Which term defines the digital sensor's ability to capture detail in terms of pixel count?

• A. Sensor
• B. Aperture
• C. Exposure
• D. Resolution

Answer: (D)

Resolution is the term that describes how much detail a digital sensor can record, based on its pixel count. It refers to the number of pixels the sensor can capture in width and height, often expressed as total megapixels or image dimensions. A higher pixel count means more detail in the image and more flexibility to enlarge or crop without losing sharpness. This is different from the sensor itself, the aperture (the lens opening that controls light and depth of field), and exposure (the total amount of light collected). While other factors also affect final sharpness, resolution specifically measures the amount of detail captured through pixel count.
