ABSTRACT

Video cameras today come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes that suit all kinds of different situations. Television and film competitions are being won by directors who are using cameras that can be purchased at a local electronics store. Automatic camera circuitry can help, particularly when shooting under difficult conditions, and can save the camera operator from having to worry about technicalities. Digital Single Lens Reflex cameras have become a formidable force in the video world today. While they were originally designed as a still camera that has some video capability, directors are using them to shoot corporate videos, commercials, television network shows, and even feature films. An increasing number of consumer video cameras are fitted with a lens system that has a digital zoom. The type of image sensor in a camera greatly affects the quality of the image in its resolution, picture defects, and limitations.
