sensoripinta

Sensoripinta refers to the area of a digital camera's image sensor that is exposed to light during photography. It is essentially the active surface that captures the image. The size of the sensoripinta is a crucial factor in determining image quality, particularly in low-light conditions and the ability to achieve a shallow depth of field. Larger sensoripintas can collect more light, leading to less noise and better detail, especially at higher ISO sensitivities. They also allow for the use of wider aperture lenses without overexposing the image, which can result in a more pronounced background blur, often referred to as bokeh.

The dimensions of the sensoripinta are typically standardized, with common sizes including full-frame (approximately 36mm x 24mm), APS-C (varying slightly by manufacturer but generally around 23.6mm x 15.6mm), and Micro Four Thirds (17.3mm x 13mm). Smaller sensoripintas are found in compact cameras and smartphones. The choice of sensoripinta size is often a trade-off between image quality, camera size, and cost. A larger sensoripinta generally leads to a larger and more expensive camera body, while smaller sensors allow for more compact and affordable devices. Understanding the sensoripinta is fundamental to appreciating the technical capabilities and limitations of digital imaging devices.
