Sharper images with less jagged edges. Instead of the square photodiodes of conventional digital cameras, the Super CCD has octagonal photodiodes and pixels in an interwoven pattern that dramatically increases the effective resolution. This ingenious approach allows for larger photodiodes which ensure higher light-collecting efficiency. That's why the Super CCD increases sensitivity and offers a much wider dynamic range. The result is more natural, lifelike color in every picture.
Separate controls are available for color temperature, gradation and sharpness settings.
