A digital camera records images digitally using an electronic image sensor instead of film. It can display images immediately and store thousands of images on memory. A lens or assembly of lenses is used in cameras to make images on film or electronically. A tripod is a three-legged stand used to support cameras or optical instruments to stabilize the image. Lights are used in photography to illuminate subjects and increase exposure, while focus determines how clearly light from objects is converged in an image.
