Today, Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corporation officially unveiled its all-new Sony LYTIA 610 64MP 1/2-type CMOS image sensor with an RB2x2 On-Chip Lens (OCL) pixel structure. The mass-production shipment is scheduled for the end of June 2026.

Sony LYTIA 610 64MP 1/2-type CMOS image sensor

This is the industry’s first product with this RB2x2 OCL pixel structure to be produced. By combining the RB2x2 OCL pixel structure with dedicated array conversion processing optimised for this structure, this sensor offers more than 20% improvement in spatial resolution compared to Sony’s conventional product with the same pixel size, allowing telephoto cameras to capture subjects with fine detail.

The improved readout speed also enables 4K 120 fps video recording for the first time on Sony’s 1/2-type sensor.

Key highlights:

High resolution and AF performance achieved through the industry’s first RB2x2 OCL pixel structure and dedicated algorithm.
Sony’s first 1/2-type sensor to support 4K 120 fps video recording, making it ideal for capturing high-contrast scenes.
