About

The word 摄像机 is formed by combining three characters: 摄 (shè), meaning "to capture"; 像 (xiàng), meaning "image"; and 机 (jī), meaning "machine". Together, they literally construct the meaning "image-capturing machine", directly referring to a device that records visual footage, such as a video camera.
