Imaging Technology

Excellence on the inside Sony is one of the few manufacturers that develops all key components used in digital still cameras, such as lenses, image sensors and imaging processors. Since the pre-digital era, the company has leveraged its accumulated experience in imaging technology to become a leading manufacturer of devices for both amateurs and professionals. In the digital SLR field, Sony’s acquisition of Konica Minolta technologies has made possible further advancements now found in all Sony digital SLRs and Cyber-shot cameras.

Imaging Processor

Realise your camera’s true potential — maximising the “eye-to-brain” connection Imaging processors — the “brains” of digital cameras — transform the vast amount of data produced by the sensor into beautiful images. In order to get the most out of your camera, the connection between “eye” and “brain” must be seamless, which is why Sony places such importance on developing its own imaging processors.

“BIONZ” imaging processor

All Sony Cyber-shot cameras feature a high-speed “BIONZ” imaging processor that delivers brilliant, lifelike images. High resolution, natural colour, smooth tonal gradation, minimal noise and fast processing — a potent combination for photos as rich and vivid as your imagination.
