Canon presents 410 megapixel sensor: Record for 35mm full-frame sensor

[11:29 Sun,26.January 2025   by Thomas Richter]    

Canon has announced the development of a new CMOS sensor with a resolution of 410 megapixels, which would set a new record for the pixel count of a 35mm full-frame sensor. It is intended for specialized applications in the fields of surveillance, medicine, and industrial manufacturing.

The sensor&s resolution of 24K (24,592 x 16,704 pixels or sensels) is 198 times that of Full HD and 12 times that of 8K – this allows any section of the image to be enlarged by the user without loss of resolution. To handle the extremely high data rates involved at these resolutions – especially with video – the newly developed sensor uses a back-illuminated, stacked design in which the pixel and signal processing segments are layered, as well as a redesigned circuit pattern. As a result, the sensor, which is being developed in RGB and monochrome versions, achieves an extremely high data readout speed of 3,280 megapixels per second and delivers 24K video recordings at 8 frames per second.

The monochrome version of the sensor also features a "four-pixel binning" function, in which four adjacent pixels are virtually treated as one pixel. This improves light sensitivity and allows brighter images to be captured. With this function, which halves the resolution, the sensor can capture 100-megapixel videos at a quadrupled frame rate of 24 frames per second.

Other CMOS sensors with an extremely high pixel count use medium or even larger formats – Canon&s new development, however, relies on the 35mm full-frame format and can therefore be used with existing FF lenses.

Canon has extensive experience in developing special sensors with extremely high pixel counts and high light sensitivity, as well as SPAD sensors that can detect even faint light traces in dark areas, such as in the MS-500 camera, which can capture individual photons and thus enables clear color video recordings even at only 0.001 lux ambient light.

Canon uses this know-how to achieve sufficient light sensitivity despite the high resolution and small pixels. For example, in 2023 Canon announced the development of a 4K sensor with 148 dB dynamic range (24 stops), which, however, was explicitly designed for surveillance purposes and not for filmmakers.
