images
What cameras capture
Images are visual representations—pictures, photographs, paintings, or mental visualizations.
The word covers everything from satellite images to the image of her face in my mind.
Image extends to reputation or public perception: The scandal damaged his image.
A person can be the spitting image of another, meaning an exact likeness.
In computing, an image file stores visual data; to image a drive is to copy it exactly.
