About SBIG STF-4070 Camera

Experience the superior imaging capabilities of the STF-4070C Color Bayer Camera, a high-quality and advanced piece of photography equipment. This innovative camera is available in monochrome (STF-4070M) and two color models, providing versatility to meet your specific photography needs.

The color models come with either the standard Bayer Color Filter Pattern (STF-4070C) or the higher sensitivity TRUESENSE Sparse Color Filter Pattern (STF-4070SC). The latter offers a 2x improvement in light sensitivity compared to a standard color Bayer part, making it an excellent choice for low-light conditions.

At the heart of the STF-4070C is the KAI-04070 Image Sensor, a 4-megapixel CCD in a 4/3" (21.4 mm diagonal) optical format. This sophisticated sensor is based on the TRUESENSE 7.4 micron Interline Transfer CCD Platform, renowned for its broad dynamic range and exceptional imaging performance.

The STF-4070C also boasts a flexible readout architecture, high frame rate, and low noise architecture, ensuring you capture clear, detailed images every time. Its excellent smear performance further enhances the quality of your photos.

Designed with speed and efficiency in mind, the STF-4070C offers fast full-frame download and maximum cooling in an STF-sized package. A high-resolution 4-megapixel 16-bit frame can be downloaded in about 1/4 second using the dual-channel readout mode, all while maintaining exceptionally low read noise.

Primarily developed for the OEM market and microscopy applications, the STF-4070C is perfect for situations where short exposures and high frame rates are more desirable than a mechanical shutter for automatic dark frames. Its robust cooling design allows for a cooling delta greater than -50 degrees C, making it a durable and reliable choice for professional photographers.

In conclusion, the STF-4070C Color Bayer Camera is a sophisticated, high-quality, and advanced tool that delivers exceptional imaging performance, making it a valuable addition to your photography gear.
