The world’s first 1/2-type 3CMOS sensor for 4K broadcast.

The Z280’s new Exmor R™ imaging device has been specifically designed for 4K broadcast acquisition. Its three 1/2-type Exmor R™ CMOS produce a deep depth of field with superior image quality. Separate image sensors independently capture red, blue and green light, contributing to high resolution, high sensitivity of F12 (59.94p) and wide dynamic range. An advanced LSI function (with intelligent noise reduction and enhanced detail reproduction) delivers extraordinarily realistic 4K 4:2:2 10-bit images. Even if you’re creating HD footage, your footage will capture the level of detail and image texture that HD sensors simply can’t match.
