Kirk reassigned sensor sensitivity to search for humanoid life and industrial installations.

No ship he'd ever commanded, or even served upon, beforeFortune Hunter would have boasted the sensor sensitivity to have spotted the Manty's recon platform when it came in on her.

Short integration times will minimize the blur, but integration times are limited by sensor sensitivity.

Therefore, sensor sensitivity and other time-related factors will have a direct impact on spatial resolution.

Miniaturization conflicts with the imager's ability to gather light, and designers have delicately balanced improvements in sensor sensitivity with sensor size reduction, shrinking the overall camera imager & optics, while maintaining reasonably noise-free video in broad daylight.

Nikon also reported improved noise reduction at high sensor sensitivities.

Depending on the technique selected, the exposure index rating can depend on the sensor sensitivity, the sensor noise, and the appearance of the resulting image.

"Just as Klingon shipbuilding technology, for quite some time, concentrated on weapons capacity rather than sensor sensitivity ... since it was considered that the function of a warship was to pursue and destroy, rather than lie quiet and spy."

The sensor sensitivity and corner frequency depend also on the application.
