Abstract

An imaging apparatus includes an imaging device which includes a plurality of pixels and is operable to generate image information for each pixel from received light. Each of the plurality of pixels includes one of first to fourth color filters. Each of the first to the fourth color filters has different spectral characteristics. The fourth color filter has the highest light transmittance among the color filters. The first to the fourth color filters are arranged in a specific array. The specific array has first to third centroids which make a Bayer array.
