DIGITAL CAMERAS

The Media Center has a SONY Mavica FD digital camera that may be lent out to individuals who have made advanced reservations with Media Staff. This camera requires a floppy disk which must be provided by the borrower. In most cases it is not necessary to lend out the camera overnight, however, it is possible to take out the camera for up to 24 hours if a secure location can be verified for overnight storage.

As with other Media Center equipment requests please notify Bret Boudi by email if you want to check out a camera. A confirmation email will be sent back to you once the reservation has been confirmed.

Please note that the Media Center staff maintain priority use of the digital cameras and in emergency situations reserve the right to cancel your reservation and reschedule it for a later time.

A 15 minute training session must be scheduled for first-time users immediately prior to picking up the camera.

VIDEO CAMERAS

Faculty or staff who want to request the use of our portable video camera may contact Michael Smith by email at least 1 week prior to their reservation date. The Media Center will not provide video tapes to requestors; please be sure to make arrangements for video tapes through your department prior to the date you wish to tape.

A 15 minute training session must be scheduled for first time users immediately prior to picking up the camera.

Video cameras cannot be held overnight and must be returned before the end of the business day they have been taken out. For special cases that require off-campus use, the camera must have an off-campus equipment release form signed by Bret Boudi.
