System camera
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A system camera is a camera with interchangeable components that constitutes the core of a system. The Nikon F is normally regarded as the first true system camera. System cameras are normally SLRs.
In addition to the bare camera body, a camera system may consist of:
A lens that focuses light from the outside world onto the film plane A viewfinder, which shows what will be captured on the film. Many viewfinders are also responsible for metering. An interchangeable focusing screen. A camera back, which keeps the film flat against the film plane; some backs allow for an expanded amount of film to be loaded. A motor drive to advance the film automatically.
