This is the camera that we were working on, known as the Sony NX5. The first big filming camera that I have ever set my hands on.
The First thing I learnt, and was very surprised by, was discovering that when filming the camera is in fact taking 25 still photo's (Frames) per second and when we watch the video back it is the process of them all being played back at a really high speed.
On the lens there are three controls: Focus on the outer ring, Zoom on the middle ring and exposure on the inner ring.
These are all very important controls that are used for the majority of the time and learning how to use each one individually is much easier then you may think.
Moving onto the screen of the camera:

The top left we see the battery bars showing how much life there is still on the camera. Top right there are some numbers:
01 : 15 : 13 : 02
Hours : Minutes : Seconds : The Frames (goes up to 14 - 0 is counted as one)
This is showing the amount that has been filmed on the camera. It's known as the 'Time Code'.
