About RTUNE
RTUNE starts very early in the imaging process and through efficient colour management reduces the amount of data to be processed by the camera. White balance, so crucial for a natural colour rendition, starts directly behind the pickup device and not, as is normal with other models, in the digital section. The result is a considerable reduction in noise.

Additionally, RTUNE prevents the so-called "cross talk" effect, in which the signal of a pixel can be distorted by neighbouring ones.This results in fewer digital artifacts and an increased purity of colour. Because the subsequent digitalizing of the signal means less computing time for the elimination of aberrations, another source of interference with colour reproduction is reduced.

The RTUNE processor works with 16 bits and so achieves an extremely differentiated, practically continuously variable conversion of grays and colours . By executing many complex image processing algorithms, the RTUNE processor accelerates the computing speed and makes the customary intermediate storage of images superfluous. Because the image files are built up more efficiently thanks to RTUNE and contain less superfluous interference, the JPEG files finally saved turn out much smaller. Correspondingly more images fit onto every costly memory card.
