Digital Camera Flashcards
1
Q
What happens when the shutter opens in a camera?
A
It lets light into the CCD sensor at the back of the lens
The CCD sensor is responsible for converting light into electrical signals.
2
Q
How is the intensity of light measured in a camera?
A
By millions of tiny sensors
These sensors detect the amount of light hitting them.
3
Q
How are light levels represented in digital cameras?
A
As binary values
Binary values allow for digital processing and storage of images.
4
Q
Where is the information captured by the camera stored?
A
In the camera’s memory
This memory can be internal or on removable storage media.
