Foveon Sensor

A Foveon sensor is a type of digital camera sensor that captures color differently from traditional sensors. Instead of using separate layers or filters for red, green, and blue light, it stacks multiple photographic layers within a single chip. This allows it to record complete color information at every point, resulting in images with rich detail and smooth color gradations. Because it captures depth information for each color, Foveon sensors can produce images with high resolution and color accuracy, especially in areas with fine detail and subtle tones, making them popular for high-quality photography.
