What is a "lens cap"?
A lens cap is a protective cover that attaches to the front of a camera lens to shield it from dust, scratches, and other potential damage when the camera is not in use. It helps keep the lens clean and free from debris, which can affect image quality. Lens caps are usually made of plastic and are designed to be easily removed and replaced as needed.
