'''Digital photography''' uses [[cameras]] containing arrays of [[electronics|electronic]] [[photodetector]]s interfaced to an [[analog-to-digital converter]] (ADC) to produce [[image]]s focused by a [[lens (optics)|lens]], as opposed to an exposure on [[photographic film]]. The [[digitization|digitized]] image is stored as a [[computer file]] ready for further digital processing, viewing, [[electronic publishing]], or [[digital printing]]. It is a form of [[digital imaging]] based on gathering [[visible light]] (or an extended spectrum around visible light for scientific instruments).
Digital photography spans a wide range of applications with a long history. In the [[space industry]], where much of the technology originated, it pertains to highly customized, [[embedded system]]s combined with sophisticated remote [[telemetry]].
