What is a DSLR camera?
A DSLR, or Digital Single-Lens Reflex camera, uses one interchangeable lens for viewing and recording the image.
Inside a DSLR, a mirror reflects light from the lens into the optical viewfinder. When recording begins, the mirror moves out of the way, allowing light to reach the digital sensor.
