Making use of the incredibly high definition (2336x1728) Orion II sensor, for finely resolved long term recording, the M5 fills a very specific need. The chip's advanced electronics up the quantum efficiency, resulting in the same light sensitivity in these 7 micron pixels as is available in other sensors with pixels nearly double the size (3000 ISO monochrome, 1000 ISO color). With 30 bit color depth, and 10 bit grayscale depth, the image promises to be as faithful in gradation as resolution.

M5 is for users whose requirements discriminate in favor of detail and dimension; although the frame rate increases as the region of interest is decreased, the point of a camera with such a large native resolution is to use as much of that as possible in order to see that which might otherwise be missed . With a maximum speed at full resolution of 170fps, the full M5 system creates the ideal solution for any situation where clarity is king (the possibility 1µs exposures further enhance the clarity of the image, eliminating the risk of motion blur), such as industrial or scientific scanning, or military examination of important processes like parachute drops.
