The advertised 1.6 µm 4-in-1 super pixel is binned pitch, not native pixel pitch, so it is not used. The stored pixel sizes are native pitches from the support FAQ.6Maker product pagemi.com/uk/support/faq/details/KA-676346Read 8 October 2026Camera Q1/Q4/Q7/Q8/Q11 explicitly supply the ultrawide sensor family, optical format, native pixel pitches, fields of view and fixed ultrawide focus. Main AF type is unspecified, so no autofocus technology is guessed. The existing Light Fusion 600 maker name remains. FAQ SmartSens SC532HS and reviewer Sony-family identification conflict, so no underlying main sensor part replaces it.
