9006.59.40.40 - Disc cameras

This classification covers disc cameras, a type of photographic camera characterized by its use of a disc-shaped film or digital recording medium. These cameras are specifically designed to capture still images and are distinct from cinematographic cameras, which are used for motion pictures. The term "disc camera" refers to the unique format of the recording medium utilized, rather than a specific brand or complex technological feature, although they are generally simpler in design than interchangeable lens cameras.

Within the broader category of "Other cameras," the subcategory "Fixed focus" distinguishes disc cameras based on their optical system. Unlike cameras with adjustable focus mechanisms, fixed focus cameras have a predetermined focal point. This means they are designed to produce sharp images within a specific range of distances, simplifying operation but limiting flexibility for close-up or telephoto shots.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. However, it's important to note that while the primary defining characteristic is the "disc" format of the recording medium, the classification as "fixed focus" is a crucial secondary determinant for items falling under 9006.59.40.40. Any disc camera featuring an adjustable focus would likely be classified elsewhere.
