Q5: Do I need to manually control a zoom lens type camera- and how?

Pan, Tilt, & Zoom Equipment FAQ
A5: It all depends on the camera. Most variable focal (varifocal) "zoom" lens cameras actually do require the user to set the optimum adjustments by hand. Some zoom cameras, like our TV-C270, have the ability to control the zoom and focus the camera with a wired remote controller from 125' away.

Q1: What is a varifocal or zoom lens camera?

Pan, Tilt, & Zoom Equipment FAQ
A1: Fixed lens cameras have a set field of view and cannot be manipulated to produce a wider or narrower angle. These are generally found as 3.6mm, 4.3mm, 8mm, 12mm, etc.. The higher the number of the focal length, the more telephoto the effect. *However- this has nothing to do with the actual size of the lens itself. You can obtain a 3.6mm lens which can range in physical size from 1mm (on a micro pinhole type camera) to the size of a soda can (for much larger security type cameras).

Why doesn’t my camera have a motorized zoom lens with wide/tele buttons?

Canon EOS Beginners' FAQ III - Lenses
Because it’s not a point and shoot. Such motorized lenses are fine for simple tiny consumer-oriented cameras, but SLRs with interchangeable lenses are meant for a different market. All Canon EF zoom lenses but one are manual zooms. That is to say you adjust the focal length either by turning a ring (two touch) or sliding the lens in and out (push-pull).

Some cameras, e.g. some Canon models, come with software that lets you snap images and adjust settings through a software user interface on you computer. For other models you may need to acquire additional software, sometimes from a third party.

As with many standards, however, not everything is entirely standardized.

Will my zoom lens work in the Camerashield?

Waterproof, Watertight Protective Cases for Laptops, Cell Ph...
I recommend you disable your zoom lens and if possible set your camera to wide angle as these take the best UW pictures unless you plan on only going after small critters and then set at macro for that dive. Ideally you want your camera lens up against the Camerashield glass to prevent your flash from reflecting within the housing causing what we call light scatter. Zoom is not very practical underwater since what you see is not the same as the camera sees.

What type of camera do I need? Digital?

SportsCAD Video Motion Analysis Software for Biomechanics in...
You can use any VHS, S-VHS, 8mm, Hi-8 or digital camera that has a "video out" port. Most VHS, S-VHS, and 8mm camcorders come with a RCA out. This works good. Hi-8 and digital camcorders usually have a s-video out port. This is better. If your camera is a digital camera, we will use the firewire port. This is the BEST. The other key factor to check on your camera is that it has a manually adjustable shutter speed. We recommend at least 1/1000th and up.
