How it's used
Beyond the physical optical component, this word is frequently used in media contexts to refer to a camera shot or a specific angle in film and television. When someone says 畀多啲鏡頭佢, they are asking for more screen time or camera focus on a particular person. It functions as both a technical photography term and a common way to discuss visual framing in entertainment.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 眼鏡, which means eyeglasses. While both contain the character 鏡, the former refers to the optical glass of a camera, whereas the latter is for vision correction.
