Common Misunderstandings of 🎞️
As a photo strip
While it shows frames, its primary association is with moving images (film), not static photo booth strips.
Tip: For photo strips, there isn't a dedicated emoji, but 📸 or 🖼️ might be used for photos.
As a generic video icon
It specifically refers to traditional film, not necessarily modern digital video formats, though it's often used broadly for video.
Tip: For general video, 📹 or 🎥 might be more appropriate.
