Sony’s proprietary back-illuminated pixel structure enables a reduction in pixel size to 2.74 μm while still maintaining excellent image quality compared to previous Sony Pregius generations. The first model in the Atlas10 camera series has the 24.5 MP Sony Pregius S IMX530 global shutter 4/3” image sensor, which offers up to 51 frames per second at full resolution. Subsequent models include the 20.4 MP featuring the IMX531 and the 16.2 MP featuring the IMX532. The 24.5 MP Atlas10 is now available for order.
