Canon has developed a CMOS image sensor with 410MP (24,592 x 16,704 pixels), which is the largest number of pixels ever achieved in a 35mm full-frame sensor. The sensor features a resolution equivalent to 24K and has a 35mm full-frame format. It employs a back-illuminated stacked formation in which the pixel segment and signal processing segment are interlayered and also includes a redesigned circuitry pattern. As a result, the sensor is capable of achieving a super-high readout speed of 3,280MP/s, delivering video at 8fps. The sensor features a four-pixel binning function that virtually treats four adjoining pixels as one, thereby improving sensitivity and making it possible to capture brighter images. When this function is in use, the sensor can capture 100MP video at 24fps.
