Definition
Spectral response measures how sensitive an imaging system is to specific colors of light. Sensors rarely respond perfectly to all wavelengths, which affects color accuracy.
Why It Matters
Different sensors interpret color differently due to variations in filters and sensor design.
Impact
This characteristic influences skin tones, color reproduction, and grading flexibility.
Professional Relevance
Understanding spectral response helps colorists compensate for sensor differences.
