The new series utilises advanced Sony technology and features four models: the XCG-CG240/C and XCG-CG510/C, available in either black and white or colour.

Rolling shutter systems are commonly used across industry, often causing distortion of the focal plane. The GS CMOS range features Sony’s Pregius, a global shutter pixel technology, which ensures undistorted, high picture quality even at very high speeds.

These cameras also feature Sony’s Exmor, a back-illuminated CMOS image sensor with improved sensitivity and noise reduction while radically realigning their fundamental pixel structure from front-illumination to back-illumination.

Exmor R retains all the advantages of CMOS image sensors such as low power consumption and high-speed operation.
