Digital Photography

Digital photography is a form of photography that uses an array of light sensitive sensors to capture the image focused by the lens, as opposed to an exposure on light sensitive film. The captured image is then stored as a digital file ready for digital processing (colour correction, sizing, cropping, etc.), viewing or printing.

Digital photography is one of several forms of digital imaging. Digital images are also created by non-photographic equipment such as computer tomographyscanners and radio telescopes. Digital images can also be made by scanning conventional photographic images.
