What's the difference between a SLR camera and a video camera?

SLR camera: SLR cameras are mainly used to take still pictures.

Camera: The camera is mainly used to shoot dynamic movies.

2. Shooting method:

SLR camera: SLR cameras take pictures almost entirely by manual zooming and focusing.

Camera: The camera can do it automatically.

Extended data:

It can be seen from the structural diagram of a single-lens reflex camera that the light reaches the reflector through the lens and is reflected to the focusing screen above to form an image. Through the eyepiece and pentaprism, we can see the scenery outside in the observation window. The light passes through the lens and is reflected by the reflector to the frosted viewfinder.

Through the convex lens and reflected in the pentaprism, the final image appears in the viewfinder. When the shutter is pressed, the mirror moves in the direction shown by the arrow, and the mirror is lifted, and the image is taken on CCD or CMOS, which is consistent with what is seen on the viewfinder screen.
