Most of the katakana I used was for onomatopoeia (found almost all on this page http://www.japansugoi.com/wordpress/common-japanese-onomatopoeia-word-sounds-found-in-manga/).
onomatopoeia
ピカ - sparkle
ヒュ - flash
シュ - falling
タ - running
ガシャン - crashing
ポロ - crying
loanwords
カメラ - camera
キヤノン - camera company, Canon
I chose the words because I felt they fit what I was trying to portray best. The loanwords were used because a camera was the focus of the story. The onomatopoeia was used in order to emphasize the features of the camera, and to dramatize the last panel of the comic as well as the buildup to it.
