Камера

Камера (kamera) is a Russian term that translates to "camera" in English. It primarily refers to a device used for capturing images or videos, typically consisting of a light-tight box with an opening (lens) through which light travels to expose a light-sensitive surface (such as film or a digital sensor). Cameras can vary widely in form and function, including types such as digital cameras, film cameras, and smartphone cameras. The word can also refer to specific types of camera systems or setups within different contexts, such as surveillance cameras or security cameras, as well as broader interpretations like "camera obscura," which is an early device that led to the development of photographic technology. In addition to its photographic use, "camera" may also denote certain chambers or enclosed spaces in various fields, but the predominant and most recognized meaning is associated with photography and videography.
