- CYGM filter
In
digital photography , the CYGM filter is an alternativecolor filter array to theBayer filter (GRGB). It similarly uses a mosaic of pixel filters, ofcyan ,yellow ,green andmagenta , and so also requiresdemosaicing to produce a full-colour image.CYGM gives more accurate
luminance information than the Bayer filter, hence a widerdynamic range , but at the expense of colour accuracy.The CYGM filter is far less common than the Bayer filter. CCDs that use it include the 3 megapixel
Sony ICX252AK and ICS252AKF (which sampled in October 1999 [ [http://www.dpreview.com/news/9909/99090702sony3megapixel.asp Sony announce 3.24 megapixel CCD's: Digital Photography Review ] ] ).Cameras that use it include several Canon models of the 1999-2000 period, such as the Canon PowerShot S10 [ [http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canons10/page2.asp Canon S10 Review: 2.
