18-megapixel APS-C-size CMOS sensor & DIGIC 4+ image processor
The 18-megapixel APS-C-size CMOS image sensor captures abundant light and detail, which is processed by the powerful DIGIC 4+ image processor to produce images with highly accurate colors, rich contrasts and gradations, and minimal noise even in low light conditions. Compared to smaller smartphone sensors, the large CMOS sensor makes it easier to achieve the shallow depth-of-field necessary for creating a beautiful background blur.
