    ASI6200 Manual 4. QE Graph & Read Noise QE and Read noise are the most important parts to measure the performance of a camera. Higher QE and Lower read noise are needed to improve the SNR of an image. For the 6200 Sensor, the peak value for QE is around 80%. Read noise includes pixel diode noise, circuit noise and ADC quantization error noise.
