Etymology
Magazine for film in a camera also comes from the same Arabic root makhzan 'store' because it is a container that holds and feeds the film. Like a gun magazine that feeds bullets, a film magazine feeds film into the camera. So a camera magazine is the part that stores and supplies film for exposure.
