In digital photography, the '''image sensor format''' is the shape and size of the [[image sensor]].
 
The image sensor format of a digital camera determines the angle of view of a particular lens when used with a particular sensor. Because the image sensors in many digital cameras are smaller than the 24 mm × 36 mm image area of full-frame [[35 mm format|35 mm]] cameras, a lens of a given focal length gives a narrower field of view in such cameras.
Line 51:
:<math>\frac{P Q_e t}{\sqrt{P Q_e t}} = \sqrt{P Q_e t}</math>.
 
Apart from the quantum efficiency it depends on the incident photon flux and the exposure time, which is equivalent to the [[Exposure (photography)|exposure]] and the sensor area; since the exposure is the integration time multiplied with the image plane [[illuminance]], and illuminance is the [[luminous flux]] per unit area. Thus for equal exposures, the signal to noise ratios of two different size sensors of equal quantum efficiency and pixel count will (for a given final image size) be in proportion to the square root of the sensor area (or the linear scale factor of the sensor). If the exposure is constrained by the need to achieve some required [[depth of field]] (with the same shutter speed) then the exposures will be in inverse relation to the sensor area, producing the interesting result that if depth of field is a constraint, image shot noise is not dependent on sensor area. For identical f-number lenses the signal to noise ratio increases as square root of the pixel area, or linearly with pixel pitch. As typical f-numbers for lenses for cell phones and DSLR are in the same range {{f/|1.5-f/|2}} it is interesting to compare performance of cameras with small and big sensors. A good 2018 cell phone camera with a typical pixel size of 1.1 μm (Samsung A8) would have about 3 times worse SNR due to shot noise than a 3.7 μm pixel interchangeable lens camera (Panasonic G85) and 5 times worse than a 6 μm full frame camera (Sony A7 III). Taking into consideration the dynamic range makes the difference even more prominent. As such the trend of increasing the number of "megapixels" in cell phone cameras during last 10 years was caused rather by marketing strategy to sell "more megapixels" than by attempts to improve image quality.

===Dynamic range===
 
Dynamic range is the ratio of the largest and smallest recordable signal, the smallest being typically defined by the 'noise floor'. In the image sensor literature, the noise floor is taken as the readout noise, so <math> DR = Q_\text{max} / \sigma_\text{readout}</math><ref>{{cite journalbook|last=Kavusi|first=Sam|author2=El Gamal, Abbas|title=Sensors and Camera Systems for Scientific, Industrial, and Digital Photography Applications V |chapter=Quantitative study of high-dynamic-range image sensor architectures |editor3-first=Ricardo J|editor3-last=Motta|editor2-first=Nitin|editor2-last=Sampat|editor1-first=Morley M|editor1-last=Blouke|title=Quantitative Study of High Dynamic Range Image Sensor Architectures|journal=Proc.

== Sensor size and diffraction ==
Line 81:
In considering the effect of sensor size, and its effect on the final image, the different magnification required to obtain the same size image for viewing must be accounted for, resulting in an additional scale factor of <math>1/{C}</math> where <math>{C}</math> is the relative crop factor, making the overall scale factor <math>1 / (N C)</math>. Considering the three cases above:
 
For the 'same picture' conditions, same angle of view, subject distance and depth of field, then the Ff-numbers are in the ratio <math>1/C</math>, so the scale factor for the diffraction MTF is 1, leading to the conclusion that the diffraction MTF at a given depth of field is independent of sensor size.
 
In both the 'same photometric exposure' and 'same lens' conditions, the Ff-number is not changed, and thus the spatial cutoff and resultant MTF on the sensor is unchanged, leaving the MTF in the viewed image to be scaled as the magnification, or inversely as the crop factor.
 
== Sensor format and lens size ==
 
It might be expected that lenses appropriate for a range of sensor sizes could be produced by simply scaling the same designs in proportion to the crop factor.<ref>{{cite journal|last=Ozaktas|first=Haldun M|author2=Urey, Hakan|author3=Lohmann, Adolf W.|title=Scaling of diffractive and refractive lenses for optical computing and interconnections|journal=Applied Optics|year=1994|volume=33|issue=17|pages=3782–3789|doi=10.1364/AO.33.003782|pmid=20885771|bibcode=1994ApOpt..33.3782O|hdl=11693/13640|s2cid=1384331 |hdl-access=free}}</ref> Such an exercise would in theory produce a lens with the same Ff-number and angle of view, with a size proportional to the sensor crop factor. In practice, simple scaling of lens designs is not always achievable, due to factors such as the non-scalability of [[manufacturing tolerance]], structural integrity of glass lenses of different sizes and available manufacturing techniques and costs. Moreover, to maintain the same absolute amount of information in an image (which can be measured as the [[space -bandwidth product]]<ref>{{cite book|last=Goodman|first=Joseph W|title=Introduction to Fourier optics, 3rd edition|year=2005|publisher=Roberts and Company|___location=Greenwood Village, Colorado|isbn=978-0-9747077-2-3|pages=26}}</ref>) the lens for a smaller sensor requires a greater resolving power. The development of the '[[Tessar]]' lens is discussed by Nasse,<ref>{{cite web|last=Nasse |first=H.

