Canon’s Multi-Band 50MP Camera Sees Colours The Human Eye Can’t

You’re not seeing the full picture – the picture that the world’s first single-shot multi-band camera can see, because it’s got six colour filters mounted on its 50MP CMOS sensor. Here’s what it sees:

The six colour filters allow it to distinguish colours that neither the human eye nor traditional RGB three-colour camera systems can see. Little more than a lens on a brain, don’t expect to see it show up in your point-and-shoot anytime soon.

    i dont see the point in this.

    sure it takes a photo of colours we cant see.
    but then you have a photo that still looks the same cause you still cant see those extra colours…
