Definition
摄像 (shè xiàng) means 'to film, to videotape' — it specifically refers to recording moving images, not still photos. It focuses on operating a camera to capture video, more specific than 录像 (lù xiàng), which can also mean 'to record video' in a broader sense and can be a noun. Unlike 拍摄 (pāi shè), which covers both photos and film, 摄像 is only for video.