Its performance is 'better than the best 35&nbsp;mm lenses – but only for a very small image'.
 
In summary, as sensor size reduces, the accompanying lens designs will change, often quite radically, to take advantage of manufacturing techniques made available due to the reduced size. The functionality of such lenses can also take advantage of these, with extreme zoom ranges becoming possible. These lenses are often very large in relation to sensor size, but with a small sensor can be fitted into a compact package.
 
Small body means small lens and means small sensor, so to keep [[smartphone]]s slim and light, the smartphone manufacturers use a tiny sensor usually less than the 1/2.3" used in most [[bridge camera]]s. At one time only [[Nokia 808 PureView]] used a 1/1.2" sensor, almost three timestwice the size of a 1/2.3" sensor. Bigger sensors have the advantage of better image quality, but with improvements in sensor technology, smaller sensors can achieve the feats of earlier larger sensors. These improvements in sensor technology allow smartphone manufacturers to use image sensors as small as 1/4" without sacrificing too much image quality compared to budget point & shoot cameras.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.gizmag.com/camera-sensor-size-guide/26684/ |title=Camera sensor size: Why does it matter and exactly how big are they? |author=Simon Crisp |date=21 March 2013 |access-date=January 29, 2014}}</ref>

Semiconductor image sensors can suffer from shading effects at large apertures and at the periphery of the image field, due to the geometry of the light cone projected from the exit pupil of the lens to a point, or pixel, on the sensor surface. The effects are discussed in detail by Catrysse and Wandell.<ref name=Catrysse>{{cite book|last=Catrysse |first=Peter B. |author2=Wandell, Brian A. |editor-first1=Nitin |editor-first2=Jeffrey M. |editor-first3=Ricardo J. |editor-last1=Sampat |editor-last2=Dicarlo |editor-last3=Motta |title=Digital Photography |chapter=Roadmap for CMOS image sensors: Moore meets Planck and Sommerfeld |volume=5678 |issue=1 |pages=1 |doi=10.1117/12.592483 |year=2005 |chapter-url=http://www.imageval.com/public/Papers/EI%205678-01%20Peter%20Catrysse.pdf |access-date=29 January 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150113004959/http://www.imageval.com/public/Papers/EI%205678-01%20Peter%20Catrysse.pdf |archive-date=13 January 2015 |bibcode=2005SPIE.5678....1C |citeseerx=10.1.1.80.1320 |s2cid=7068027 }}</ref>

In the context of this discussion the most important result from the above is that to ensure a full transfer of light energy between two coupled optical systems such as the lens' exit pupil to a pixel's photoreceptor the [[Etendue|geometrical extent]] (also known as etendue or light throughput) of the objective lens / pixel system must be smaller than or equal to the geometrical extent of the microlens / photoreceptor system. The geometrical extent of the objective lens / pixel system is given by
:<math display="block"> G_\mathrm{pixelobjective} \simeq \frac{w_\mathrm{photoreceptorpixel}}{2{(f/\#)}_\mathrm{microlensobjective}}\,, </math>,
where {{math|<var>''w''<sub>photoreceptorpixel</sub></var>}} is the width of the photoreceptorpixel and {{math|<var>(''f''/#)<sub>microlensobjective</sub></var>}} is the f-number of the microlensobjective lens. The geometrical extent of the microlens / photoreceptor system is given by
:<math display="block"> G_\mathrm{pixel} \ge G_\mathrm{objective}</math>, therefore <math>simeq \frac{w_\mathrm{photoreceptor}}{2{(f/\#)}_\mathrm{microlens}} \ge,, \frac{w_\mathrm{pixel}}{{(f/\#)}_\mathrm{objective}}</math>
where {{math|''w''<sub>photoreceptor</sub>}} is the width of the photoreceptor and {{math|(''f''/#)<sub>microlens</sub>}} is the f-number of the microlens.
 
