English has plenty of nifty features, but one omission that's always struck me is the lack of a distinct word for the 24-hour-period "day", rather than just the daytime period between sunrise and sunset. In Norwegian we have DØGN, (Norse: "dǿgn"). It sort of sounds like "deign".

Imagine you've got a camera filming in 24 frames per second, the movie standard. Now imagine you're filming a zoopraxiscope (see gif), but you're spinning it at 31 frames per second. You'd miss the individual images of the horse, it'd be in different places every single frame, it'd just be noise.
The phone camera's shutter speed operates at different frequency from the digital display's refresh rate, so the camera only records fragments of the display's image.
