Howdoes a vlogging camera sensor work? It is quite confusing but basically, lightis captured by the camera sensor when it strikes the lens of the camera. Thelight that hits the lens travels from the camera sensor to the sensor surfaceand is transformed into electrical pulses as it travels. These light waves arethen converted into the image data that is stored and can be viewed later ordirectly by the computer. In essence, the camera sensor is a miniaturemicroscope and the lens captures the image from any angle by sending a burst oflight through the lens.
