CMOS lens sensor sensitivity has improved greatly over the last decade. When CMOS lenses first hit the market they required an enormous amount of light. The light that was required was so enormous that the real danger of spontaneous combustion became a valid fear due to the heat generated from the amount of light shining on, typically, a small area.

As technology has improved over the last decades the ability to increase the speed of these sensor lenses has risen. The increased speed and improved fill factors, which is the about of space on the lens dedicated to collecting light, means that the lenses have become much more light sensitive. This increased light sensitive also means reduce heat due to the fact they do not need as much light to work which reduces the danger associated with capture images in small areas.
