Canon, the incredible video shot in the dark - DDay.it - ??Digital Day

Into In March of this year Canon introduced a new prototype of Full Frame CMOS sensor capable of capturing images in total darkness, achieved by using a new type of web and a new reading system can significantly reduce video noise. Taking pictures in low light or anything is doable, but take a video taking the noise content is much more difficult.

Into Canon, in collaboration with another Japanese company that deals with video footage, was able to demonstrate the potential of its sensor recording the night flight of the fireflies of the island of Yaeyama, Ishigaki island of the Japanese archipelago. The recovery was carried out without the car lights, and with natural lighting of only 0.01 Lux, a light level is so low that even the human eye struggles to distinguish objects. sensor Canon has not only taken the starry sky and fireflies, but also manages to show the movement of the vegetation. The recovery was made for purpose “teaching”, or to enable us to study the behavior of these nocturnal animals, but soon the sensor may also be used for other purposes, the recovery astronomical surveillance.
