6. New detector type.

New detector type designed by Foveon (Fig.6.1) produces the deviation similar to one, produced by widely used sensors, if it is used with a traditional filter. However, the application of a filter with complicated configuration (Fig.6.2) transfers DSC Sigma 9 from an ordinary camera class into a class of cameras with precise color capturing.

Foveon r g b MRS
Traditional Filter 30.0° 20.2° 21.3° 24.2°
Modern Filter 2.3° 5.3° 2.6° 3.7°

Fig.CRI.6.1 DSSs for Foveon matrix with UV+IR extra filter are displayed with bold solid lines. Residual components are displayed with dotted lines.

Fig.CRI.6.2 Thin solid lines represent the original DSSs for Foveon matrix, bold solid lines represent the matrix +new filter DSSs, and residual matrix +filter components are displayed with dotted lines. Black line represents the filter.
