This article focuses on digital image capture for movies. For digital projection and distribution, see digital cinema.

Digital cinematography is the process of capturing (recording) motion pictures as digital video images rather than traditional analog film frames. Digital capture may occur on video tape, hard disks, flash memory, or other media which can record digital data through the use of a digital movie video camera or other digital video camera. As digital technology has improved in recent years, this practice has become dominant. Since the mid 2010s most of the movies across the world are captured as well as distributed digitally.
