Take the argument further. Our vision is just our rods and cones reacting to the light striking them. Which is kinda analogous to film.
But I'd also argue that we never really see a raw image. Our brain takes the raw image information and transforms it, and this is kinda analogous (although stretching it a bit) to the processing smart phones and digital cameras do.
So, you know we're back to the matrix argument. What is real?
Your eyes really just are your brain.
