Just how much light is available? Are these pictures taken with natural available light, (the light spectrum that we see) or another wavelength?

It seems awful bright for a place that far away from the sun, on the other hand, it's getting both direct sunlight and the sunlight reflected off saturn...

DISR
DISR (Descent Imager and Spectral Radiometer) is an optical remote sensing instrument. It includes a set of upward and downward looking photometers, visible and infrared spectrometers, a solar aureole sensor, a side-looking imager, and two down-looking imagers - one providing medium resolution and the other high resolution. There is also a sun sensor that will measure the spin rate of the probe. DISR will make measurements in the 0.3 to 1.7 µm range.
