Moving a camera left or right is known as panning.
What are wireless IP cameras used for?
The term ip camera refers to security type cameras that are most often used to keep watch on hot spots around town, around a business, or around a home. They are is short surveillance type cameras.
What are the rules of photography?
There are many. One is the rule of thirds. This is a rule of composition where the most important features in the photograph are most pleasing to look at if they fall in a third when you section off the photograph in three even sections both horizonatlly and vertically.

Who is the first person to have there picture taken?
Joseph Nicéphore Niépce did, in 1826. Giovanni Battista della Porta in his great Magiœ Naturalis of 1558 does lay some emphasis on the use of the camera obscura (literally dark room in Latin), a tent or room with a small hole in one wall which optically projects an upside-down image of the scene outside to the opposite wall (all modern photographic are simply small camera obscuras), but della Porta considered the camera obscura primarily an instrument of , and certainly did not invent chemical photography. That had to wait nearly three more centuries.
Linear perspective had come into widespread use in Italy in the 15th century. The camera obscura aided artists in creating more precise depictions. Sketches made from the projected image in a camera obscura had more exact spatial perspective because a three dimensional scene was accurately projected onto a two dimensional surface. The resulting sketches might, in a considerable stretch, be called "photographic" insofar as they were made from an optical projection, but a true chemical (literally light writing, from the Greek) had to wait until the summer of 1826, when Joseph Nicéphore Niépce is credited with producing the world's first chemical photograph using a obscura.
Niépce had made photographic negatives on paper with a camera as early as 1814, but was not able to make them permanent. The first permanently fixed was that of his 1826 view through his window at Gras.

Does the Sony DCR-TRV260 allow for playback of old 8mm and hi8 tapes?
No, not if the old tapes are in analog rather than digital format. See the review of this DCC at http://www.easycamcorders.com/content/Quick-Review-Camcorder-Sony-DCR-TRV280.htm: "How ... am I going to watch those [old analog] tapes?... Not here, you re not. The DCR-TRV280 does not read analog 8mm. For that, you need to step up to the DCR-TRV480." Also see review at http://www.camcorderinfo.com/content/Sony-DCR-TRV280-Camcorder-Review.htm These reviews were somewhat disparaging, however Consumer Reports, in their 2007 Buying Guide, called this unit a Best Buy (p. 233). It seems to me to be the cheapest way to get into digital video with a reasonably high quality and versatile camera. No, not if the old tapes are in analog rather than digital format.

What are some brands of cameras for children?
There are many companies that manufacture childrens' cameras. Some of these companies into the Digital Blue Lego Camera, the Discovery Kids Camera, the Fisher Price Kid-Touch Camera and many more.
Can you recover pictures that have been deleted on the camera?
Stop any activity on the digital camera immediately. Do not take any further pictures until you have removed the memory card that you have deleted pics from. If you insist on writing more data back to the camera memory card, chances of recovery will be greatly decreased. Then connect the card to your personal computer which has installed a digital camera photo recovery software for a scan.
How many pictures does a 8 MB memory stick hold?
It depends entirely upon the resolution of the pictures. If the resolution is 1.3 megapixels, you're talking roughly 30 pictures. It could be a whole lot fewer the higher the resolutions you get.
Where can Minolta cameras be purchased?
Minolta cameras can be purchased from numerous locations. Some of those include Amazon, Konica Minolta, and eBay. Details and prices for the numerous models available can be found on their respective websites. Minolta cameras are only available second-hand now generally as Minolta ceased operation in 2006.
How has photography and micro filming influenced genealogy?
In ancient times (before digital photography) it took so long to take a photograph that people weren't able to procreate - often they had to sit perfectly still for several days while a photograph was taken. It was a commonly accepted 'rule of thumb' that the more photos one had taken, the fewer children one was likely to have. Also, the chemicals used in early flash photography and photographic processing (development) are now known to cause sterility and incredulity in poseurs.
Does CCTV make people feel safe?
coursee babess.
because they can see the shizzle dt happens n stuff.
n cn report any murders they see.
n they are always in control of the CCTV cameras with the police
soo they are safe.

