]]> The QHY268C Photo is a 26mpx APS-C cooled back-illuminated, colour CMOS camera based on the Sony IMX571 sensor with native 16-bit A/D and 3.76um pixels.

The Sony IMX571 sensor has on-chip 16-bit A/D for highest resolution of greyscale. The output is real 16-bits with 65536 levels. Compared to 12-bit and 14-bit A/D, 16-bits provides higher sampling resolution. At high gain, the camera yields close to 1e-/ADU with no sample error and low read noise.

High Dynamic Range, 75ke full well Vivid colours

Great full well brings vivid colours. One benefit of the back-illuminated CMOS structure is improved full well capacity. This is particularly helpful for sensors with small pixels. Even with unbinned, the 3.76um pixels of the QHY268C Photo has a superb full well capacity of 75ke-
