There are moments when the announcement of new technology excites us. Canon's unveiling of the world's highest resolution 4.1 billion pixel CMOS sensor in a 35mm full-frame format is one such moment.
This astonishing sensor boasts 24K resolution, opening new possibilities across a wide range of fields from professional photographers to video creators and industrial applications. In this article, we introduce the future of photographic expression and technological evolution brought by this sensor.
Unprecedented Detail Reproduction: The Astonishing 4.1 Billion Pixels
The figure of 4.1 billion pixels represents an overwhelming resolution equivalent to 198 times Full HD and 12 times 8K. With this sensor, you can crop any part of an image captured with a wide field of view while maintaining high resolution.
Realizing ultra-high pixel sensors, which were mainstream in medium format, in full-frame is also groundbreaking, offering the flexibility to utilize existing full-frame lenses. From portraits to landscape photography, it allows for the expression of beauty in every detail.
Ultra-Fast Signal Processing and New Video Experiences
Another highlight of this sensor is its achievement of ultra-fast signal readout of 3.28 billion pixels per second. This enables high-quality video shooting at 8 frames per second, and by utilizing the 4-pixel addition function, it is possible to shoot smooth videos at 100 million pixels and 24 frames per second while enhancing sensitivity.
This makes it possible to capture clear and beautiful video expressions even in low-light environments or scenes requiring high sensitivity.
Pioneering the Future of Photography and Videography
The 4.1 billion pixel sensor is a dream tool not only for industrial and medical fields but also for creators. This sensor, which combines high resolution and miniaturization, holds the potential to elevate modern photographic expression to the next dimension.
With this innovative technology, the day when anyone can come closer to capturing the 'ultimate shot' they envision is approaching.
