But it can be patched to work under System 6.  Here are the details. 
I've done it, and it works wonderfully.

Subject: Camera DA patch

I posted this Camera DA fix to comp.sys.mac quite a while ago and
the response was favorable so here is an encore.  Apparently Camera
fails in newer systems because it attempts to call SysBeep at interrupt
level.  The fix is to change these calls to NOPs as follows:

3f3c 0005 a9c8 --> 4e71 4e71 4e71

I believe there are three occurrences that must be changed.  Use Fedit
or ResEdit or whatever you have that allows file editing.
