icing ▁is ▁not ▁required ▁for ▁the ▁F ove on ▁X 3 ▁sensor ▁to ▁produce ▁a ▁full - color ▁image , ▁the ▁color ▁artifact s ▁(" color ed ▁j agg ies ") ▁associated ▁with ▁that ▁process ▁are ▁not ▁seen . ▁The ▁separate ▁anti - ali asing ▁filter ▁commonly ▁used ▁to ▁mit ig ate ▁those ▁artifact s ▁in ▁a ▁Bayer ▁sensor ▁is ▁not ▁required . ▁This ▁is ▁because ▁little ▁alias ing ▁occurs ▁when ▁the ▁phot odi odes ▁for ▁each ▁color , ▁with ▁the ▁assistance ▁of ▁the ▁mic rol enses , ▁integrate ▁the ▁optical ▁image ▁over ▁a ▁region ▁almost ▁as ▁big ▁as ▁the ▁spacing ▁of ▁sens ors ▁for ▁that ▁color . ▁On ▁the ▁other ▁hand , ▁the ▁method ▁of ▁color ▁separation ▁by ▁sil icon ▁pen etr ation ▁depth ▁gives ▁more ▁cross - cont am ination ▁between ▁color ▁layers , ▁meaning ▁more ▁issues ▁with ▁color ▁accuracy , ▁especially ▁in ▁the ▁red ▁channel . ▁ ▁Light ▁gather ing ▁and ▁low - light ▁performance ▁Another ▁difference ▁is ▁that ▁more ▁of ▁the ▁phot ons ▁entering ▁the ▁camera ▁will ▁be ▁detected ▁by ▁the ▁F ove on ▁X 3 ▁photos ensor ▁than ▁is ▁possible ▁with ▁a ▁m osa ic ▁sensor . ▁This ▁is ▁because ▁each ▁of ▁the ▁color ▁filters ▁overlay ing ▁each ▁photos ite ▁of ▁a ▁m osa ic ▁sensor ▁passes ▁only ▁one ▁of ▁the ▁primary ▁colors , ▁absor bing ▁the ▁other ▁two . ▁The ▁absor ption ▁of ▁these ▁colors ▁reduces ▁the ▁total ▁amount ▁of ▁light ▁gathered ▁by ▁the ▁sensor ▁and ▁dest ro ys ▁much ▁of ▁the ▁information ▁about ▁the ▁color ▁of
