Sony made a smartphone camera sensor that shoots video at 1,000fps
Sony has developed an image sensor for smartphones that's capable of shooting video at an astounding 1,000 frames per second (fps).
The sensor takes the conventional two-layered image sensor concept and stacks a third layer of dynamic random access memory, giving the sensor faster readout speeds that can prevent distortion during high-speed photography and record videos at a significantly higher frame rate.
According to Sony, the sensor can read a single image of 19.3 million pixels in just 1/120 of a second – a figure the electronics giant claims is four times faster than the IMX318 sensor it announced almost exactly a year ago.
This not only means less blurring and stretching when photographing moving objects, but also comes in handy when recording 1080p video at up to 1,000fps.
