Camera Functions-Lens-Imaging Device/Pickup Device/Sensor
-Sensors:*CCD-charge coupled device*CMOS-complementary metal oxide semiconductor-Pixels-Chips
-Viewfinder
Camera Chain
Lens-main part of cameraZoom-doesn’t look good unless there’s a
purposeFocus-should not look blurry; focus in on
eyes or main subjectGain-sensors that trick the camera into
thinking they are getting more light
Electronic FeaturesScanning HDTV – 720p and 1080i- true high
definitionAspect Ratio – 16x9, 4x3Shutter speed-avoid blurrinessWhite Balance-sets your colors by adjusting
RGB; red, green, and blueViewfinderTally LightHue/Saturation/Brightness
HDTV Lines of ResolutionResolution-sharpness of the
picture/determined by number of scanning lines
HDTV 720 & 1080/720p and 1080iI=interlaced scanningP-progressive scanning
Contrast ControlHow much light or darkness to let inAvoid extreme contrastsBest ratio is 50:1 – “brightest picture area
can be only 50 times brighter than darkest area”
Monitor it with a waveform monitor
LensesZoom range – degree to which you can
change the focal length Expressed as 50:1 50x1; maximum
magnification of the image
Focal Length-Distance from the optical center to the front
surface of the imaging deviceWideNormal Telephoto
DistancesFocus: distance from the lens to the camera’s imaging
deviceMinimum Object Distance: point where the camera is as
close as it can get and still focusCalibrate-keep it in focus during a zoom; focus in on eyesDepth of field: objects are in focus at different distancesF-stop/Aperture/Iris: how much light goes through the lens
Higher the numbers, the smaller the aperture; lens closed considerably
Lower the numbers, the larger the aperture, lens is wide open
Camera MovesPan - move from side to sideTilt - move up and downTruck - move forward and back on wheelsCant - tilt camera sidewaysZoom - move in and out with lens; narrow
or wide
Who Shoots the Video?If YOU don’t, it doesn’t show up in the
media.PhotojournalistPhotographerVideojournalistVideographerMultimedia journalist (MMJ)ReporterGatekeeper
Camera MountsTripod - three legged mountMonopod - single pole to mount cameraMounting head - connects the camera to
tripodTripod plate-Every tripod has a different
oneCamera stabilizing system - vest holds
camera
Keeping it SteadyImpossible if breathingLean against wall or treeShoulder mounts helpKeep elbows inNatural tripods are greatMove only for 1)action or 2)
