Beauty: A new generation of high-sensitivity and low-noise performance
The CX3 uses the noise reduction algorithm introduced on the GR DIGITAL III. Performing noise reduction processing on the signal immediately after it is output by the back-illuminated CMOS sensor makes it possible to effectively reduce the noise that tends to occur in images shot at high-sensitivity settings. Fine details, smooth tonality, and vibrant colors are faithfully reproduced in clear, beautiful pictures. As a result, compared to past models, there has been a remarkable increase in image quality performance when shooting low-light scenes.

A wider range of expression, from dark places to bright ones.
Back-illuminated CMOS sensor + Smooth Imaging Engine IV
By combining the advanced image processing engine Smooth Imaging Engine IV with a back-illuminated CMOS sensor capable of capturing bright images in low light, the CX3 achieves greater picture quality when shooting dark indoor scenes and night scenes. In addition, on a customized circuit of the image processing engine, there is a pixel output interpolation algorithm which reduces whiteout even in high-contrast scenes, thereby reproducing the beauty actually there. With the CX3's advanced shooting functions, you can capture in the photograph the same excitement seen with your eyes.

No overexposure, no underexposure. Just the beauty as you feel it.
Dynamic range double shot
Overexposure and underexposure are suppressed by shooting, consecutively at high speed, two still images with different exposures, and then recording an image that combines the properly exposed portions of each. This is very effective in scenes that contain large differences in brightness. You can easily enjoy up to a maximum equivalent to 12 EV of dynamic range expansion by selecting from among the five settings: AUTO and four levels ranging from "Very Weak" to "Strong." On the CX3 it is also now possible to specify detailed settings for dynamic range expansion effects by choosing the tone range to be given priority using the following options: "Highlights," "Shadows," and "Off" (no priority). This makes it possible to faithfully record the beauty you felt the instant the photo was taken.

Natural colors for both subject and background.
Multi-pattern auto white balance
It can be difficult to define a white balance for scenes mixing different light sources, such as when shooting indoors with flash or when shooting scenes with both sunlight and shadow. Multi-pattern auto white balance sets the white balance to fit the light source of each segregated area, thereby surpassing the past method (an average setting for the entire image) to reproduce color tones closer to those seen by the eye.
