The digital output from the image
sensor’s AD converter is processed
in 16-bit form by the front-end LSI

output as compressed or uncom­pressed 14-bit RAW files. The result
is smoother, more natural gradations

This high-resolution Quad-VGA OLED
Tru-Finder has approximately 3.69
million dots for fine detail and high
contrast for accurate black reproduc­tion. High luminance brings view­finder brightness closer to that of the
actual scene. The high quality of the
viewfinder image and features like
focus magnification make it easier to
achieve perfect focus with just about
any subject in any situation.

images are captured with true-to­life details, texture, and color, with
minimal moiré and color artifacts.

Even the atmosphere of the subject

Pixel Shift Multi Shooting an ideal
technology for archival images of
art, architecture, and more.

NEW

The Pixel Shift Multi Shooting principle

In a “normal” digital capture each pixel represents just
one color: red, green, or blue. The surrounding pixels
are used to supply the necessary extra information
required to interpolate and reproduce the remaining
two primary colors. Pixel Shift Multi Shooting, however,
composites four pixel-shifted images so that each of the
sensor’s 42.4 million effective pixels can represent red,
green, and blue values simultaneously. Extra interpola­tion becomes unnecessary so the data from the sensor
can be directly synthesized to recreate the final colors.
The result is unprecedented reproduction accuracy and
detail for true-to-life textures. Images shot using this
feature can be processed using the dedicated PC soft­ware from Sony running on a personal computer.

•

ports USB charging via the camera

The VG-C3EM Vertical Grip makes shooting in vertical
orientation just as efficient and comfortable as horizontal
orientation with a full complement of essential controls, in­cluding a duplicate Multi-Selector. The grip shape is identi­cal to the grip on the camera body, so no hold adjustment is
required. The VG-C3EM features a magnesium alloy exterior
for high rigidity and durability, and the design is dust and
moisture resistant

The VG-C3EM not only provides space for two NP-FZ100
rechargeable battery packs, significantly extending operat­ing time, but it also allows the batteries to be charged via
the camera USB connector so the batteries don’t have to be
removed from the grip.

This Multi Battery Adaptor Kit houses up to four NP-FZ100
