilizations (Optical SteadyShot) allows for sharp images to be shot using

shutter speeds as much as 4 stops slower than would normally be possible when shooting hand-

held. Advantageous for general photography, but is particularly eective when combined

with the Anti Motion Blur and Hand-held Twilight modes provided in the NEX-series Handycam

camcorders, and it makes dicult indoor shots that retain the mood of the ambient lighting

possible without the need to increase ISO sensitivity, delivering top-quality images with minimal

noise.

Premium-class optical performance

This high-quality lens design features 5 aspheric surfaces and unreserved application of

advanced technology developed for the Alpha-series E-mount lenses in order to deliver images

of superlative clarity and presence. This compact lens aords rst-class contrast and sharpness

from the image center right out to the edges.

Circular aperture

The SELP18200 incorporates the same type of circular aperture that is a popular feature in other

Alpha E-mount lenses. This 7-blade aperture is designed to maintain a circular shape from

maximum aperture to two stops down, yielding smooth, natural defocusing with a beautiful

circular rendering of point light sources.

Metal exterior for a rened feel

The exterior of the lens barrel is made of aluminum alloy for elegant, high-quality appearance

and feel that ideally balance the unit’s compact dimensions. Metal construction also provides

maximum durability in combination with the metal lens mount.
