How a digital camera works

Digital Camera: When you take a picture with a digital camera, a shutter opens for a brief moment and each pixel on the image sensor records the brightness of the light that would fall onto it. When the shutter closes to finish the exposure it gets transferred into a number that would range from a tone between black and white which are known as grey scale.
As the camera only records grey scale tones, RGB filters are laid on top which make the primary colours and as each pixel goes through these colour sensitive diodes which will mix together and will give a number which will then reveal the colour based on the number of tones
