Güneşin doğuşunu dijital fotoğraf makinemle kaydediyorum.

A word-by-word breakdown is:

• Güneşin = of the sun / the sun’s
• doğuşunu = its rising / the sunrise (as the object of the verb)
• dijital = digital
• fotoğraf = photo / photograph
• makinemle = with my camera
• kaydediyorum = I am recording / I am capturing

So the sentence is literally something like:

I am recording the sun’s rising with my digital camera.

In natural English, that is usually:

I am recording the sunrise with my digital camera.

The ending -in is the genitive ending, which often means of or shows possession.

• güneş = sun
• güneşin = of the sun / the sun’s

Here it connects to doğuşu:

• güneşin doğuşu = the sun’s rise / the sunrise

This is a very common Turkish structure:

• çocuğun kitabı = the child’s book
• evin kapısı = the door of the house
• güneşin doğuşu = the sun’s rise

So Güneşin is there because doğuşu belongs to or is associated with the sun.

doğuşunu has several parts:

• doğ- = root related to being born / rising
• -uş = a noun-forming suffix, making something like rising or rise
• -u = third-person possessive, giving his/her/its rising
• -nu = accusative after a possessive ending

So:

• doğuş = rise / rising
• doğuşu = its rise / its rising
• doğuşunu = its rise as a specific direct object

In this sentence, güneşin doğuşu is a possessed noun phrase:

• güneşin doğuşu = the sun’s rise
• güneşin doğuşunu = the sun’s rise as the thing being recorded

Turkish often marks a specific, definite direct object with the accusative.

Here, the speaker is recording a particular thing:

• the sunrise

So Turkish uses the accusative on the object:

• Güneşin doğuşunu kaydediyorum = I am recording the sunrise

Compare the general idea:

• kitap okuyorum = I am reading a book / I read books
• kitabı okuyorum = I am reading the book

In your sentence, the sunrise is a definite, identifiable event, so accusative marking is natural.

Because doğuşu is the base possessed form, but in this sentence it is also the direct object of kaydediyorum.

So you need:

1. the possessed form: doğuşu
2. the accusative object marking: doğuşunu

This happens a lot with possessed nouns:

• kitabı = his/her/its book
• kitabını = his/her/its book as a direct object

Likewise:

• doğuşu = its rise
• doğuşunu = its rise as the object

The n is a buffer consonant that appears before some suffixes after possessed forms.

That n is a buffer consonant.

When a noun already has a possessive ending and another vowel-initial suffix is added, Turkish often inserts -n- to make pronunciation smoother.

So:

• doğuşu
  • accusative -u
• becomes doğuşu-n-u

This is not a separate meaning by itself; it is mainly there to connect the endings naturally.

You will see this in other examples too:

• araba-sı = his/her car
• araba-sı-nı = his/her car as the object

Because makinemle means with my camera, not just with a camera or with the camera.

Breakdown:

• makine = machine / camera
  In this context, with fotoğraf makinesi, it means camera
• makinem = my camera
• makinemle = with my camera

So the -m is the first-person possessive ending:

• makinem = my camera

Then -le means with:

• makinemle = with my camera

If you said makineyle, that would mean with a/the camera, but not specifically my camera.

-le / -la means with.

It can be written as a separate word in some contexts, but in modern standard Turkish it is very commonly attached to the noun:

• kalemle = with a pen
• arabayla = by car / with the car
• annemle = with my mother

So:

• makinemle = with my camera

The form changes by vowel harmony:

• -le
• -la

Here it is -le because that matches the vowels in the word.

Turkish commonly uses fotoğraf makinesi for camera, especially for a still camera.

So:

• fotoğraf makinesi = camera
  literally: photo machine

Then:

• fotoğraf makinem = my camera
• fotoğraf makinemle = with my camera

A learner might expect kamera, but kamera is often more associated with a video camera or a general camera device depending on context.
Here, dijital fotoğraf makinesi clearly means a digital camera.

kaydediyorum is in the present continuous tense, often used for:

• something happening right now
• something currently in progress
• sometimes near-future or ongoing actions, depending on context

Here it means:

I am recording

The ending is:

• -iyor = present continuous
• -um = I

So:

• kaydediyor-um = I am recording

This is a good question because the dictionary form is kaydetmek.

When this verb is conjugated, it becomes:

• kaydediyorum
• kaydediyor
• kaydediyoruz

This happens because of a stem change when the suffix is added. Turkish has some verbs where the final consonant changes before a vowel-initial ending.

So:

• dictionary form: kaydetmek = to record / to save
• present continuous: kaydediyorum = I am recording

This is something you mostly learn as part of the verb’s conjugation pattern. Another very common example is:

• gitmek = to go
• gidiyorum = I am going

So kaydediyorum is the normal correct form.

No. kaydetmek is quite broad. It can mean:

• to record
• to save
• to register
• to capture

Depending on context, it can be used for:

• recording sound
• recording video
• saving a computer file
• storing information
• capturing an image or moment

In your sentence, it works well for capturing/recording the sunrise with a digital camera.

Turkish word order is often more flexible than English, but the most neutral pattern is:

Subject + object + other details + verb

Your sentence follows that pattern nicely:

• Güneşin doğuşunu = object
• dijital fotoğraf makinemle = instrument / means
• kaydediyorum = verb

The subject ben = I is omitted because the verb ending already shows it.

So Turkish does not need to say Ben unless you want emphasis.

A very literal order is:

The sunrise of the sun, with my digital camera, I am recording.

That sounds strange in English, but it is normal in Turkish.

Because Turkish verbs usually show the subject clearly through their endings.

In:

• kaydediyorum

the ending -um tells you the subject is I.

So Ben is optional.

• (Ben) kaydediyorum = I am recording

Turkish often drops subject pronouns when they are already clear from the verb. This is very common and natural.

Yes, that is grammatically correct.

Adding Ben gives extra emphasis, something like:

I am recording the sunrise with my digital camera.

It may sound like you are contrasting yourself with someone else, or simply emphasizing the subject.

Without Ben, the sentence is more neutral and natural in many contexts.

They express the same idea, but Turkish builds it differently.

English has the single word:

• sunrise

Turkish often expresses that as a possessed noun phrase:

• güneşin doğuşu
• literally: the sun’s rising

So instead of one compact noun, Turkish uses:

• possessor: güneşin
• possessed noun: doğuşu

This kind of structure is very common in Turkish and is worth getting used to.

Yes. dijital is an adjective meaning digital.

It modifies fotoğraf makinem:

• dijital fotoğraf makinem = my digital camera

In Turkish, adjectives come before the noun, just as in English:

• büyük ev = big house
• kırmızı araba = red car
• dijital fotoğraf makinesi = digital camera

Also, Turkish adjectives do not change form for singular/plural or gender.

Potentially, yes, depending on context, because kaydetmek can mean both record and save.

But with:

• güneşin doğuşunu
• dijital fotoğraf makinemle

the most natural interpretation is:

I am recording / capturing the sunrise with my digital camera.

If the context were about files or storage, saving might be possible, but here recording or capturing is the clearer reading.

The biggest grammar points are:

1. Genitive + possessed noun

   • güneşin doğuşu = the sun’s rise

2. Accusative on a definite object

   • doğuşunu = the specific thing being recorded

3. Possessive + instrumental

   • makinemle = with my camera

4. Present continuous verb

   • kaydediyorum = I am recording

If you understand those four pieces, the whole sentence becomes much easier to follow.
