PhaseOne P 65+ - 4 Sensor+ in Detail

4.0 Sensor+ in detail
Sensor+ is a new technology developed by Phase One based on the
technology called binning, in practice the easiest way to explain this, is
that you should regard your back as 2 digital backs.
Default is 60.5 megapixels; each pixel is sized 6x6 Micron. - Select Sensor+
and your P 65+ is 15 megapixels, each pixel sized 12x12 Micron.
Whereas 60.5 megapixel is capable of most assignments, you might a
higher ISO, or faster capture rate in some situations, instead of bringing
another digital back, you can select Sensor+ via menu>Capture
Setup>Sensor+
What is binning?
Binning is the technology behind patented Sensor+; this technology
assembles the pixels on the CCD in a newly invented pattern creating
the unique behavior that provides you a full-frame 15 megapixel back,
with a signicant increase in the sensitivity of the CCD and a noise ratio
unseen on DSL cameras.
Binning allows you to do capture in 25% of the default resolution, the
quality is still in top after processing in Capture One 4.5 PRO or later
versions as the software is prepared to work on this specic type of
le.
Why use Sensor+
Not only will Sensor+ les be smaller in size and the workow faster,
but Sensor+ also provides a higher light sensitivity this changes the ISO
scale from default 50-800 to Sensor+ scale 200-3200 ISO.
The noise you will nd in any digital capture is also affected by Sensor+,
noise origins in the single cell of the CCD, there will always be a small
uncertainty of the value in the single cell, after binning the noise ratio
will be signicant lower, providing the possibility of higher ISO whilst
the noise is kept low.
At the same time the back will increase the capture rate signicantly - P
65+ can do up to 1.4 capture per second.
