Lesson 10

How do cameras work?

Part 2

How digital cameras work

Digital cameras look very much like ordinary film cameras but they work in a completely different way. When you press the button to take a photograph with a digital camera, an aperture opens at the front of the camera and light streams in through the lens. So far, it's just the same as a film camera. From this point on, however, everything is different. There is no film in a digital camera. Instead, there is a piece of electronic equipment that captures the incoming light rays and turns them into electrical signals. This light detector is called a charge-coupled device (CCD). A CCD is an array of capacitors that are sensitive to light — when you hear cameras advertised by their resolution, it's the number of these capacitors that is being referred to. As particles of light (photons) strike the capacitors, they generate electrons. This creates an overall charge that can then be read as an indication of light intensity.

 

If you've ever looked at a television screen close up, you will have noticed that the picture is made up of millions of tiny colored dots or squares called pixels. Laptop LCD computer screens also make up their images using pixels, although they are often much too small to see. In a television or computer screen, electronic equipment switches all these colored pixels on and off very quickly. Light from the screen travels out to your eyes and your brain is fooled into see a large, moving picture.

 

In a digital camera, exactly the opposite happens. Light from the thing you are photographing zooms into the camera lens. This incoming " picture" hits the CCD, which breaks it up into millions of pixels. The CCD measures the color and brightness of each pixel and stores it as a number. CCDs don't read the color of the light, just its intensity, so to produce color photographs there must be a way of discriminating the intensity of the various colors of incoming light. These colors are known as the additive primaries: green, blue, and red. All the colors you see in a digital photograph are built of these colors.

Your digital photograph is effectively an enormously long string of numbers describing the exact details of each pixel it contains.
