Panasonic develops a new 2.1-Mpixel CMOS image sensor that can capture 3D videos with a single lens, traditionally, two lenses and two CMOS sensors are required to take 3D video.
In the newly developed Sensor For taking 3D video we have to make sure that the two types of lights come to different pixels of the CMOS sensor. The new design is composed of a structure that combines a lenticular lens and mirror elements (digital micro lenses: DMLs) made by forming patterns whose size is smaller than light wavelength with a lithography technology.
lights separated by the lenticular lens are collected with the DMLs to increase their intensities. Then, they enter the pixels of the CMOS sensor. With this structure, the light entering the left eye and the light entering the right eye do not interfere with each other much. Therefore, the intensities of the lights become high enough.
The received signals obtained in this way are processed via line memory to create 3D video.
Panasonic is expected to start mass production of sensors from 2014.
The Panasonic 3D 1compact camera announced today, The Lumix 3D 1 camera comes with Dual Lens for 3D Video and Still image shooting, It also features Dual 12 Megapixel CMOS Sensor, 4X optical zoom on both the lens, Optical Image Stabilizer, ISO range 10-3200, High Sensitivity (ISO1600 – 6400), high speed consecutive shooting at 8 fps in full resolution. The 3D1 have 3.5 touchscreen, expected Price of Panasonic 3D 1 is $499.99.
New DMC-GH2 boasts its world’s fastest level Light Speed AF of approx. 0.1 second to capture the subject, it features 16.05 Megapixels Venus Engine FHD image processor, the Dust reduction system ( in camera as Supersonic wave filter), intuitive touch-control shooting, full HD 1920×1080, ISO sensitivity MAX 12800 and Burst speed is 40 frames/sec (4M), H: 5 frames/sec, M: 3 frames/sec (with Live View), L: 2 frames/sec (with Live View).
