A candlelit dinner, a picnic at dusk, perfectly capture dimly-lit moments with the ST96. Featuring a 14.5M BSI (Back Side Illuminated) CMOS sensor, the ST96 offers impressive low-light performance. BSI CMOS sensors are twice as sensitive as conventional CMOS sensors, which means less light is needed for properly exposed photos. Pictures are sharper, with minimal noise & distortion. So even if a short-or moment-is lit only by the soft glow of a candle, with the ST96, your photos will be sure to match your memories.
