Abstract

A camera includes a plurality of photosensors disposed on an imaging surface. The photosensors separately output respective photodetection signals, and are grouped into a plurality of photosensitive units each including at least two of the photosensors. The photosensors of each of the photosensitive units have respective detection wavelength ranges which do not overlap one another. The photodetection signals outputted from selected ones of the photosensors of each of the photosensitive units are used in performing spectrum analysis. R (red), G (green), and B (blue) signals are synthesized from the photodetection signals outputted from the photosensors of each of the photosensitive units and are used in displaying an ordinary color image.
