Abstract
A 1/1.8" 3M-pixel frame-transfer CCD (FT-CCD) with on-chip horizontal sub-sampling allows an additional preview mode where the image extraction rate is doubled (up to 60 images/s) while keeping the 25 MHz classic readout frequency. High-sensitivity video clips, fast autofocus, and auto-exposure is achieved on digital still cameras.
