One of the two main types of image sensors used in digital cameras. When a picture is taken, the
CCD is struck by light coming through the camera's lens. Each of the thousands or millions of tiny
pixels that make up the CCD converts this light into electrons. The number of electrons, usually
described as the pixel's accumulated charge, is measured, and then converted to a digital value.
This last step occurs outside the CCD, in a camera component called an analog-to-digital converter.
