              This Is How Your Digital Camera’s CCD Chip Works

              I enjoy new technology and I also love to know how my gadgets actually work. I constantly find myself watching Bill Hammack’s videos on Youtube because he does a fantastic job of explaining extremely complicated things in a way that I can understand. In this video “The Engineer Guy” explains the technology behind our digital cameras.

                All right! I’ve already started to cut off some aluminum strips. Once I find a slab of silicon I’ll turn my F5 into a digital cam…

                 I love my Nikon F5. Built like a Tank. Perfect exposure every time.

                So, how does a CMOS (that all newer DSLR’s, except MF cameras, use) work? :3
