About

The word 摄像机 is formed by combining three meaningful characters: 摄 (shè, meaning "to capture" or "record"), 像 (xiàng, meaning "image" or "likeness"), and 机 (jī, meaning "machine" or "device"). These components are assembled in a logical, descriptive sequence to conceptually define the object: it is a machine (机) whose function is to capture (摄) images (像). The formation is thus a direct and efficient compound that builds the idea from its core functional purpose to its physical category.
