disposable camera

Single-use film device

A disposable camera is a simple, inexpensive camera designed for single use.

The entire unit—a basic lens, shutter mechanism, and preloaded film—is returned to a photo lab for processing, where the prints are extracted and the camera discarded or recycled.

Popular at weddings and parties where guests can snap candid shots: We put disposable cameras on every table at the reception.