because they think they are invading them on their privacy.
What type of film does Bruce weber use in his camera?
Weber seems to usually use and Pentax 67 and a Polaroid Land camera.
To answer this, you have to know what the megapixel count means. The "megapixel" count is actually the number of receptors on the sensor, in millions. 1.3 megapixels means 1.3 million light receptors on the sensor. The number of total megapixels is the number of pixels it has horizontally, times the number it has vertically.
Now, each receptor you have, counts for 1 pixel in the image which comes off the camera. (It so happens that the camera actually has to make up some of these values; the reason why is beyond the scope of a short answer. This means that "megapixel" counts are lies, but that's okay; all camera manufacturers lie equally about this, so it won't affect the calculations here.)
The size of a picture you will get from a 1.3 megapixel camera will depend on your aspect ratio. A point-and-shoot camera will typically have a 4:3 aspect ratio; so to get the width and height in pixels you use:
( 1300000 / (3.0 / 4.0)) ** .5 = 1316
( 1300000 / (4.0 / 3.0)) ** .5 = 987 pixels
So you have a 1316x987 picture. Or, if your camera uses the 3:2 aspect ratio (common on digital SLRs, but seen elsewhere), you'll have just about a 1396x930 picture. How big will this print out?
* At 100dpi: this will be a fairly poor-quality print. You'll either have a 13-inch or 14-inch print from this, depending on your aspect ratio (above). * At 200dpi: this will be acceptable quality if you're not looking too hard. This will give you a 6 or 7 inch print. * At 300dpi: you'll get about a four-and-a-half-inch print from either.
As far as file sizes go, this is entirely dependent on how much JPEG compression you use (assuming that you're saving in JPEG, which you should), and even (on some cameras) the kind of scene you are photographing. According to one online calculator, you should see file sizes from around 256kb (at 90% quality) to around 512kb (at 100% quality). An uncompressed 24-bit bitmap would be about 3.9mb.
How many pictures on 4GB memory card in 8 mega pixel digital camera?
It will hold up to 1,164 8 mega pixel images. However, the settings on the camera can be changed so that the camera takes pictures of a different size. The same memory card can hold over 4,000 2 mega pixel images. Changing these settings will affect the quality and size of the pictures you take.
Where is the energy in a camera?
The energy in the camera is stored in its batteries. So when you take out a camera's batteries, it won't work.
How does spy camera watching work?
A wireless spy camera is a very small mini camera that you can use without connecting wires to a recorder. The camera will come with a receiver which connects to your TV for viewing. You can also connect the receiver to your VCR or to a DVR for recording.
Usually powered by a 9V battery which yields approximately 4 hours. The site below has their own rechargeable battery packs that will power a mini cam for up to 12 hours.
You can find a good mini wireless spy camera at the website below.

How can you tell if the signature of Lou Gerig and Babe Ruth are real in a photograph?
First thing you should do is determine if the signatures are hand signed or Facsimile signatures. A preprint, or Facsimile signature is simply a photographic copy of an original signed photograph. A Facsimile signature often appears to be below the surface gloss of the photo, and the signature is often very "flat." Hold the photo up at an angle to a light source. A real signature is written on the surface of the photo, and should have a different level of reflectivity than the rest of the surface. A preprint will blend right in with the surface because it's underneath the surface gloss.
If the signatures are hand signed. Find signatures on line that have been properly authenticated, and compare them to yours. If you feel comfortable that they are authentic then proceed to have them authenticated by a reputable company.
An autograph that is not authenticated by a creditable company could sell at half the price or less than one that is. Two of the top, and most trusted authenticators are PSA/DNA, and James Spence Authentic (JSA). Collectors will pay more for signatures authenticated by either one. It may sound odd but in some cases PSA/DNA, and JSA authenticated signatures may sell higher than a Letter of authenticity from an unknown or less trusted authenticator that witnessed the signing even though PSA/DNA, and JSA did not. It's just a matter of collectors trust, and collectors will pay more for it.
Check the respective websites Show Schedule to see if they will be in the area that you live. They also do business through the mail. But before spending money on having the autograph authenticated do your homework, and compare the signatures.
For more information on Facsimile signatures I will leave a link below. I will also leave a link to Babe Ruth, and Lou Gehrig signatures for comparison.

How much revenue does a NFL stadium make each game?
Year opened: 2009
Stadium revenue: $369 million*
Average ticket price: $90
Luxury suites: 200
Club seats: 15,000
Stadium capacity: 80,000
Before Cowboys fans can pay $340 per game for a club seat in the new stadium, they must fork over anywhere from $16,000 to $150,000 for a "personal seat license," which guarantees the right to buy season tickets for 30 years. By September 2008, the Cowboys' club seat PSLs had already generated at least $120 million.
