High-Speed and High-Picture-Quality Rolling Shutter-Type Back-Illuminated CMOS Image Sensors
The pixels of the 1" diagonal Sony chip are 3.76 μm square, but they have an astounding well depth of 50,000e. The high dynamic range is further assisted by firmware to help the back-lit chip minimize amplier glow for maximum imaging performance.
