1/2.88” ”Exmor R” CMOS Sensor
1/2.88” "Exmor R" CMOS image sensor
with ClearVid™ array: delivers bright,
vivid, spectacularly detailed video
footage, as well as 12 megapixel still
images. With 6 megapixel (effective)
video resolution, the image sensor
actually captures video at four times
the density of high definition resolution
resulting in a sharper and more
detailed 1920 x 1080 HD picture. In
addition, "Exmor R" technology
captures images with high resolution
and high sensitivity, while the
advanced Sony® BIONZ™ image
processor improves camera response
time and screens out noise to help
ensure that the signal from each pixel is
as pure as possible.

Back-illuminated "Exmor R" CMOS
sensor:
Experience stunning low-light sensitivity
with improved image clarity and
drastically reduced grain with the newly
developed, back-illuminated "Exmor R"
sensor. Designed for compact cameras
and camcorders, the "Exmor R" 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.
