captured/caught on film/camera

0One of the world's rarest rhinos has been caught on film for the first time on Borneo island. 02br

00I believe the word 'caught' can be substituted by the word 'captured' with no changes in meaning. However, when 'film' is replaced by 'camera', there is a change in meaning whereby 'camera' means the subject was captured in photos and not in video.02br

0 I guess the reason the word 'capture' can be used is because the shutter of the conventional analog camera traps/captures light. Hope that makes more sense to you. But I could be wrong. 0-
