Abstract
An electronic imaging system for a digital camera or imaging device includes a secondary filter having a plurality of filter openings. Each of the filter openings configured to align with a respective light sensor positioned in a grid of light sensors on a CCD. Light filtering media located in the filter openings is employed to reduce light transmitted to the light sensors to either prevent overloads of the sensors or to calculate a corrected light sensor output from a light sensor positioned adjacent an overloaded light sensor.
