This document summarizes how a digital camera works. It contains the following key components:
1. A photo sensitive CCD captures the image according to light brightness.
2. An A/D converter converts the analog signal from the CCD to a digital 8-bit signal which is stored in memory.
3. Color images are formed using a color filter and interpolation to estimate color for each pixel.
The document provides details on these internal components and processes that allow digital cameras to digitally capture and store images.
