Camera that uses a mirror and prisms to
reflect light passing through the lens into
the viewfinder, showing the photographer the
exact scene which is being shot. When the
shutter button is released the mirror springs
out of the way, allowing light to reach the
film. The commonest type is the single-lens
reflex (SLR) camera. The twin-lens reflex
(TLR) camera has two lenses: one has a mirror
for viewing, the other is used for exposing
the film.
