1. A method of correcting parallax in an imaging system comprising the steps of:

  • receiving color information from multi-array sensors arranged on a substrate;

    receiving luminance information from a sub-array sensor arranged with the multi-array sensors on the substrate;

    correlating color information received from at least one of the multi-array sensors with the luminance information received from the sub-array sensor; and

    shifting the color information among the multi-array sensors, based on the correlation, to correct the parallax andprior to receiving the color information from the multi-array sensors and luminance information from the sub-array sensor, the step includes;

    setting a read out speed of the sub-array sensor faster than a read out speed of the multi-array sensors in a first time interval,setting a read out speed of the sub-array sensor substantially equal to a read out speed of the multi-array sensors in a second time interval.
