dpreview: Fujifilm announces new generation of its Super CCD. The new Super CCD EXR offers three main changes from previous Fujifilm sensors:
The first two changes are somewhat connected, as shown in the picture below:
The third change is dual exposure HDR, similar to one appeared in CMOS sensors. The two exposures are combined together into a high dynamic range picture. With slower CCD readout speed I assume this is harder to implement, but it looks like Fujifilm engineers managed to to it.
Actually, dual exposure CCDs for security have been available for a long time. But Fujifilm is the first to expand the concept to consumer market.
- A new arrangement of the mosaic color filter
- A new method of pixel binning
- A double exposure HDR mode
