"SLR" stands for "Single Lens Reflex" and broadly refers to the fact that an angled mirror means that the image projected to the eyepiece is exactly what will be on the film. (In other film cameras, the eyepiece is offset and sees a slightly different view to what will be on the film) More popularly, an SLR camera is known as one that involves interchangeable lenses. SLR cameras come in both film and digital versions. Nowadays very few of the major manufacturers still make film SLRs.

What is a film SLR?

A SLR camera is a camera in which the viewfinder sees directly through the lens via a mirror. Most point and shoot cameras have an additional lens that you look through which is offset from the lens that takes the picture. This means the photographer sees a slightly different image than the camera records. A film SLR records the image on negatives rather than in a digital format.


What does the acronym SLR mean in terms of a digital camera?
