26. Digital Camera Allows users to take pictures and store the photographed images digitally.

27. Digital Camera When you take a picture, light passes into the camera lens, which focuses the image on a charge- coupled device (CCD). The CCD generates an analog signal that represents the image.

28. Digital Camera An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) converts the analog signal to a digital signal. A digital signal processor (DSP) stores the digital image on the camera’s storage media.

29. Digital Camera The images can be transferred to a computer via a USB/Serial/Firewire connection
