Richard K Posted June 7, 2021 Share #1 Posted June 7, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) In reviews I’ve read that the monochrome version of the Q2, along with higher ISO capability and better dynamic range, also shows better resolution. Given that the lens is identical as is the pixel count, how can that be? The only thing I can think of is that individual pixels in the colour version are dedicated to red, green or blue and won’t record detail for colour that they’re not sensitive to whereas in the monochrome version, each pixel responds to the light intensity regardless of colour. Can someone educate me? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jankap Posted June 7, 2021 Share #2 Posted June 7, 2021 So it is, nothing special. To divide the light into the red, green and blue parts there are filters in front of the light sensitive cell. Every cell receives in the case of white light one third of the amount. The filters swallow somewhat light anyway. The three cells together build a pixel. In case of a monochrome sensor every cell is a pixel. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
