Camera Basics
Across
- 1. temperature the overall color cast of nominally white light, expressed in degrees on the Kelvin scale
- 3. the system used for broadcasting high-definition TV in North America
- 4. a lens in front of an internal viewfinder that can be adjusted to compensate for the eyesight of the operator
- 5. a mechanical camera support system carried or worn by the operator that permits perfectly steady hand-held shooting
- 8. data storage on small, thin cards that contain no moving parts
- 10. the system used for broadcasting traditional TV in North America
- 11. supported by tripods, stabilizers, or dollies
- 13. rolling camera support
- 16. the number of images per second recorded by the camera
- 18. a gray filter that reduces the incoming light without otherwise changing it, typically supplied in one-to-four stop densities-many cameras have ND built in
Down
- 2. a video camera converts incoming light and then translate it into an electrical video signal
- 6. two fields are interlaced to make a complete video frame
- 7. the process of combing two fields to create one full frame of video image
- 8. a particular aperture setting
- 9. the resistance of a tripod head to panning or tilting
- 12. the opening in the lens that admits light
- 14. the distance range, near-to-far, within which subjects appear sharp in the image
- 15. a three-legged camera support that permits leveling and turning the camera
- 17. one-half of the information in a single frame of video, arranged either as the odd lines or the even line
