Camera system
A camera and all the equipment used with it for taking pictures. A camera system consists, typically, of the camera itself, a range finder, an exposure meter, the photographic film or plates and the operator. An aerial camera system also includes a timing device or intervalometer for controlling the shutter, a vacuum pump if the camera holds the film in place by vacuum, and a source of electric power for driving the camera and other items. The aircraft may be considered a part of the system if it is used only for aerial photography. The items other than the camera are called accessories.
