Even Light Dispersion to the Camera’s CCD
Another stellar attribute that sets CAMEDIA E-10 SLR’s lens apart
from nearly all others is the lens’ ability to send light (photons)
via concave elements frontally to the CCD sensor rather than at
an oblique angle as with most lens and CCD designs. This al-
lows the individual sensor pixels to receive light straight on from
the lens and the benefit is greater detail in shadow and highlight
areas of the image. Cameras without this special lens-to-CCD
alignment are subject to a loss in resolution and a greater likeli-
hood of blooming, (where the sensor cannot show detail in spec-
tral highlights, over-saturates and creates artifacts in the high-
light areas of the image).
