KODAK Camera Back and Imager
The KODAK camera back incorporates a charge coupled device (CCD)
full-frame imager that collects light striking the imager.
The Specifications appendix lists the camera models available and the
dimensions of the imager and the size of the file produced by the imager.
Just after you take a picture, the Nikon N90s camera transmits data such
as the ISO, aperture, and shutter speed to the KODAK camera back
through the connector cable. After the shutter closes, the camera back
uses this information to process the image data.
