Can I say “The camera’picked up’ this expression suddenly” ?
Is this suitable this verb ‘picked up’ In the sentence above?
Thank you.
I have no answer.=(
It seems a very strange statement. Is there more context?
It is not clear? I meant, which action verb’ I can use in the case of ‘taking’ an image?
can I use the verb ‘picked up’ an image?
or the verb ‘shoot’ an image?
or Are there other suitable verbs in the sentence?
Thank you.
I caught this expression with my camera.
I took this expression with my camera.
I shot this expression with my camera.
The camera caught this image.
The camera shot this image.
The camera took this image.
thank you. 
If you say “this camera picked up an expression suddenly” it is a phrase using personification, you are giving the camera human like qualities. To be expressive. Once you’ve done this you can write a whole book staring this precious moment stealer.
I think Simon wanted to start with the down-to-earth basics.
