A '''camera''' is a device used to capture images, either as still photographs or as sequences of moving images (movies or videos). The term as well as the modern-day camera evolved from the Latin ''camera obscura'' for "dark chamber" for an early mechanism of projecting images where an entire room functioned as a real-time imaging system.

[[Rockstar|Rockstar Games]] added camera functionality in ''Grand Theft Auto'', starting in ''[[GTA Vice City|Vice City]]''. In ''Vice City'' you could only use it once for a mission. The device is also available in ''[[GTA San Andreas|San Andreas]]'', albeit with more functionality, allowing the player to use it freely. It can be used in [[San Fierro]] to collect snapshots, which is required to achieve 100% completion.

In [[GTA IV]] you are equipped with a [[Whiz|camera phone]] during the mission [[Photo Shoot]]. The camera is used in certain missions where a picture is required. Outside of missions, snapshots can be taken, but there is no way of saving them. Accessing the camera function of the phone when in a cable car or train allows for first-person view. In a player-controlled vehicle however, the car will stop immediately when the camera is selected, no matter what speed.
