"The camera I'm going to talk about right now is called the "Action Cam". What this camera does, is it makes an image with four separate shutters. And again, it's very experimental. I wouldn't use this camera if you're taking pictures that you absolutely want to come out perfectly. It's a camera that you really want to just do - want to use - for fun. And again, that's why I really like these cameras, it brings the fun part of photography, and also some of the mystery. You wonder if this is really going to work, and they usually do. And what this camera does, it is has four separate shutters built into it, so you four frames on a 35 millimeter image. And again, the frames run in sequence, and what they do is each one goes off in a row. So if you have someone actually making four different faces, if you time it perfectly, you can get an image like that. And so that's really, again, why I like using this camera. And, there's really no focus on it. It's a lot of guesswork, and when it comes out, it is awesome."
