Editing Video camera (section)

==Types and uses==
Modern video cameras have numerous designs and use:
*[[Professional video camera]]s, such as those used in [[television production]], may be [[television studio]]-based or mobile in the case of an [[electronic field production]] (EFP). Such cameras generally offer extremely fine-grained manual control for the camera operator, often to the exclusion of automated operation. They usually use three sensors to separately record red, green and blue.
* [[Camcorder]]s combine a camera and a [[VCR]] or other recording device in one unit; these are mobile, and were widely used for television production, [[home movie]]s, [[electronic news gathering]] (ENG) (including [[citizen journalism]]), and similar applications. Since the transition to digital video cameras, most cameras have in-built recording media and as such are also camcorders. [[Action camera]]s often have 360° recording capabilities.
* [[Closed-circuit television]] (CCTV) generally uses [[pan–tilt–zoom camera]]s (PTZ), for security, surveillance, and/or monitoring purposes. Such cameras are designed to be small, easily hidden, and able to operate unattended; those used in industrial or scientific settings are often meant for use in environments that are normally inaccessible or uncomfortable for humans, and are therefore hardened for such hostile environments (e.g. [[Radiation hardening|radiation]], high heat, or toxic chemical exposure).
* [[Webcam]]s are video cameras that stream a live video feed to a computer.
* Many [[smartphones]] have built-in video cameras and even [[Camera phone|high-end smartphones]] can capture video in 4K resolution.
* Special camera systems are used for scientific research, e.g. on board a [[satellite]] or a [[space probe]], in [[artificial intelligence]] and [[robotics]] research, and in [[medical]] use. Such cameras are often tuned for non-visible radiation for [[infrared]] (for [[night vision]] and heat sensing) or [[X-ray]] (for medical and [[Speckle imaging|video astronomy]] use).
