  7. In simple terms.

    Digital:

    Every color is made up of three primary colors. Those colors are red, blue and green. In a camera there are things called pixels. Within each pixel are three sensors. One for each of the primary colors.

    When light travels through the lens, those three sensors react to the light. This information of which sensors reacted and at what intensity goes to the processor. The processor basically organizes and compiles all of the information from the million of pixels. Then it gets store as a visible image.
