Canon is developing a new 1900 megapixel full-frame global shutter CMOS

Thank CTOnews.com netizens and independent photographers for their clue delivery! CTOnews.com December 18, Canon (Japan) announced the development of a new 1900-megapixel full-picture global shutter CMOS, which will be officially released in late January 2023, including LI5030SAC (color) / LI5030SAM (monochrome) / LI5030SAI (color / near infrared) / LI5030SAN (no microlens or color filter).

According to reports, the image sensor is designed for industrial and security applications, not the consumer camera field that we are familiar with, but it also shows that Canon has made progress in the global shutter field. this may turn to consumer-grade sensors at some point in the future.

CTOnews.com learned that, in addition to the global shutter function, it also provides high-speed imaging performance of approximately 1900 megapixels (5688 x 3334), 6.4 μ m pixel size and approximately 58 fps, enabling wide field of view and high resolution imaging. In addition, in order to solve the problem that the frame rate decreases when the number of pixels increases, it also supports high-speed readout and other features.

In addition to the color "LI5030SAC" and monochrome "LI5030SAM", the "LI5030SAI" for traffic surveillance cameras and industrial cameras can capture both visible and near infrared regions, while LI5030SAN has no microlenses or color filters and can be used in electron microscopes and X-ray detection cameras.
