Technology, made for each other
The image sensor is the heart of your digital video camera, the chip that converts light into electronic data.
CCD sensors were the standard until recently, when CMOS started becoming the technology of choice for higher-quality cameras.
Now the era of High Definition video has well and truly arrived, Sony has taken sensor evolution to a stage further with the ClearVid CMOS Sensor featuring Exmor technology.
The ClearVid CMOS Sensor has a higher resolution and better sensitivity, with a wider dynamic range.
The new Exmor processing technology adds a column A/D converter to the sensor, realising ultra high resolution with greater sensitivity and lower noise.
Another advantage of the ClearVid CMOS Sensor is that it runs cooler and needs less power, so we can fit more electronics on fewer chips, in smaller and more battery efficient cameras.
