Product Features

Ultra-high pixel count

These are ultra-high pixel products with 120 million and 250 million micropixels.
The 250-megapixel sensor achieves a resolution 125 times that of full HD, making it possible to capture distant subjects in high definition using only electronic zoom. It is also possible to read out only the area of interest at the speed of sound.

High-definition photography of distant objects possible using only electronic zoom

Intended Use

  • Display and component inspection
  • Wide-area surveillance for urban areas, ships, and sea rescue
  • Medical/chemical microscopes, etc.

Ultra-high sensitivity

This is a 35mm full size ultra-high sensitivity product.
Although the pixel size is large at 19um, low noise and high speed readout is possible.
Compared to conventional products, sensitivity in the near-infrared region has been improved, making it possible to capture unevenness up to 20 to 30 meters ahead, while also enabling simultaneous capture of images with ultra-high sensitivity and high speed.

Simultaneous ultra-high sensitivity shooting and high-speed shooting (98 fps)

Intended Use

  • Monitoring of natural disasters and important facilities such as airports and ports
  • Observing wildlife
  • Disaster prevention and crime prevention surveillance, etc.

HDR function

The product can recognize color differences even in low-light conditions of 0.08 lux, and its HDR function means it can handle environments with extreme differences in light and dark.
It is possible to capture high quality images even in situations with high contrast, and achieve a wide dynamic range while achieving low noise.

Shooting in low light conditions

Naked eye image

2MHDR sensor HDR image

Intended Use

  • Security cameras in environments with extreme light and dark differences
  • Wearable Camera
  • Drive and recorder cameras
  • Drones etc.
