What about Image Quality?
We will be diving deeper on each of the Dual Aperture camera's unique features, but first, let's take a look at picture quality.
The Dual Aperture camera's unique features are made possible because its sensor doesn't use the traditional Bayer sensor model. Instead of a RGBG filter, the Dual Aperture sensor uses a modified filter that replaces the second green sub-pixel with an infra-red sub-pixel.
So what does this mean for picture quality? The absence of a second green sub-pixel and the possibility of infrared leakage onto the other sub-pixels creates the potential for serious image quality problems; However, our engineers at Dual Aperture have successfully designed a solution that enables image quality on-par with most modern cameras AND allows for all the unique features that make Dual Aperture cameras so special.
