- You're right, I did forget another control- camera movements, as in view cameras.
-
- The camera is a machine for recording light. The magnitude and focus of the
- light recorded can be controlled by focus, aperture, shutter speed. What you do
- externally to affect the steadiness, subject, amount of light available, is all
- external to the camera's job, no matter how many features it has.
-
- What can be done while the light is being recorded does not affect that, and I
- haven't seen the camera yet that will allow you to control the subject :-)
