One-shot sensor

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A one-shot sensor in digital cameras simultaneously registers the three basic colors of the additive color mixture (red, green and blue). The light is broken down into its color components by a color filter layer (mostly designed as a Bayer matrix ) on the CCD sensor ; each cell is only sensitive to one color of the spectral light, the missing color values ​​are interpolated.

Cameras with a built-in sensor are known as one-shot cameras. Digital amateur cameras are only offered as one-shot models, while three-shot sensors are also used in some professionally used digital camera backs , although one-shot models are predominantly used here as well.
