What type of electronic sensor captures imagery in an electro-optical camera?

The Charge-Coupled Device (CCD) is a key technology used in electro-optical cameras to capture high-quality images. It consists of an array of capacitors that convert incoming light photons into electronic signals. When light hits the CCD, it generates charge that is collected and transferred through the capacitor array. This process enables the creation of detailed digital images. CCD sensors are known for their high sensitivity to light, leading to better performance in low-light conditions and producing images with greater clarity and detail compared to other sensor types.

As for the other options, Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) is a technology used to reduce blurriness caused by camera movement and is not directly involved in capturing images. Light Emitting Diodes (LED) serve primarily as light sources rather than image sensors. Photoresistors (LDR) are used to measure light intensity and can detect changes in light levels, but they do not perform the conversion necessary for image capturing like a CCD does.
