A Method of Measuring the Steadiness of Motion-Picture Cameras

A. C. Robertson

The unsteadiness of cameras can be evaluated by a double-exposure technique using a “step-wedge” shaped object for the first target and a simple bar for the second. The results are obtained in the form of individual, whole values. Hence, simple counting methods are used in analyzing the data rather than complicated measuring equipment. Consequently there is less fatigue for the observer. The action of some cameras is described, and their errors are analyzed by the use of this technique.
