What type of camera uses film to capture images?

The correct answer is film camera because this type of camera specifically uses photographic film to record images. The film consists of a light-sensitive material that captures the image when exposed to light through the camera's lens. This traditional method of photography contrasts with digital cameras, which employ electronic sensors to record images.

Digital cameras, including mirrorless cameras and DSLRs (Digital Single-Lens Reflex), do not use film; instead, they utilize digital sensors to capture images. While DSLRs can be camera models that may also incorporate a film back for hybrid use, the defining characteristic of a true film camera is its exclusive reliance on film for the photographic process. The use of film in cameras has specific characteristics regarding image quality, exposure latitude, and the chemical development process that distinguishes it from digital imaging methods.
