CMOS is a type of integrated circuit chip manufacturing process that can be used for many things, including digital camera image sensors.hey also require less power to use than do CCD sensors, which makes them popular in mobile devices. The drawback to CMOS sensors when used in cameras is that they tend to create photographs with a lot of image noise when used in lower light situations, though this is not always the case.
Video footage captured by the camera outfitted with the approximately 250-megapixel CMOS sensor achieved a level of resolution that was approximately 125 times that of Full HD (1,920 x 1,080 pixels) video and approximately 30 times that of 4K (3,840 x 2,160 pixels) video.
