How to use a video camera
|
Video cameras are used primarily in two modes. The first, characteristic of much early television, is what might be called a live broadcast, where the camera feeds real time images directly to a screen for immediate observation; The second is to have the images recorded to a storage device for archiving or further processing. The main function of the video camera is filming, but this tool also lets you taking pictures even when shooting. It can record images and sound on a single medium. There are two types of cameras, the analog camera lets you record your video on tape (Video 8, VHS), and digital camera that record information in digital compressed format that can then be saved on the computer. After filming with a digital camera and after loading it on your computer, you can record your movie on DVD or hard drive. The small format digital cameras for amateur are called "Camcorder" (video camera recorder). In order to differentiate a camcorder from other devices that are capable of recording video, like cell phones and compact digital cameras, a camcorder is generally identified as a portable device having video capture and recording as its primary function. |
