Experience stunning low-light sensitivity with improved image clarity and drastically reduced

grain with Sony’s back-illuminated Exmor R

CMOS sensor. Designed for compact cameras and

camcorders, the Exmor R

CMOS sensor relocates the photo diodes above the support circuitry,

maximizing the light gathering area per pixel so you can shoot with better results in lower lighting

conditions.

noise, iAuto also suppresses mid- and upper-frequency noise, resulting in clearer, more enjoyable

sound.
