Camera

A box that allows light to pass through a pinhole aperture or a lens, which regulates the light entering the box and produces an image of the world outside the box on an internal surface opposite the aperture or lens. The use of mirrors causes the picture to be seen in reverse because, as when seen by the human eye, it is displayed upside-down (whereas it is inverted by the human brain).
