Super Pixel

[bloodycheap]

Can anyone tell me how many pixels make up a single super pixel?

Why?

One of these is a readout mode called "Variable Pixel Size" in which Foveon can link four or more pixels together into one giant (relatively speaking), super pixel. While this will reduce the resolution of the chip (in the four pixel linked example a 3Mp chip becomes a .75Mp chip) the big advantage will be in less light required for exposure. A four pixel super pixel needs two f/stops less light to record an image when compared to four individual pixels.
