The Saturn V had several cameras affixed to it, intended to be ejected and later recovered. Three of the four cameras on board the S-IC failed to eject and thus were destroyed, and only one of the two cameras on the S-II was recovered.{{sfn|Mission Report|p=4-1}} Two of these cameras were intended to film the S-IC/S-II separation and the other two were to film the liquid oxygen tank; the one that was recovered had filmed separation. The failure to eject was attributed to a lack of nitrogen pressure in the bottles that were to cause the ejection.{{sfn|Orloff & Harland 2006|p=153}} The command module carried a motion picture camera, intended to be activated during launch and during re-entry. Because the mission took about ten minutes longer than planned, re-entry events were not filmed.{{sfn|Mission Report|pp=5-15–5-19}}

A [[70 mm film|70 mm]] still camera operated in the CM during part of the mission, pointed at the Earth through the hatch window.{{sfn|Mission Report|pp=5-15–5-19}} Coverage included parts of the United States, the Atlantic Ocean, Africa, and the western Pacific Ocean. The camera had haze-penetrating film and filter combination, with better color balance and higher resolution than photographs taken on previous American crewed missions.<ref name = "legacy" /> These proved excellent for cartographic, topographic, and geographic studies.{{sfn|Brooks 1979|p=249}}
