High Speed Image Capture in 5 Megapixel Resolution
With an electronic global shutter and all pixel progressive reading at 120 fps, the Canon 3U5MGXS 5MP CMOS sensor offers fast image capture with sharp image quality. In a 2/3″ format, proprietary pixel designs with low power consumption and enhanced sensitivity further improve image quality. The 3U5MGXS CMOS sensor is an innovative solution where high performance is required in a small format.
New Pixel Design and Drive Technology
The pixels of the Canon 3U5MGXS CMOS sensor include a gathering structure which enables photons entering from wide incident angles to be re-directed into the photodiode which otherwise would be lost. The result is a CMOS image sensor with higher sensitivity, capable of capturing high quality images even in challenging low-light situations.
