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.7Maker product pagemi.com/uk/support/faq/details/KA-676361Read 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 main Sony IMX882 name remains. FAQ f/2.25 and UK spec f/2.2 for ultrawide aperture differ, so the new FAQ aperture is not substituted.
