New lens shading and aberration

compensation

To ensure optimal shooting results, the a65

automatically compensates for the shading

and aberration characteristics of the

particular lens you mount. This includes

vignetting ( peripheral shading ) , lateral

chromatic aberration and optical distortion,

which can each be activated or deactivated

through the MENU. Embedded data within

the camera on supported A-mount lenses*

ensures optimal compensation every time.

* SAL1650, SAL1855, SAL55200-2 and SAL18250.

F irmware updates are planned to expand the number

of supported lenses.

Customizable buttons

To enhance shooting convenience, you can

customize three buttons to satisfy personal

preference, provide quick access to the most

frequently used functions, or better match

particular usage conditions. The AEL and ISO

buttons can be reassigned to activate any of

23 assignable functions, including Exposure

Compensation, Drive Mode, Flash Mode,

Focus Area, Face Detection, Smile Shutter, ISO

Sensitivity and Metering Mode.
