Shooting movies underwater and in other low-light environments present special problems, especially in terms of brightness. The TX1’s “Exmor R” CMOS Sensor helps solve this by providing twice the sensitivity and half the noise of previous cameras equipped with other types of CMOS sensors. The end results are brighter, better looking movies even when shooting in dimly lit settings. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
