I’ve always wondered how a camera can capture the image in it it’s view finder almost exactly as the human eye will see it.

It depends on the type of photo.
If it’s a traditional film photo, then the light enters the lens and then gets focused on the film.
That film has a layer that is a mixture of chemicals that react when exposed to light (which is why film has to be stored in dark rolls and then has to be developed in a dark room). So essentially you’re just exposing those chemicals to just the light you want to capture as the image, and they react forming that image.
Digital cameras work in a similar way, but instead of a chemical reaction, it’s an electronic sensor getting hit by the light that saves the information about the mind of light that is hitting it.
