SLR
Photographer's camera type
SLR stands for single-lens reflex, a type of camera where the viewfinder sees through the same lens that captures the image, using a mirror that flips up when you shoot.
This design lets photographers see exactly what the film or sensor will record.
SLRs dominated serious photography for decades before mirrorless cameras emerged: She upgraded from a point-and-shoot to an SLR.
In finance, SLR can mean supplementary leverage ratio, a banking regulation metric.
