Image Sensor
The camcorder features a single 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) EXMOR R CMOS sensor. The R designation indicates it is a backlit sensor, which means that the circuitry that normally is in the front of the sensor and can limit the light reaching the sensor's photosites, has been moved to the back of the sensor. this has the effect of increasing the sensor's low light performance.
