Digital cameras

Digital cameras of this subheading are always capable of still image recording, whether on an internal storage medium or on interchangeable media.

Most cameras of this subheading have the design of a traditional photographic camera and do not have a foldable viewfinder.

These cameras may also have video-capture capability to record sequences of video. Cameras remain classified in this subheading unless they are capable, using the maximum storage capacity, of recording, in a quality of 800 × 600 pixels (or higher) at 23 frames per second (or higher) at least 30 minutes in a single sequence of video.

Compared to the video camera recorders of subheadings 8525 80 91 and 8525 80 99, many digital cameras (when functioning as video cameras) do not offer an optical zoom function during video recording. Unaffected by the storage capacity, some cameras automatically terminate the recording of video after a certain period of time.
