Three-color camera
Revision as of 21:19, 16 January 2012 by Dustin McAmera (talk | contribs) (Replaced '3-color' with 'three-color' and added 'color separation' as an alternative term)
Three-color cameras (color separation cameras) divide the incoming light into three different-coloured light bundles, each enlighting separate image planes, where there are three separate plates, film frames, or digital image sensors (in such cameras as the Minolta RD-175). The three images are later combined to form a full-colour image.
