The process of binding or confining calcium ions such that they are separated from other components of a biological system. The sequence of reactions within a cell required to convert absorbed photons from visible light into a molecular signal. A visible light stimulus is electromagnetic radiation that can be perceived visually by an organism; for organisms lacking a visual system, this can be defined as light with a wavelength within the range 380 to 780 nm. The series of events involved in visual perception in which a sensory light stimulus is received by a cell and converted into a molecular signal. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of a biological process. Biological processes are regulated by many means; examples include the control of gene expression, protein modification or interaction with a protein or substrate molecule. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the binding or confining calcium ions such that they are separated from other components of a biological system. The process by which the detection of light triggers the release of internally sequestered calcium ions. The series of molecular signals generated as a consequence of excitation of rhodopsin by a photon and the events then required to return the rhodopsin containing cell to the unexcited state. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of the binding or confining calcium ions such that they are separated from other components of a biological system.
