Reply to comment by dimonium_anonimo in ELI5, how do digital cameras work? How are images captured and saved? What happens inside when triggered? by Glad_Significance778

Thanks for your explanation, so basically the sensor is made out of subpixel and when light hits it, those subpixels generate an electrical turrent. The lens then filters the light based on its wavelength and bends it so that it hits the exact pixel. Then the sub pixels turn into pixels, which are scanned in rows or columns and then saved?