:In order to avoid shading, <math display="inline"> G_\mathrm{objectivepixel} \simeqge \frac{w_\mathrm{pixel}}{2{(f/\#)}_ G_\mathrm{objective}} ,</math>, therefore
:<math display="block"> \frac{w_\mathrm{photoreceptor}}{{(f/\#)}_\mathrm{microlens}} \lege \frac{w_\mathrm{pixel}}{{(f/\#)}_\mathrm{objective} \times \mathit{ff}.</math>
 
whereIf {{math|<var>1= ''w''<sub>pixelphotoreceptor</sub>< /var>}} is the width of the pixel and {{math|<var>(f/#)''w''<sub>objectivepixel</sub></var> {{=}} is''ff''}}, the f-numberlinear fill factor of the objective lens., The geometrical extent ofthen the microlens / photoreceptor system is givencondition bybecomes
<math display="block"> {(f/\#)}_\mathrm{microlens} \le {(f/\#)}_\mathrm{objective} \times \mathit{ff}\,.</math>
 
Thus if shading is to be avoided the f-number of the microlens must be smaller than the f-number of the taking lens by at least a factor equal to the linear fill factor of the pixel. The f-number of the microlens is determined ultimately by the width of the pixel and its height above the silicon, which determines its focal length. In turn, this is determined by the height of the metallisation layers, also known as the 'stack height'. For a given stack height, the f-number of the microlenses will increase as pixel size reduces, and thus the objective lens f-number at which shading occurs will tend to increase. {{efn|This effect has been observed in practice, as recorded in the DxOmark article 'F-stop blues'<ref>{{cite web|last=DxOmark|title=F-stop blues|url=http://www.dxomark.com/index.php/Publications/DxOMark-Insights/F-stop-blues|work=DxOMark Insights|access-date=29 January 2012|archive-date=25 January 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120125061948/http://www.dxomark.com/index.php/Publications/DxOMark-Insights/F-stop-blues|url-status=dead}}</ref>}}

In order to maintain pixel counts smaller sensors will tend to have smaller pixels, while at the same time smaller objective lens f-numbers are required to maximise the amount of light projected on the sensor. To combat the effect discussed above, smaller format pixels include engineering design features to allow the reduction in f-number of their microlenses. These may include simplified pixel designs which require less metallisation, 'light pipes' built within the pixel to bring its apparent surface closer to the microlens and '[[Back-illuminated sensor|back side illumination]]' in which the wafer is thinned to expose the rear of the photodetectors and the microlens layer is placed directly on that surface, rather than the front side with its wiring layers. {{efn|The relative effectiveness of these stratagems is discussed by [[Aptina]] in some detail.<ref>{{cite web|last=Aptina Imaging Corporation|title=An Objective Look at FSI and BSI|url=http://www.eetrend.com/files-eetrend/newproduct/201101/100029156-17249-fsi-bsi-whitepaper.pdf|work=Aptina Technology White Paper|access-date=29 January 2012}}</ref>}}
where {{math|<var>w<sub>photoreceptor</sub></var>}} is the width of the photoreceptor and {{math|<var>(f/#)<sub>microlens</sub></var>}} is the f-number of the microlens.
 
So to avoid shading,
 
:<math> G_\mathrm{pixel} \ge G_\mathrm{objective}</math>, therefore <math> \frac{w_\mathrm{photoreceptor}}{{(f/\#)}_\mathrm{microlens}} \ge \frac{w_\mathrm{pixel}}{{(f/\#)}_\mathrm{objective}}</math>
 
If {{math|<var>w<sub>photoreceptor</sub></var> / <var>w<sub>pixel</sub></var> {{=}} <var>ff</var>}}, the linear fill factor of the lens, then the condition becomes
 
:<math> {(f/\#)}_\mathrm{microlens} \le {(f/\#)}_\mathrm{objective} \times \mathit{ff}</math>
 
Thus if shading is to be avoided the f-number of the microlens must be smaller than the f-number of the taking lens by at least a factor equal to the linear fill factor of the pixel. The f-number of the microlens is determined ultimately by the width of the pixel and its height above the silicon, which determines its focal length. In turn, this is determined by the height of the metallisation layers, also known as the 'stack height'. For a given stack height, the f-number of the microlenses will increase as pixel size reduces, and thus the objective lens f-number at which shading occurs will tend to increase.

