Advanced new Bionz TM image processing engine
Another step forward in the evolution of image quality
The 's new Bionz image processing engine employs proprietary Sony technol-
ogy to capture colors with a rich sense of texture and depth, just as the human eye
perceives them. It begins with a cleaner signal because the Exmor CMOS sensor's
on-chip circuitry suppresses noise from the outset, and it packs the power needed
to process the sensor's massive data output with lightening speed. What's more,
Bionz refines the signal even more by screening out noise during both RAW data
conversion and image processing, faithfully reproducing the full range of detail,
contrast, and color that is captured by lenses.
The Exmor CMOS sensor and Bionz image processing engine work as a team to reduce noise and ensure crisp,
accurate reproduction of details captured by the lens.
