A digital camera is an electronic device that captures and stores images in a digital format. Unlike traditional film cameras, which use chemical processes to record images, digital cameras use sensors to convert light into electronic signals. These images can be easily viewed, edited, and shared using computers or other digital devices. Digital cameras come in various types, including point-and-shoot, DSLR, and mirrorless models, each designed for different levels of photography. They typically feature settings for adjusting exposure, focus, and other parameters, allowing users to take high-quality photos in various conditions. Many digital cameras also include video recording capabilities.
