Abstract :
CCD imagers for professional digital still cameras (DSCs) require in general high resolution. However for some applications, high sensitivity and high speed are more important and can be exchanged for resolution. A concept is presented in which the resolution of the imager will be decreased in binning mode while the sensitivity and frame rates are increased. For color CCDs, the RGB Bayer color filter pattern should be preserved after charge binning without discarding charge. The first results of this new concept are presented
