CMOS Sensors

Canon possesses unrivaled expertise in the design and manufacture

of CMOS imaging sensors. Canon introduced the world’s  rst CMOS

sensor for digital SLRs in 2000 with the EOS D30. With the introduction

of the EOS 5D Mark II in 2008, Canon was also  rst to market with Full

HD (1080p) video recording in a digital SLR. Canon not only designs,

develops and manufactures its own CMOS sensors, it designs, develops

and manufactures the steppers that manufacture the sensors.

For Canon XF300 and XF305, a new 1/3-inch type 3CMOS image sensor

system was created, with three native 1920 x 1080 CMOS image

sensors. By using each CMOS sensor to capture one of three primary

colors, the camera provides outstanding color accuracy, wide dynamic

range and low noise. Each sensor features 2.07 e ective megapixels

through which to capture Full HD video. The 1/3 inch sensors enable a

compact lens and body design, for greater mobility and quick shooting.

DIGIC DV III

Canon’s latest processing innovation for video, DIGIC DV III, dramatically

improves the signal processing speed of the XF300 and XF305. This new

DIGIC (Digital Imaging Integrated Circuit) unit supports Full HD signals

from CMOS sensors with high pixel density, providing crisper image

quality in video and still images.

The DIGIC DV III also allows for enhanced shading, lifelike tonal

gradations, new custom picture settings, lower power consumption,

and powers Genuine Canon Face Detection technology, with operations

such as face tracking a single subject through a crowd of people.
