+# Handheld Camera Usage Guide
+
+## Overview
+The handheld camera is a device that allows you to take photos in-game and place them on walls as decorations.
+
+## How to Use
+
+### Taking Photos
+1. Get a camera (spawn with admin commands: `/spawn HandheldCamera`)
+2. Hold the camera in your hand
+3. Press the use key (default: Z) to take a photo
+4. A photo item will appear in your hands (or drop if hands are full)
+5. Wait 2 seconds before taking another photo (cooldown)
+
+### Placing Photos on Walls
+1. Hold a photo item in your hand
+2. Press the use key (default: Z) to convert it to a framed photo
+3. The framed photo will spawn at your location
+4. Pick up the framed photo
+5. Aim at a wall and click to place it (like placing posters or signs)
+
+## Technical Details
+
+### Entity IDs
+- `HandheldCamera` - The camera item
+- `Photo` - The photo item (before framing)
+- `PhotoFrame` - The framed photo (wallmount)
+
+### Spawning Items
+Use these commands as an admin:
+- `/spawn HandheldCamera` - Spawn a camera
+- `/spawn Photo` - Spawn a photo item
+- `/spawn PhotoFrame` - Spawn a framed photo
+
+### Audio
+- Camera uses: `/Audio/Machines/shutter.ogg`
+- Photo framing: `/Audio/Effects/poster_being_set.ogg`
+- Photo destruction: `/Audio/Effects/glass_break1.ogg`
+
+### Sprites
+- Camera: `Objects/Devices/camera.rsi`
+- Photo: `Objects/Devices/photo.rsi`
+- Frame: `Structures/Wallmounts/photo_frames.rsi`
+
+## Notes
+- Photos are placeholders with simple colored sprites
+- Future enhancements could include actual screenshot capture
+- Photos can be destroyed by dealing 10+ damage to them
