Film cameras are devices that capture images on light-sensitive film instead of using digital sensors. When you take a photo, light enters the camera through the lens and exposes the film, creating a latent image. After developing the film in a darkroom, the images can be printed or scanned for viewing.
Unlike modern digital cameras, film cameras require a bit more patience and skill, as you have to manage the number of exposures on a roll of film. Many photographers appreciate the unique qualities of film, such as its grain and color rendition, which can give photos a distinct character that digital images sometimes lack.
