HANDYCAM CMOS Sensor

CMOS (complimentary metal oxide semiconductor) sensors are used in place of

 

the CCD (charge coupled device) in some models, and have unique properties

 

that enable high picture quality, precise colour reproduction and finer tonal

 

gradation. Fast transfer, increased sensitivity to light, lower power consumption

 

as well as a wide dynamic range and smear-free images are key advantages of

 

CMOS technology.
