DFM 36CX296-ML
- Sony IMX296
- FPD-Link III Camera
The Sony IMX296 FPD-Link III camera DFM 36CX296-ML is a compact color embedded vision camera with a Sony Pregius IMX296 global shutter sensor. With 1440×1080 resolution and 60 fps at full resolution, this 1.6 MP camera is designed for embedded vision systems that need reliable color image capture of moving objects.
The DFM 36CX296-ML uses a 1/2.9 inch Sony IMX296 CMOS Pregius sensor and connects over an FPD-Link III interface. Its design makes it suitable for compact embedded systems, robotics, inspection devices and OEM vision products.
Sony IMX296 sensor for embedded vision
The DFM 36CX296-ML is built around the Sony IMX296 image sensor. This Sony Pregius sensor combines global shutter technology with a 1440×1080 resolution, making it a strong choice for applications where consistent, repeatable imaging and accurate capture of motion are more important than a very high megapixel count.
Sony’s Pregius technology is developed for global shutter CMOS sensors and is aimed at high-speed, high-precision factory automation and machine vision applications. Global shutter technology captures the entire scene simultaneously, helping to avoid focal plane distortion when imaging fast-moving objects.

Color FPD-Link III camera with Sony IMX296 sensor
This color FPD-Link III camera outputs color images. A color camera is the right choice when the application requires hue and color classification in addition to intensity information, supporting inspection, sorting and recognition tasks where color data matters.
Color cameras use a Bayer color filter to calculate RGB values across the sensor. Compared with monochrome sensors, which do not use a color filter, color cameras provide true color information for applications that depend on accurate rendering of colored features, labels or materials.
Global shutter FPD-Link III camera for moving objects
The DFM 36CX296-ML is a global shutter FPD-Link III camera. Global shutter sensors expose all pixels at the same moment, which helps capture moving objects without the shape distortion that can occur with rolling shutter sensors.
This is important for embedded vision applications with moving parts, conveyor belts, robotics, rotating objects or fast positioning systems. Exposing every pixel simultaneously helps eliminate spatial distortion during high-speed motion and supports precise measurement and detection in dynamic scenes.
Applications for the Sony IMX296 FPD-Link III camera
The DFM 36CX296-ML is suitable for embedded vision applications where a compact color module is required. Typical use cases include:
- Machine vision inspection
- Robotics and automation
- Motion analysis
- Object detection
- Barcode and code reading
- Measurement systems
