The '''Banana Fairy's Camera''' is the magical camera that players receive from the [[Banana Fairy Princess]] in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. The purpose of the camera is to take pictures of the [[Banana Fairy|Banana Fairies]]. It is the only method to catch Banana Fairies, as it traps them inside special banana skin photographs. The camera is fueled by [[Banana Camera Film]]. The more pictures the players take of Banana Fairies, the more secrets and extras they unlock in the game. Any [[Kong]] can use the camera.

It is used by first holding {{button|n64|Z}}, then pressing {{button|n64|Cdown}}, and finally pressing {{button|n64|B}} to snap a photo. In the mode, there is a face at the top-right corner. By default it is a sad, red face, but when the Banana Fairy's Camera's lens aligns with a Banana Fairy, the face turns into a green, happy one. If the camera lens misses a Banana Fairy, the game display an X mark over the printed photograph, in contrast to displaying a check mark when it successfully aligns with a Banana Fairy. Upon being captured in a photograph, the Banana Fairy replenishes the Kongs' item supply and increases the maximum [[Crystal Coconut]] and Banana Camera Film supply by one, and then leaves.
