The Science Behind Digital Camera Sensors

Here’s a great 13-minute video in which John Hess of Filmmaker IQ teaches about the science and technology behind digital camera sensors. First, however, he revisits how photographic film worked, as some of the general concepts were carried over into the digital world.

The video goes deep — Hess even goes into the physics and chemistry of how things work at the smallest levels.
