May 3, 2013 at 8:26 comment added Michael C re: monochromatic pixels on some on-sensor PDAF cameras. I think I have too, but I couldn't find it today. I think the Nikon 1 series uses green also, but I've too many photos to edit right now to look for it.

May 3, 2013 at 8:19 comment added Matt Grum @MichaelClark fair enough, I'm sure a saw something from another manufacturer stating they used clear filters for those pixels.
May 3, 2013 at 7:48 comment added Michael C At least on Fuji's version, the pixels used are filtered for green. This article quotes Mr. Yamashita of Fuji regarding the design of the sensor. dpreview.com/news/2010/8/5/fujifilmpd
