Sony announced new 12.4 million pixel 1/1.7" BSI CMOS sensor

Sony today announced the  commercialization of newly developed CMOS sensor “IMX144CQJ”, the sensor size is 1/1.7″  and captures images at 12.4 million pixel resolution, the sensor can be used for still digital camera and camcorders for recording high quality videos.

Major features of the new 12.4 million pixel 1/1.7″ BSI CMOS sensor – translated by google

  • Is compared available / old conventional back-illuminated type sensors  (1/2.3, 1/1.7), the new sensor features low noise, high sensitivity and high dynamic.
  • Compared with our conventional product (12.4 million pixel 1/2.3 type effect), which is aimed at 1.3-fold increase in sensitivity, and increased saturation signal level of 1.9 times.
  • Could be obtained for the dependence of F value and a good wide angle of incidence characteristics significantly better than the conventional back-illuminated type 1/2.3, degrees of freedom of optical design is improved, also available in high magnification zoom lens and a lighter .
  • High-definition video and high-speed shooting in the 4K2K 60frame / s it becomes possible, while the next generation corresponds to the 4K format image sensor for civilian use.
  • By the new converter circuit configuration of the column-parallel A / D, designed to operate with low power consumption and a decrease of approximately 34% compared to our conventional product.

Canon to improve Phase Detect AF system

New patent news coming from patent hunter Japanese blog egami, the latest technology aims at improving speed and accuracy of the current AF system used by Canon, So we may see some more advance AF system based PRO and Entry level DSLR camera in near future.

Patent details translated by google

  • Patent Publication No. 2010-60771
    • 2010.3.18 Release Date
    • 2008.9.3 filing date
  • Existing techniques
    • Patent Publication No. H11-281878
    • Different lengths of baseline using the AF sensor
      • F2.8 sensor: high focusing accuracy
      • Can detect a wide range of defocus amount (the amount of deviation of focus): F5.6 sensor
      • After roughly at F5.6 sensor is focused, making focus F2.8 sensor with high accuracy
    • Drawback
      • Depending on the timing F2.8 sensor is not used, focusing accuracy is not good
  • Canon’s patent
    • Different lengths of baseline using the AF sensor
      • Because of the defocus amount detection range is limited, must search as duplicate detection range
      • By using the F5.6 sensor, within a limit not exceeding the amount of defocus, it is possible to focus lens is driven at high speed
    • If the Live View
      • The image plane using phase difference AF
      • Focus lens is driven at high speed
        • Using the central pixel: When low-intensity
        • Using the neighboring pixels: When high-intensity

for a quick reminder Canon recently announced 650D and Canon EOS M with hybrid AF system
