How Camera Works
AI Overview
Cameras work by using a lens to focus light from a scene through a small opening (aperture) onto a light-sensitive sensor (or film in older cameras), controlled by a shutter that determines exposure time, converting that light into an image, either electronically as data or chemically on film. Digital sensors (like CMOS/CCD) capture light, turn it into electrical signals, and the processor saves it as digital data (pixels), while film requires chemical development to reveal the image.

While film cameras use physical film with silver halides to capture images chemically, digital cameras use electronic sensors and pixels for instant viewing, rapid shooting, and easy editing. Though film provides a distinct baked-in look and tactile experience, digital imagery are more convenient and is more cost-effective in the long run. The core difference film and digital lies in the medium - film's grain vs. digital's pixels, and the workflow - waiting for film development vs. instant review, editing, and sharing for digitals.
