Dramatically improved BIONZ
®
image processing engine
Blazing fast BIONZ
®
processor has been
optimized to bring out the full potential
of the new Exmor APS HD CMOS image
sensor. Utilizing powerful algorithms, it
transforms RAW data from the sensor
into beautiful images with extremely
accurate color and rich tonal gradations
throughout the entire dynamic range.
Even during ultra-high-speed continuous
shooting or Full HD movie shooting, it
effortlessly handles the vast information
generated by the 24.3 megapixel
CMOS sensor as well as other processor
intensive tasks such as advanced digital
compositing. Moreover, RAW image noise
reduction complements dual noise
reduction in the sensor to deliver images
of superb quality with extremely low noise.
New 24.3 megapixel Exmor™ APS HD CMOS sensor
Enjoy breathtaking image quality in
almost any lighting, thanks to Sony’s
new proprietary Exmor APS HD CMOS
sensor with astounding 24.3 megapixel
resolution. The sensor’s extra-large
surface area raises sensitivity in low-light
conditions and strengthens background
defocusing effects so you can add
depth and drama to virtually any scene.
Furthermore, dual noise reduction
significantly reduces noise during analog
and digital signal conversion to ensure
smooth, crystal-clear reproduction
even in low-light conditions. Discover
the dramatic difference that rich detail,
accurate color and smooth tonal
gradations can make.
Indulge in sophisticated imaging technology
High sensitivity and broad ISO range
Virtually any lighting conditions can be
mastered with NEX-7 thanks to extremely
high ISO sensitivity and wide-ranging
settings from 100 to 16000 — a range
of 7 1/3 EV steps. Even when shooting
in dimly lit conditions without a flash or
tripod, extremely low-noise, high-quality
image capturing and processing ensure
outstanding results. You can capture the
mood of a candlelit wedding ceremony
with a high sensitivity setting.
Use a low sensitivity setting and slow
shutter speed to photograph the flow
of a river. Or clearly shoot athletes
competing indoors with a high sensitivity
setting and high shutter speed. In regular
shooting conditions, the Auto ISO mode
can automatically choose the optimal
ISO setting between ISO 100 and 1600
or between any range you choose to
customize for creative results.

The APS-C size sensor is more than 13x larger than
1/2.4-size sensors, 3.1x larger than 13.2 x 8.8 mm sensors,
and 1.6x larger than MICRO Four Thirds™ sensors,
resulting in much higher image quality and sensitivity.
