Cameras

There are several digital cameras available for checkout from the Media Center. Cameras, memory cards, USB cables, video cables, and memory card readers are all checked out individually. Due to the limited number of each of these items, please return them to the Media Center as soon as possible after you are done using them. When returning memory cards, make sure you have deleted your photos from the card.

We have several Sony Cyber-shot cameras in a few different models. Some work with AA batteries - either alkaline or rechargeable. One model uses a model specific battery. If batteries need recharging, please let the Media Center know when you return the camera so we can have it ready for the next user. The best way to offload the pictures to your computer from the memory card is by using a memory card reader which plugs into your CPU and does not require battery power (as does the camera).

The Sony Mavicas are the oldest model camera we have and use floppy disks. This might be a good choice for student use during a project.

=Video Cameras= //Also available for checkout from the media center are video cameras.//
 * We have one small format VHS video camera. The small tape will play on a standard VHS player with the cassette adapter also available for checkout. It is the staff member's responsibility to copy the recording to a standard size VHS tape.
 * We have two digital video cameras for checkout which record on DV tape. If staff members wish to borrow this camera for personal use such as recording lessons for National Boards, it is the staff member's responsibility to supply the DV tape.
