A digital camera is an electronic device used to capture, store, and edit digital images, and videos. It can also be used to store audio recordings. Digital cameras use a variety of sensors to capture light and create an image which is then stored digitally in a digital file format on a memory card, hard disk drive, or other storage device.
Digital cameras are typically classified by the resolution of the images they take, either measured in megapixels or pixels. Some digital cameras have a range, or zoom feature, which allows for the capture of very small and very large digital images. Digital cameras also often offer various ways to adjust the exposure settings, allowing the image to be easily adjusted for various lighting conditions.
The images taken by digital cameras can be viewed on the cameras internal display, or can be transferred from the camera to a computer or other device. Many digital cameras now include software or apps to allow the images to be further adjusted and manipulated, and may even allow for the creation of simple animations or videos. Digital cameras are becoming increasingly popular, and are now available in many shapes and sizes with a wide range of features, and prices.
