A still camera (or photo apparatus) is a photographic camera which shoots stills onto film, film plates or imaging sensor, that means it shoots photographs instead of movies. Most modern digital still cameras offer a mode to record videos instead of stills, for example in VGA quality (640×480 color pixels). But these cameras and their shutters and lenses are primarily constructed and optimized for shooting stills. Usually still cameras are used for single shot photographs except in some photographic arts projects which comprise analog multi-exposure shots, thus needing cameras which allow multi-exposure.
