Cine Camera Views
The first all-metal cine camera is the Bell & Howell Standard of 1911-12. One of the most complicated models is the Mitchell-Technicolor Beam Splitting Three-Strip Camera of 1932. With it, three colour separation originals are obtained behind a purple, a green, and a red light filter, the latter being part of one of the three different raw materials in use.
Multiple synchronized cameras may be used and the films then projected simultaneously, either on a single three-image screen (Cinerama) or upon multiple screens forming a complete circle, with gaps between screens through which the projectors illuminate an opposite screen. (See Circle-Vision 360°.)convex and concave mirrors are used in cameras as well as mirrors.
Note that on cameras which offer through the lens focusing, a zoom lens should be zoomed to the longest focal length for focusing and then reset to the required focal length for filming. Eumig made a number of cine cameras with servofocusing which selects the ideal focus depending on the zoom setting - in effect, they have fixed focus zoom lenses. These are much easier and quicker to use, but not as versatile. (Eumig Eumigette, Eumig Mini 3, Eumig Viennette)
A flash socket is primarily used to provide flash illumination for single frame shots by synchronising the cine camera shutter with a flash gun. However, it can also be used to provide a pulse for a synchronised sound system. Few camera manufacturers made these - they were mainly provided by third parties. Due to the complexities of equipment and techniques, they are of little value to the average user, being more suited to the expert production team.
