Hand-held camera

A hand-held camera is a device that you hold in your hand and use to take pictures or record videos. It's like having a toy camera that you can bring with you anywhere you go!

You hold the camera with your hand and look through a little window called a viewfinder to see what you want to take a picture or video of. When you see something that you want to capture, you press a button called a "shutter" and the camera takes the picture or video for you.

Hand-held cameras can come in all different sizes and shapes. Some can be very big and heavy, while others can be very small and light. They can also have different features, like zooming in or out, changing the focus or brightness, and even editing your pictures or video right on the camera!

So if you ever want to take pictures or record videos of your adventures, just grab a hand-held camera and snap away!
