Lifelike depth and detail 24.2 effective megapixel*1 full-frame Exmor RS CMOS image sensor offers more than just speed In addition to being the first*2 full-frame CMOS image sensor to feature a stacked structure and integral memory designed for speed, this 24.2 effective megapixel sensor includes a number of features that contribute to outstanding image quality. High sensitivity, a back-illuminated configuration, gapless on-chip lens architecture, and other Sony innovations deliver stunning images in a wide range of photographic situations. The standard ISO range is ISO 100~51200, expandable to ISO 50~204800*3 with minimum noise.

Still images, electronic shutter: ISO 100 ~ 25600 expandable to ISO 50~25600. Movie recording: ISO 100 ~ 51200 expandable to ISO 100~102400. Stacked structure Pixel area Stacked layer Enhanced BIONZ X image processing engine An enhanced BIONZ X image-processing engine includes refined processing algorithms that reduce noise in the medium-to-high sensitivity range while enhancing subjective resolution and image quality. Advancements in Sony's detail reproduction technology improve detail rendering for lifelike reproduction of textures, while corresponding innovations in area-specific noise reduction maintain high resolution in dark areas and reduce noise in images shot at high ISO. Uncompromised image quality is ensured whether shooting single images or high-speed bursts. 14-bit RAW output 14-bit RAW format is supported, and is a good choice in situations where the sensor's wide dynamic range and fine gradation reproduction will benefit the images being captured. 14-bit RAW output is even available when shooting single images using the electronic shutter. 16-bit image processing 8bits JPEG Image Sensor 14bits Newly developed high-speed front-end LSI 14bits RAW 20 FE 100-400mm F4.5-5.6 GM OSS (SEL100400GM), 1/1000 sec., F5.6, ISO 200
