A camera designed specifically for recording images directly on radiation sensitive emulsion. A photographic camera consists of four subassemblies, usually distinct and often separable: the lens assembly, consisting of the lens system and the lens; one or lens cylinder which keeps the lens system in place; the shutter mechanism, which determines the total amount of light admitted to the camera for taking a picture; the magazine, which stores, moves, and positions the light sensitive material on which the images are recorded; and the body, which holds the other three subassemblies in place and also keeps out all light but that admitted by the shutter mechanism.
