Just wondering?

Is it possible to use a DBK21 in black and white mode using the separate color filters for capturing? Hope it's not too silly a question

Cheers

The chip of the DBK has colour filters over the pixels in a matrix of R, G and B. You can't take them off but you can ask the software to ignore them afterwards. This does not make a mono camera, it just makes a mono image. If you put a blue filter in front of a colour camera then only blue light gets in - so the red and green filtered pixels get nothing at all. This would be a total waste of time.

A mono camera has no colour filters over the pixels so all the pixels can respond to all of the light which falls on them. If you put a blue filter over the front ALL of the pixels see the blue light.
