A '''still video camera''' ('''SVC''') is a type of electronic [[camera]] that takes still images and stores them as single frames of [[video]]. They peaked in popularity in the late 1980s{{Citation needed|date=March 2018}} and can be seen as the predecessor to the [[digital camera]]. However, unlike the latter, the image storage in such cameras is based on analog technology, rather than as a digital file.
