The E4 is built around a 36mm square, 16 megapixel (4096 x 4096) full-frame CCD. Its 9 micron pixels provides excellent dynamic range and good resolution. The E4 offers enhanced quantum efficiency and improved image quality at higher spatial frequencies, lower noise for improved contrast in areas of high density, and anti-blooming protection to prevent image bleed from over exposure in regions near deep shadows. The image sensor with its large imaging area and relatively large pixel size provides the sensitivity, resolution and contrast necessary for various high quality image applications.
The E4 is available in both color and monochrome in a number of different packing options. Interface plates are available for a range of technical cameras and medium format camera bodies.
