The camcorder is the consumer’s device that combines a video camera and a video recorder into a single unit, so that people can record their favorite moments. While at one time these moments were recorded on tape, they can now be recorded onto to a DVD. Or the latest and most sophisticated camcorders use a different storage media e.g., such as a built-in HDD or a memory card.
The three major components of the camcorder are the lens, imager and recorder. The lens includes the aperture, the zoom element of the lens and the shutter. In the consumer unit the camera is controlled by the electronics of the camcorder, the light is gathered by the lens and focused onto the imager. The image is projected onto the imager through the camera lens. The light is then converted into an electronic video signal, which then writes the video to the recording medium, e.g. tape, hard drive, DVD, etc.
