choice between one of the pre-defined settings.
xFlash - Built-in on the body of most compact and some DSLR cameras this
can either be fixed or flip type, it provides an instantaneous burst of bright light
to illuminate a poorly lit scene.
xThe sensor Transforms the created optical image into electrical signals
that form the digital image.
The sensor is made up of cells called photosites. Each photodiode receives light
that is transformed by the photositos and amplified by an amplifier (PGA more
common) and then it is stored in the form of image RAW that is the negative of
the photograph
Image Sensor The image sensor converts the optical image to an electronic
signal, which is then sent to your memory card. There are two main types of
image sensors that are used in most digital cameras: CMOS and CCD. Both forms
of the sensor accomplish the same task, but each has a different method of
performance.
