### equipment:

Camera
* Many cameras have a combination of optical and digital zoom
  - input and output ports, into which video and audio cables can be attached
  - leak light when their foam light seals deteriorate
  - provide both optical and digital zoom
  - rely on the screen as the sole viewfinder
* Many cameras use four AA batteries
  - smaller sensors
* Most cameras connect directly to a desktop or notebook computer
  - develop defective pixels as they age
  - feature some kind of zoom lens
* Most cameras have a built-in light exposure meter that is used to determine the correct exposure
  - shutter that enables the user to temporarily block video transmission
  - table on the lens that indicates depth of field for different lens settings
  - lenses
  - optical finders that are just like the ones found in film cameras
  - their focus point in the middle of the viewfinder
  - operate on AA batteries
  - provide auto-focusing and exposure controls based on the entire image
  - use AA batteries, of which there are several types
* Most cameras use a removable memory device of some type
  - single CCD chip to capture and transmit image information
  - an averge of all of the light that falls on the frame of the camera
  - memory cards
* Some cameras accept AA alkaline and AA rechargeable batteries
  - allow for recharging while they are in the camera
* Some cameras automatically adjust exposure for the lightest area
  - turn on the flash in dim light
  - avoid red eye effects by using the pre-flash function of many flashes
  - carry an infrared focusing mark on the lens focusing ring
* Some cameras come with rechargeable batteries
  - universal DC voltage in connections
  - fail to stay focused on objects in the sky
  - fire a series of preflashes to shrink the subject's pupils and reduce red-eye
* Some cameras have a built-in flash, while others have a flash shoe for holding a flash accessory
  - mode that sort of electronic motor drive
  - separate button that locks the focus until a picture has been taken
  - user-programmable mode that's held in memory
  - an 'aperture ring'
  - both internal and removable memory
  - different names in different areas of the world
  - internal non-removable storage
  - manual controls for audio input, while others do it automatically
  - no LCD panel, and instead use a simple optical viewfinder
  - one aspect ratio for the image sensor and another for the viewfinder
* Some cameras have the ability to turn off antiblooming
  - capacity to take very short video clips and some can even capture sound
  - offer both optical and digital zooms
  - process their signals more slowly than others
  - record a digital image
  - rely on a sensor on the flash itself
* Some cameras store the collected information in internal memory
  - photos on removable memory disks that plug into a computer for downloading
  - use their own proprietary format to store images
* also allow parents to monitor their children on the Internet
  - record ghostly energy as orbs and other oddities, called anomalies
* angles, lighting and character placement can affect the perception of a story.
* are devices.
* are located in cabinets
  - drawers
  - suitcases
  - precision machinery
  - smaller and easier to hide
* are used for photographs
  - pictures
* can collect energy from the emitted beams, showing areas of increased or decreased activity
  - theoretically move along any dimension in three-dimensional space
* capture images.
* come in all shapes and sizes.
* control the amount of light taken in a picture by two basic ways.
* have depth
  - flashs
  - ranges
* includes aperture
  - camera lenses
  - lens hoods
  - sprockets
* is photographic equipment
* like to fall on exposed lenses.
* make ghosts out of people.
* mean less privacy in public places, but most people prefer more safety.
* see light as it is reflected from an object.
* take photographs
* tells all Visible light is just a tiny portion of the total electromagnetic spectrum.
* use a lens to collect light and make a picture on the surface of the film
  - light rays to deposit a representation of visible objects onto a surface
* utilize the reflected light, or light coming off the subject, for metering purposes.
* vary widely in optical quality and features
  - resolution, accuracy, speed and price
* work by projecting images onto a flat piece of film.
+ Photography, Camera
  * Some cameras have an 'aperture ring'. The aperture ring is behind the lens, but in front of the shutter. The purpose of the aperture ring is to control how much light enters the camera box. The aperture ring is a flat circle with a small hole in the centre. The small hole is called the 'aperture'. The size of the aperture can be changed.
+ Wide-angle lens: Camera lenses
  * This is different for digital photography. Many cameras use smaller sensors. This means that the focal lengths have an angle of view that is different. That way, an 18mm lens mounted on a digital camera of this type gives an angle of view of the 28mm wide-angle lens, namely 75 degrees, for a multiplier of 1.5.
