Into electric charge? I don’t understand the question, and it sounds like the question is supposed to lead readers somewhere.

The camera integrates incoming light into a tiny square into an electric charge and then reads out the charge (at least for a CCD), giving a brightness (and with the Bayer filter in front of the sensor, a color) for the pixel. So it’s a measurement over the tiny square, not a point sample.
