"85258030 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 85258091 and 85258099, 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.

85258091 and 85258099 Video camera recorders

Video camera recorders of these subheadings are always capable of recording sequences of video, whether on an internal storage medium or on interchangeable media.

In general, the digital video camera recorders of these subheadings have the design which differs from digital cameras of subheading 85258030. They often have a foldable viewfinder and are frequently presented together with a remote control. They always offer an optical zoom function during video recording.

These digital video camera recorders may also have still image recording capability.

Digital cameras are excluded from these subheadings if they are not 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."
