Digital Camera Technology : How Do Digital Cameras Work?

Digital cameras work by allowing light to come through a lens opening, which then causes an electronic reaction from special sensors inside the camera. Find out how digital cameras create pictures using computer language with information from a professional photographer in this free video on digital cameras.

i didn't learn what i was hoping to. i want to know how does a camera take a picture! like how? does it capture us in a still photograph. it takes a picture of a real moment. it's something i never understood. same thing with recording sound.

@amensandomens When you click the button to take the photograph, the shutter suddenly opens. In that split second that the shutter is open for, light goes in through the lens that couldnt go through before since the shutter was closed. the light hits the film or ccd depending on the type of camera and the amount of light on certain areas on film/ccd creates the image. there are color sensors that add color and that depends on the amount of light concentration on certain parts. yep.

1 and 0's are not bits and bytes they are just bits, bytes are strings of 8 bits

@amensandomens He said how it captures an image. The shutter of the camera opens up and light reflected from the image goes into the camera and reacts with light respondent molecules on the film. Chemicals are added later to create the photograph.

Thanks mate.

@amensandomens as far as recording sound, it is vibration. just as the ear hears it, it can be transferred to a source other than the ear. look up tomas edison... the first sound recording was done on a peice of wax paper with a tooth pick. its very interesting and simple.
