Capturing Perfection

In camcorders and digital cameras, it’s the image sensor which captures light coming from the lens. With Sony HD Handycam® camcorders, that sensor is the ClearVid CMOS Sensor™ with ‘Exmor’-derived Technology. This sensor delivers impressive video and still image capture, high speed signal processing and low imaging noise, resulting in excellent low-light sensitivity as well as smear-free clarity. Combined with the BIONZ™ Imaging Processor, this greatly improves features such as Dual Rec, Smooth Slow Rec, Face Detection, Auto Focus, Auto Exposure, Auto Colour Control and makes the D-Range Optimiser possible.
