4.4.1 Color filter array (Bayer pattern)

Sometimes it might be necessary to set the CFA manually. To determine how the pixels are located in the

CFA, see the corresponding filters in an image taken with camSPECS. These filters represent blue, green,

and red. Non-standard color filter arrays are supported: select 'C' (for Clear) for each channel in the

corresponding drop-down menu in the advanced settings panel.

For example, in the CFA in the 450 nm picture, the brightest pixel is blue. The brightest pixel in the 650 nm

filter picture is red; the remaining two pixels of a 2x2 area represent the green channel of the camera. This

procedure should work with most regular 3-channel cameras.