==Common image sensor formats==
Line 134 ⟶ 127:
Some professional DSLRs, [[Sony SLT camera|SLTs]] and [[mirrorless camera]]s use ''[[full-frame DSLR|full-frame]]'' sensors, equivalent to the size of a frame of 35&nbsp;mm film.
 
Most consumer-level DSLRs, SLTs and mirrorless cameras use relatively large sensors, either somewhat under the size of a frame of [[Advanced Photo System|APS]]-C film, with a [[crop factor]] of 1.5–1.6; or 30% smaller than that, with a crop factor of 2.0 (this is the [[Four Thirds System]], adopted by [[OlympusOM System]] (company)formerly [[Olympus Corporation|Olympus]]) and [[Panasonic Corporation|Panasonic]]).
 
{{As of|2013|11}}, there iswas only one mirrorless model equipped with a very small sensor, more typical of compact cameras: the [[Pentax Q#Pentax Q7|Pentax Q7]], with a 1/1.7" sensor (4.55 crop factor). See section [[#SensorsImage equippingsensor compactformat#Smaller digital cameras and camera-phonessensors|Sensors§ equippingSmaller Compact digital cameras and camera-phonessensors]] section below.
 
Many different terms are used in marketing to describe DSLR/SLT/mirrorless sensor formats, including the following:
* {{val|860&nbsp;mm²|u=mm2}} area [[Full-frame digital SLR]] format, with sensor dimensions nearly equal to those of [[135 film|35 mm film]] (36×24&nbsp;mm) from [[Pentax_K-1|Pentax]], [[Panasonic Corporation|Panasonic]], [[Leica Camera|Leica]], [[Nikon]], [[Canon (company)|Canon]], [[Sony]] and announced in 2018 by [[Sigma Corporation|Sigma]] as upcoming.

* 43&nbsp;mm² area 1/1.7" [[Pentax Q#Pentax Q7|Pentax Q7]] (4.55 crop factor)
 
Obsolescent and out-of-production sensor sizes include:
* {{val|548&nbsp;mm²|u=mm2}} area [[Leica Camera|Leica]]'s [[Leica M8|M8 and M8.2]] sensor (crop factor 1.33). ''Current M-series sensors are effectively full-frame (crop factor 1.0).''
* {{val|548&nbsp;mm²|u=mm2}} area [[Canon (company)|Canon]]'s [[Advanced Photo System|APS-H]] format for high-speed pro-level DSLRs (crop factor 1.3). ''Current 1D/5D-series sensors are effectively full-frame (crop factor 1.0).''
* {{val|548|u=mm2}} area [[APS-H]] format for the high-end mirrorless SD Quattro H from [[Sigma Corporation|Sigma]] (crop factor 1.35)

* {{val|286&nbsp;mm²|u=mm2}} area [[Foveon X3]] format used in [[Sigma Corporation|Sigma]] SD-series DSLRs and DP-series mirrorless (crop factor 1.7). ''Later models such as the [[Sigma SD1|SD1]], [[Sigma DP2 Merrill|DP2 Merrill]] and most of the Quattro series use a crop factor 1.5 Foveon sensor; the even more recent Quattro H mirrorless uses an APS-H Foveon sensor with a 1.35 crop factor.''

* {{val|30|u=mm2}} area 1/2.3" original [[Pentax Q]] (5.6 crop factor). ''Current Q-series cameras have a crop factor of 4.55.''
 
When [[full-frame digital SLR|full-frame]] sensors were first introduced, production costs could exceed twenty times the cost of an APS-C sensor. Only twenty full-frame sensors can be produced on an {{convert|8|in|cm}} [[silicon wafer]], which would fit 100 or more APS-C sensors, and there is a significant reduction in [[Semiconductor device fabrication|yield]] due to the large area for contaminants per component. Additionally, full frame sensor fabrication originally required three separate exposures during each step of the [[photolithography]] stageprocess, which requires separate masks and quality control steps. Canon selected the intermediate [[APS-H]] size, since it was at the time the largest that could be patterned with a single mask, helping to control production costs and manage yields.<ref name=canon-wp>{{cite press release

Most sensors are made for camera phones, compact digital cameras, and bridge cameras. Most image sensors equipping compact cameras have an [[aspect ratio (image)|aspect ratio]] of 4:3. This matches the aspect ratio of the popular [[SVGA]], [[XGA]], and [[SXGA]] display resolutions at the time of the first digital cameras, allowing images to be displayed on usual [[computer monitor|monitor]]s without cropping.
 
