HAD Sensor Technology

The well-established innovations of CCD technology already
incorporated in Sony’s HDC-900 Series cameras and
HDW-F900 camcorders are also used in the HDW-750
camcorder. Inheriting Sony HAD sensor technology and
on-chip lens structure of the latest Power HAD™ sensors,
this imaging device is based on the 1920 x 1080 CIF
(Common Image Format). With its light collecting capability
dramatically improved, this 2/3-inch type, 2.2-million-pixel
FIT CCD, boosts the sensitivity to an industry-leading f10 at
2,000 Lux, thus enabling image capture in extremely low
light conditions. The signal-to-noise ratio is 54 dB and vertical
smear is less than –135
dB*. The cost effective
2/3-inch type 2.2
million-pixel IT CCD
used in the HDW-730
provides equivalent
performance as the FIT
version CCD excluding
the vertical smear level
which is provided at
–125 dB*.
*Typical numbers.
The compact and stylish body of the HDW-750/730
contains many technological innovations. They are
brought together to enable the creation of some of
the most versatile and outstanding
in-the-field visual experiences of the new century,
while ensuring durability and ease of use for the
challenging conditions of field shooting.
