Film, Phantom. It's actually pretty difficult to digitalise film. Especially since you have to develop it in complete darkness or it is ruined and can't be used to turn into photographs at all. A hardlight computer scanning the film and then creating a wireframe copy of the weapon which would generate light would destroy the film.

It's not baffling, it's the application of real life photography to her weapon. I've developed the old style physical film before, which is what Velvet's camera is based off. It's annoying because you have to do it blind inside special tent/bag structures to prevent light from hitting the film before it's been coated in the proper chemicals.
