Camera

PHOTOGRAPHIC, a camera obscura, so constructed that sensitized plates or films may be placed at the back and receive the image. There are many styles of camera in use, those of the tripod variety being used for portraits and landscapes, where a long exposure is required, and the hand camera used by tourists on account of its convenient shape and size. See PHOTOG- RAPHY.
