Optimally designed for resolution, the 7 micron array of 2336 x 1728 pixels, powers the 730 fps. This sensor array benefits from improved quantum efficiency from its predecessor to reduce noise without sacrificing light sensitivity or bit depth. This makes the camera well-suited for situations requiring light weight and superb resolving power, such as component testing and microscope imaging. Special opportunities for the NX5 exist in broadcast and cinema, when the small size combined with the 4.0 megapixel resolution provides high definition imaging formats. Two cameras can be used as a compact stereoscopic assembly for 3D applications
