BSI Sensor

This entry was posted in Equipment on October 16, 2017 by Art Whitton

A BSI (Back Side Illuminated) Sensor is a fairly new technology that allows for a more efficient design of digital camera sensors.  In simple terms, the sensors work better in low light due to having wiring behind the sensor. This also helps with the transfer speed of data.

Also known as a BI (Back Illuminated) Sensor.
