A
mirrorless camera
(MILC) is a photo camera featuring a single, removable lens and a
digital display. The camera does not have a reflex mirror or optical
viewfinder like a digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) camera, but may have an electronic viewfinder. Many mirrorless
cameras retain a mechanical shutter. Like a DSLR, a mirrorless
camera accepts any of a series of interchangeable lenses compatible
with its lens mount.
The lighter build of MILCs make this a great option for female
filmmakers seeking to lighten the load for all-day filming. Their
innovative design allows for more precision with several brands
releasing their own lines of mirrorless cameras.
