Last year we finally saw a global shutter inside a full-frame professional stills camera (the Sony A9 III) – but 2025 is already looking promising for even deeper sensor research.
The International Solid-State Circuit Conference (ISSCC), an event held in California showcasing some of the latest research on circuits and sensors, doesn’t happen until February 2025, but the event’s published schedule has offered a glimpse at the research that will be shared during the conference. One of the surprises on the list? A three-layer stacked sensor capable of switching from a traditional rolling shutter to a global shutter.
