The image sensor is also equipped with binning mode to increase its sensitivity in low-light conditions all the way up to 2666 mV. Images of pedestrians and obstacles under the moonlight can still be captured even on dark nights. Even in environments with uneven or mixed brightness such as car headlights and street lights at night, the image sensor has the ability to combine high-sensitivity imagery of dark areas and high-resolution imagery of bright areas to produce high-precision images recognition after post-processing.

This is the first automotive-grade sensor to use a stacked configuration in the industry. The pixel array and signal processing circuitry are arranged on separate layers to reduce their size and power consumption while maintaining high-resolution. Both image sensors have passed the AEC-Q100 Grade 2 reliability testing standard for autotronic components. SONY followed the ISO 26262 standard during development to ensure that design quality complied with the automotive functional safety standard requirements. The image sensors satisfied the ASIL B functional safety rating for fault testing, notification and control. The IMX324 / IMX424 also incorporates anti-tamper protection of video outputs for use in automotive sensor cameras.
