cameras.

The film has been replaced with a light sensitive chip, called a Charge Coupled Device

(CCD). This chip is an array of millions elements that are sensitive to light. When light

hits an element in the CCD array, a electrical charge is accumulated at a rate determined

by the amount of light striking it. This charge is then measured by an analog to digital

converter that converts the voltage to a digital value that can be stored in memory. The

raw image derived from the CCD is too big to store. The camera contains a specialized

chip know as the compression engine, which takes the raw image and compresses it to a

size that can be stored on the memory card. This compression reduces the overall storage

requirement by a factor of 3 to 16.