{{As of|2010|12}} most compact digital cameras used small 1/2.3" sensors. Such cameras include Canon PowershotPowerShot SX230 IS, FujiFujifilm Finepix Z90 and Nikon Coolpix S9100. Some older [[digital camera]]s (mostly from 2005–2010) used even smaller 1/2.5" sensors: these include Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS62, Canon PowershotPowerShot SX120 IS, [[Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S700]], and Casio Exilim EX-Z80.
 
As of 2018 high-end compact cameras using one inch sensors that have nearly four times the area of those equipping common compacts include Canon PowerShot G-series (G3 X to G9 X), Sony DSC -RX100 series, Panasonic Lumix TZ100DC-TZ200 and Panasonic DMC-LX15. Canon has an APS-C sensor on its top model PowerShot G1 X Mark III.
 
[[File:Sensor sizes area.svg|thumb|400px|right|For many years until Sep. 2011 a gap existed between compact digital and DSLR camera sensor sizes. The x axis is a discrete set of sensor format sizes used in digital cameras, not a linear measurement axis.]] Finally, Sony has the DSC-RX1 and DSC-RX1R cameras in their lineup, which have a full-frame sensor usually only used in professional DSLRs, SLTs and MILCs.

Due to the size constraints of powerful zoom objectives, most current [[bridge camera]]s have 1/2.3" sensors, as small as those used in common more compact cameras. As lens sizes are proportional to the image sensor size, smaller sensors enable large zoom amounts with moderate size lenses. In 2011 the high-end [[Fujifilm X-S1]] was equipped with a much larger 2/3" sensor. In 2013–2014, both Sony ([[Cyber-shot DSC-RX10]]) and Panasonic ([[Lumix DMC-FZ1000]]) produced bridge cameras with 1" sensors.

Sensor sizes are expressed in inches notation because at the time of the popularization of digital image sensors they were used to replace [[video camera tube]]s. The common 1" outside diameter circular video camera tubes have a rectangular photo sensitive area about {{val|16&nbsp;|u=mm}} on the diagonal, so a digital sensor with a {{val|16&nbsp;|u=mm}} diagonal size is a 1" video tube equivalent. The name of a 1" digital sensor should more accurately be read as "one inch video camera tube equivalent" sensor. Current digital image sensor size descriptors are the video camera tube equivalency size, not the actual size of the sensor. For example, a 1" sensor has a diagonal measurement of {{val|16&nbsp;|u=mm}}.<ref>{{cite web|title=Making (some) sense out of sensor sizes|url=http://www.dpreview.com/news/2002/10/7/sensorsizes|work=Digital Photography Review|publisher=Digital Photography Review|access-date=29 June 2012|author=Staff|date=7 October 2002}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Image Sensor Format |url=http://www.spotimaging.com/resources/glossary/image-sensor-format.php |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150326051941/http://www.spotimaging.com/resources/glossary/image-sensor-format.php |url-status=dead |archive-date=26 March 2015 |work=Imaging Glossary Terms and Definitions |publisher=SPOT IMAGING SOLUTIONS |access-date=3 June 2015 |author=Staff }}</ref>

Sizes are often expressed as a fraction of an inch, with a one in the numerator, and a decimal number in the denominator. For example, 1/2.5 converts to 2/5 as a [[Fraction (mathematics)#Simple.2C common.2C or vulgar fractionsfraction|simple fraction]], or 0.4 as a decimal number. This "inch" system gives a result approximately 1.5 times the length of the diagonal of the sensor. This "[[optical format]]" measure goes back to the way image sizes of video cameras used until the late 1980s were expressed, referring to the outside diameter of the glass envelope of the [[video camera tube]]. [[David Pogue]] of ''The New York Times'' states that "the actual sensor size is much smaller than what the camera companies publish – about one-third smaller." For example, a camera advertising a 1/2.7" sensor does not have a sensor with a diagonal of {{cvt|0.37"|in|mm}}; instead, the diagonal is closer to {{cvt|0.26"|in|mm}}.<ref>{{cite news| url=https://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/23/technology/personaltech/23pogue.html?ref=technology | work=The New York Times | first=David | last=Pogue | title=Small Cameras With Big Sensors, and How to Compare Them | date=2010-12-22}}</ref><ref name="dpreview-sensor-sizes" /><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.dpreview.com/articles/8095816568/sensorsizes|title=Making (Some) sense out of sensor sizes}}</ref> Instead of "formats", these sensor sizes are often called ''types'', as in "1/2-inch-type CCD."
