Revolutionary 12.24 megapixel
Sony Exmor
TM
CMOS sensor
New on-chip column A/D conversion and dual noise reduction
Developed by Sony, the all-new Exmor™ CMOS sensor realises the full creative
potential of the lens range. The extremely high resolution of 12.24 effective
megapixels ensures images that are rich in highlight and shadow detail. Proprietary
Sony noise reduction technologies are applied both before and after analogue-
to-digital conversion. Since conversion and noise reduction takes place on the
Exmor™ CMOS sensor itself, output signals are exceptionally clean, even at
sensitivity settings as high as ISO 3200. In addition, a 3-layer low pass fi lter preserves
high-resolution detail while suppressing moiré effects and colour artifacts.
Advanced new BIONZ
™
image processing engine
Another step forward in the evolution of image quality
The new BIONZ™ image processing engine inside the uses advanced Sony
technology to capture colours with even richer texture and depth – just as the
human eye perceives them. The BIONZ™ engine receives a clean digital signal
from the Exmor™ CMOS sensor’s on-chip circuitry that suppresses noise from the
outset, processing massive amounts of data from the sensor with lightning speed.
Signals are then refi ned even further by screening out noise during RAW data
conversion and image processing. This ensures faithful reproduction of the full
range of detail, contrast and colour that’s captured by every lens.
The Exmor™ CMOS sensor and BIONZ™ image processor work together, reducing noise and ensuring crisp,
accurate reproduction of details captured by the lens.
