Sounds like a combination pressure plate/CCD sensor to me. Warren <<<From: Cotty <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Asahi patent for hybrid digital/film SLR
This is a line from the Patent grant: The CCD 41 of an image sensor has a photodetector 41C consisting of a plurality of photodiodes. An area of the photodetector 41C, shown by diagonal hatching, is a light-receiving area, on which the object image is formed. A size of the light-receiving area coincides with one frame of the photographic film F, namely, the exposure area of the photographic film F. Therefore, the object image obtained by the CCD 41 is identical to the object image recorded on the photographic film F. Excuse me, but doesn't that sound like a 24X36mm CCD???
