While the new technology is certainly exciting, it still has some hurdles to overcome. Researchers have developed a new pixel design that has the potential to revolutionize dynamic range in cameras. The design is referred to as a “self-resetting pixel.” Currently, when a pixel hits the limit of its exposure (becomes saturated), it clips, placing a hard upper limit on highlight capture. This is what we see as clipped highlights in images. The new pixel design obviates this problem by resetting itself. In other words, when a pixel reaches its well capacity, it resets and begins counting again. […] Click here to view original web page at fstoppers.com Curated by Theresa Wysocki See Full Bio
