It should go without saying that most Camera Tricks don't have any logical reason to exist if there isn't a camera to speak of. Yet sometimes, drawn or computer-generated mediums like animation or comics will include a shot that looks as if it had been filmed on a set with an actual camera, using an unusual lens or other camera trick, in order to emulate the effect.
In addition to giving the moment a special emphasis, when well done the result looks enough like the corresponding live-action film moment that the viewer is not likely to consciously notice it. Alternatively, it can be used for a film-within-the-film, such as an out-of-focus effect to show amateur film-making, or scratch effects to indicate old film. Admittedly, this has become easier in recent years with the advent of computer-assisted and -generated animation, but the stylistic technique first appeared years ago, when such distortions and effects had to be meticulously created by hand.
This can also be used in comics, as the page image illustrates.
Common types of False Camera Effects include lens flares, Fish-Eye Lens shots, wide-angle shots, simulated scanning lines, the Vertigo Effect, and Rack Focus. If the action bumps or shakes the "camera", it's Camera Abuse. Ominous Visual Glitch can be related. Most often, these effects are replicated because of The Coconut Effect: for instance, we think of swirling multiple exposures as being "what inebriation looks like", even if eyes don't work that way.
There are a few exceptions, however, where false camera effects can be used to add realism by better replicating the eye's mechanisms than standard perspective effects:
"False" Fish Eye Lens shots use a type of drawn perspective that replicates the curved shape of the retina and the curved lens of the eye. While much more complicated than linear perspective, it creates a better sense of depth and scale, and allows a more immersive field of view.
Gaussian and bloom effects and a single pair of overlapping exposures for a drugged or concussed character- these replicate impaired ability to focus the eye's lens, contract the pupil, and synchronize one's eyes.
The Depth of Field effect depicted in the page image, with or without double vision effects. note This one is easy to demonstrate to yourself in real life: place a finger about a hand's width in front of your nose and look at it. Now look at something behind it. Now look at something behind that. Some people may also notice "double vision" on distant objects when looking at their finger and doubling of their finger when looking at the distant objects. The brain sometimes edits this out for people with a strongly dominant eye, however.

One of the best examples occurs in the Metroid Prime Trilogy. When the environment is very bright, you'll sometimes see a ghostly reflection of Samus' face on the screen. There are a few other effects, too — the screen fogs up when near sources of steam, and raindrops dot the screen if you look up in rainy areas. These are all justified because the protagonist really is supposed to be viewing the world through a piece of glass (she wears a helmet).

In Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, looking around in First Person View when outside can give you a lens flare which shifts, brightens and vanishes as you turn your gaze towards and away from the sun - and changes the background noise to make it sound like it was shot through a SteadiCam. The game also animates water dribbling down the camera lens if you get it wet, and even fogging up if you take it from a wet environment to a dry one.

The Metal Gear games had several.
In Metal Gear Solid, the camera lens will freeze over in the coldest area of the game (the permafrost stages, such as Vulcan Raven's boss fight room). This is repeated in The Twin Snakes and 4 with more visible, realistic frost spirals.
In Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, looking around in First Person View when outside can give you a lens flare which shifts, brightens and vanishes as you turn your gaze towards and away from the sun - and changes the background noise to make it sound like it was shot through a SteadiCam. The game also animates water dribbling down the camera lens if you get it wet, and even fogging up if you take it from a wet environment to a dry one.
If Snake gets hit in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, the camera gets noisy every time he's struck.

In the beginning of BioShock when you are swimming through the ocean, there are little water drops on the screen, as if you were looking through a wet camera lens, when in fact you are seeing what the protagonist sees. So unless he is wearing glasses, it makes no sense.

Outlast plays with this trope. The standard first-person view appears normal, with little to no camera effects. However, the player character has a handheld video camera with optional night vision. Anything viewed through the camera has a grain filter, plus a green tint when in night vision mode. The REC and battery life are also displayed when viewing through the camera. And lastly, you drop the camera at one point, and the lens is cracked and distorted by the time you find it again.

In the Kamen Rider fighting game Climax Heroes, the Showa Kamen Ridersnote Those from the 70s and 80s have a special ability that adds a pale sepia tint and film grain to the screen, making it look like a Japanese TV show from the 70s. The effect lasts until they land a special move...at which point the game pauses and a Narrator gives a short expository speech about the attack, just like in the Showa-era shows.

At the Batman: The Animated Series episode "Joker's Favor", when the Joker threatens Charlie Collin's family by phone, we see the camera "blurries" on Charlie inside his house while his wife and son scene outside the house "focus" on them, then when he hangs the phone, the focus is on Charlie again. This is Emphasis by Focus, showing the audience that Charlie has to occult the peril he faces from his family, visually showing the Dramatic Irony.

In the Sym-Bionic Titan episode "Under the Three Moons", when we see Kristin practicing her martial arts, there's a shot in which the "camera" appears to shake.

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker dims the image whenever the normal third-person camera is pointed directly at the sun, presumably to emulate the effect of a bright light on the image on a digital camera. This effect does not appear when the Telescope, the Picto Box, or bare first-person view is used.

In Metal Gear Solid, the camera lens will freeze over in the coldest area of the game (the permafrost stages, such as Vulcan Raven's boss fight room). This is repeated in The Twin Snakes and 4 with more visible, realistic frost spirals.

The new Battlestar Galactica has this by the truckloads. Nearly every scene "shot" in space has at least one shot with fake camera effects added to make it seem as though a real cameraman was trying to keep up with the action. Cue the Shaky Cam, Lens Flare, focus adjustments, and various zooming levels as though scanning for objects to pay attention to. And this is a time when CGI itself already looks very lifelike on its own. Best of all is when debris from an explosion seems to hit the camera and break it, in a completely CG shot.
