Sony IMX533 · 9.0MP 1" rolling-shutter CMOS image sensor

IMX533 Sensor Specifications & Compatible M12 and C-Mount Lenses

IMX533 image sensor with a recommended Commonlands lens and calculated field of view

IMX533 is a Sony 1-inch rolling-shutter CMOS image sensor in the STARVIS family, tuned for low-light sensitivity. It captures a square 3000x3000 (9 MP) frame on 3.76 um pixels across a 15.95 mm diagonal at 26.9 fps over MIPI CSI-2. Its 15.95 mm image circle sits beyond M12 Lens coverage, so the C-Mount Lenses in the table below carry it, each with its calculated horizontal, vertical, and diagonal field of view.

Compatible Commonlands Lenses for the IMX533 with Calculated Field of View

Each field of view below is calculated for the IMX533 active area (11.28 × 11.28 mm) from Commonlands’ per-lens field-of-view data, which reflects each lens’s real distortion rather than a focal-length-only estimate. Alongside the horizontal, vertical, and diagonal field of view, each row lists the lens aperture (F#), distortion, ingress protection, total track length (TTL), and rated resolution, so you can shortlist on optics and mechanics in one pass. Coverage shows whether the lens image circle covers the 15.95 mm sensor diagonal. Only lenses that cover the full diagonal are listed. Run exact working-distance and object-size numbers through the field of view calculator.

Engineering picks for the IMX533

  1. Best ~30° HFoV: 25mm C-Mount Lens (CIL554) (25 mm, f/2.6). Why: the closest covering option to 30° horizontal, chosen for tight inspection framing and long read ranges. Field of view on the IMX533: 25° H × 25° V (35° diagonal). The image circle covers the full sensor (verified 2026-07-02).
  2. Best ~60° HFoV: 8.5mm C-Mount Lens (CIL508) (8.5 mm, f/2.4). Why: the closest covering option to 60° horizontal, chosen for general-purpose machine-vision framing. Field of view on the IMX533: 70° H × 70° V (91° diagonal). The image circle covers the full sensor (verified 2026-07-02).
  3. Longest reach: 75mm C-Mount Lens (CIL557) (75 mm, f/3). Why: the tightest covering field of view for detail and stand-off work. Field of view on the IMX533: 9° H × 9° V (12° diagonal). The image circle covers the full sensor (verified 2026-07-02).

This larger format pairs with the C-Mount Lens collection. Covering lenses below run from 1.3 mm to 75 mm focal length and span 9° to 184° horizontal field of view on the IMX533 active area.

Covers in the table means the lens image circle is at least as large as the 15.95 mm sensor diagonal, so the corners are not cropped. Need a focal length or coverage that is not listed here? Ask our engineers to confirm a match.

How to choose a lens for the IMX533

Start from the field of view your application needs, then read across to the focal length that produces it on the IMX533. Confirm the lens image circle covers the 15.95 mm diagonal so the corners are not cropped, and check the lens resolution is rated for 9.0 MP or higher so it resolves the 3.76 µm pixels. For exact working-distance and object-size numbers, run the figures through the Commonlands field of view calculator.

Sourcing a camera module around the IMX533? Commonlands manufactures the M12 Lenses and C-Mount Lenses above and ships from San Diego, with same-day shipping on in-stock lenses ordered by 12 PM PST.
