43rumors.com has just reported on a new announcement by Panasonic that it has developed a new 8K, 36mp, global shutter, Organic-Photoconductive-Film CMOS Image Sensor with some fascinating features which may change how we use the camera, and hopefully will be incorporated in their next Micro Four Thirds cameras – perhaps the Panasonic GH6?<\/p>\n
Feature list of the new sensor:<\/h2>\n
8K, 60p, 36 mp global shutter<\/h3>\n
\n
we have been waiting for an electronic global shutter for a LONG time!<\/li>\n
this will eliminate rolling shutter distortions<\/strong> with moving subjects<\/li>\n
it should allow use of electronic flash with the electronic shutter at all shutter speeds<\/strong> eliminating the need for power sapping HSS\/Super FP flash mode at fast shutter speeds when you want to freeze motion or use flash with a wide aperture for shallow DOF in bright sunlight<\/li>\n
it should allow 36mp 60fps burst modes<\/strong> (yes the Olympus OM-D E-M1 II can already to 60 fps RAW at 20mp and that is probably all we need but 36mp might be useful for some)<\/li>\n
it should allow 8K 60p ultra high resolution video<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
New “In-Pixel” pixel level sensor based noise cancellation<\/h3>\n
\n
presumably, this will give us lower image noise at high ISO<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
In-pixel gain switching technology<\/h3>\n
\n
Ultra high dynamic range mode<\/strong> \/ High saturation mode<\/li>\n
you will now be able to image indoors using available light without blowing the outdoor lit scenes in the window<\/li>\n
skies will no longer be blown out when you need shadow detail<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Voltage controlled sensitivity modulation technology<\/h3>\n
\n
this is what enables the global shutter functionality apparently<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Electrical ND Filter Technology<\/h3>\n
\n
this allows the user to effectively “steplessly dial down” the ISO as if using any ND filter down to ND32<\/li>\n
fantastic for those ultra wide angle and fisheye lenses which prevent use of external filters – now you can get those longer shutter speeds for flowing water shots with these lenses as well as negating the need to buy these filters for your other lenses<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
