X-Trans\u2122<\/sup> CMOS *1<\/sup> sensor developed by Fujifilm.
\n Nurtured the idea from film technology,
\n X-Trans controls moir\u00e9 while achieving high resolution without the use of a low-pass filter.

The 5th generation Stacked
layer back illuminated
X-Trans CMOS sensor<\/h3>\n
\n

Boasting a resolution of 26.16MP, the sensor uses a unique color filter array, synonymous to X-Trans CMOS sensors, to control moir\u00e9 and false color without the use of an optical low-pass filter. Thanks to the sensor, X-H2S has dramatically improved performance, including 40fps blackout-free burst shooting and significantly better AF during burst shooting. As for video, X-H2S can record 4K\/60P video without cropping and rolling-shutter effect is also greatly improved.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Stacked layer structure<\/h3>\n
\n

By placing the chips that process and read out signals on the back of the sensor surface, the reading speed is more than 4 times faster than the previous model and more than 30 times faster than the first-generation model. By taking advantage of the fast read speed, it is possible to process the focusing signal while processing the image for display. The stacked layer CMOS sensor is superior in speed and mobility<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

The 5th generation high resolution 40MP X-Trans CMOS sensor<\/h3>\n
\n

The high-resolution 40.2MP X-Trans CMOS 5 HR sensor has an enhanced image-processing algorithm that boosts resolution without compromising the signal-to-noise ratio, delivering astonishing image quality. And this sensor has an improved pixel structure, allowing light to be received more efficiently. ISO 125 \u2013 previously an extended sensitivity \u2013 is now available as standard sensitivity.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

About X-Trans CMOS<\/div>\n

Moir\u00e9 is controlled by a low-periodic color filter array
that replicates a highly random arrangement of silver
particles on the analog films and efficient color
interpolation from surrounding pixels.<\/h2>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
