*CCD=CCD image sensor

 

"Super HAD CCD II" is a trademark of Sony Corporation.The "Super HAD CCD II" is a version of Sony's high performance CCD HAD (Hole-Accumulation Diode) sensor with realized sensitivity (typical) of 1000mV or more per 1µm2 (Color: F5.6/ BW: F8 in 1 s accumulation equivalent.)

 

"EXview HAD CCD II" is a trademark of Sony Corporation. The "EXview HAD CCD II" is a CCD image sensor that realizes sensitivity (typical) of 1000mV or more per 1µm2 (Color: F5.6/ BW: F8 in 1 s accumulation equivalent) and improves light efficiency by including near infrared light region as a basic structure of Sony's "EXview HAD CCD".
