Figure 9.46 SONY F65.
The F65 was designed with 8K resolution and
16-bit linear raw recording F65’s sensor has 20
million photosites. Where the typical 4K sensor
has half as many green photosites as there are
4K output pixels, the F65’s sensor has a one-to-
one ratio: one green photosite for each pixel of
the 4K output image. This “Zig-Zag” sampling
structure results in greater image sharpness,
including full 4K resolution on the all-important
green channel.
The F65’s raw les contain full bandwidth data
from the camera’s sensor, and 16-bit linear record-
ing equates to 65,536 ...
