Getting Started with Digital Photography

Understand how digital cameras create photographs, recognise the main camera types and use basic controls with confidence.

What is digital photography?

Digital photography records images using an electronic sensor instead of photographic film. When light enters the camera through the lens, the sensor captures that light and converts it into digital information, creating a photograph that can be viewed, edited and shared.
