This is one of the first LYTIA lineup with the LOFIC structure.

It also features the new HDR technology along with the logic circuit technology that helps in reducing the random noise in dark areas of images.

These technologies offer high-quality imaging by reducing highlight blowout in bright areas and noise in dark areas, compared to conventional products.

Additionally, it also offers HDR video recording at 4K, 60 fps, which has become more popular recently, while maintaining low power consumption with optimized circuit design.

With these enhanced features, the new sensor provides high-quality imaging that looks like what is seen by the human eye and clear capturing of both highlights and shadows in high-contrast scenes, such as night views with bright LED lights bringing new value to the shooting experience on mobile cameras.

In recent years, the need for camera functionality that can provide stable, high-quality imaging in various environments continues to grow along with the popularity of video production and live streaming. Consequently, image sensors require expanded dynamic range and improved power efficiency.

Therefore, the new sensor combines the expanded saturation capacity enabled by the LOFIC structure with the new HDR and circuit technology. It achieves a dynamic range of 100 dB with a single exposure, enabling imaging with rich gradations from highlights to shadows and minimal noise. Compared to multi-exposure HDR technologies, this design help suppresses motion blur and flicker when shooting moving subjects, since the synthesizing process is not needed. Also, Sony's proprietary circuit design reduces power consumption, enabling high-quality video recording at 4K, 60 fps even when shooting in HDR.
