Image Sensors

Image sensors are electronic components within cameras that convert light into electrical signals to create digital images. They are made up of tiny light-sensitive elements called pixels, each capturing the brightness and color information of the scene. When you take a picture, the sensor gathers incoming light and transforms it into data that computers or devices can process. The two main types are CCD and CMOS sensors, both performing this function efficiently. Essentially, image sensors are the core technology that allows digital cameras and smartphones to capture and produce visual representations of the world around us.
