Class-leading 14.2-megapixel resolution

for beautiful photos with

ultra-ne image detail

The 350 is equipped wit h the class-lead ing resolution of
an exclusive Sony-developed A PS-C type CCD image
sensor with 14.2 eective megapixel s. Measuring 23.5 x
15.7mm, the sensor boasts approximate ly 15 times the
surface area of the 1/2.5-type sensor s employed in most
compact digital cameras, and combin es the triple advan-
tages of high resolution, hi gh sensitivity, and a ric h tonal
range. With this kind of imag ing power you can capture
details as ne as a single eyel ash, and skin tones that g low
with natural, true-to- life color.
To signicantly reduce the a nalog signal noise that
tends to increase at high pixel d ensities, CCD performance
also benets from So ny’s long experience in semiconductor
and microprocessor manu facturing, and utilizes a dvanced
new peripheral circuit desi gn technologies. As a resu lt, the
350 oers an unrivaled comb ination of ultra-hig h resolu-
tion and low-noise ima ge clarity, as well as faster, more
responsive shooting.

Powerful BIONZ image processing engine

for vibrant colors with rich tonal detail

The 350 is equipped wit h a BIONZ image processi ng en-
gine that uses advanced So ny technologies to achieve
truly vibrant color reproducti on with rich tonality an d
depth. Powerful enough to instant ly process the massive
amount of image data captured by the 35 0's 14.2-
megapixel sensor, it reduces no ise, optimizes dynamic
range, and adjusts white ba lance to assure exceptional ly
faithful color reproduction w ith excellent shadow and
highlight detail. Thanks to B IONZ, even the delicate hue
and texture of individual ros e petals can be rendered
with breathtaking accuracy, bringi ng photos to life with
a realism that will amaze an d delight you.
